Choosing a suitable automatic paper tube equipment requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as production demand, material characteristics, budget, and future scalability.

1、 Clarify production requirements

Application of paper tube

Industrial grade (such as textile yarn tubes, heavy-duty core rolls): High compressive strength is required, and flat roll paper tube machines are preferred.

Packaging grade (such as cosmetic tubes, film cores): Emphasis is placed on surface smoothness, and spiral tube winding machines or precision cutting machines can be selected.

Production requirements

Small batch/multi specification: semi-automatic model (flexible mold change, with more manual participation).
Large scale continuous production: fully automated production line (PLC control, speed above 100 meters per minute).

Paper tube specifications

Diameter range (e.g. 10mm~500mm), length (customized cutting accuracy within ± 0.3mm), wall thickness (determined by the number of layers).

Key purchasing paper tube making machine factors

Material adaptability

Check if the device supports the required paper types (such as kraft paper, recycled paper) and adhesives (water-based adhesives, hot melt adhesives).

Moisture sensitive materials require a drying system (infrared vs hot air).

Automation function

Basic functions: automatic glue application, tension control.

High level requirements: visual inspection (pipe wall defects), automatic mold replacement, intelligent counting.

Energy consumption and maintenance

Drying energy consumption accounts for a large proportion, and energy-saving design (such as waste heat recovery) is preferred.

Inquire about the tool life (such as carbon steel knife vs alloy knife) and replacement cost.
Extensibility

Reserved interface: In the future, intelligent monitoring (such as IoT modules) can be upgraded.

Mold compatibility: Does it support quick switching between different diameters/lengths.
Can be matched with the most suitable spiral paper tube making machine , balancing efficiency, cost, and quality requirements. If the budget allows, priority should be given to selecting models with intelligent functions to adapt to future industrial upgrading trends.
