Plugging Machine for Bathroom Tissue Rolls

When you think of what capping and plugging machinery is primarily used for, you probably think of containers of liquids being securely sealed. And while that is one of the most common uses for this type of equipment, another use for plugging machines is on bathroom tissue roll packaging lines, where the center roll is sealed with a plug to keep it from being damaged in shipping and to prepare it for use in facilities.

How Do Plugging Machines Function?

Vertical wheel pluggers are designed to improve the efficiency of a packaging line by automating the process of fitting plugs into products quickly and easily. They work with sorting devices to ensure plug fitments are oriented correctly before being set into the machine for use on products, which saves you the time not only of sorting them and positioning them, but placing them as well. The time saved by not having to place plugs manually is significant and can lead to saving money within your business as well.

Does Your Packaging Line Need a Wheel Plugging Machine?

Depending on the type of product you are packaging, a plugging machine may be an optimal choice for sealing the containers. Things like certain beverages, oils, vinegars, artisanal salts and spices, other foods products, products with a cardboard core (as seen in this video), and many other products utilize plugs as their method of either sealing the container or protecting it from damage otherwise.
