The fully automatic spiral paper tube manufacturing machine uses a spiral winding process to continuously form multiple layers of paper strips into cylindrical paper tubes. The produced paper tubes are used in various industries, including papermaking, printing, food packaging, and construction. The machine is simple yet efficient, capable of meeting the needs of large-scale production.

Spiral Paper Tube Manufacturing Machine Production Steps
The production process of a paper tube manufacturing machine is a continuous, automated assembly line operation. The main production steps include raw material preparation and feeding, spiral winding and forming, heat curing and drying, length cutting, and output.
1. Raw Material Preparation and Gluing
Large rolls of base paper are mounted on a paper unwinding rack. The base paper is first longitudinally cut into multiple paper strips of the required width by a slitting machine.
These paper strips then pass through a gluing device, where pre-mixed glue is evenly applied to one or both sides. The glue amount is precisely controlled by metering rollers.
2. Spiral Winding and Forming (Core Step)
The glued paper strips are conveyed to the forming machine. The machine has a high-speed rotating mandrel whose diameter is the inner diameter of the paper tube.
Guided by precision guide rollers, the paper strips are wound layer by layer onto the rotating mandrel at a constant spiral angle (typically 45°-85°). The edges of each paper strip overlap with adjacent layers, ensuring a seamless tube wall. During the winding process, the equipment applies radial pressure to tightly compact each layer of paper and promote initial adhesion of the adhesive.
3. Heating, Curing, and Drying
The wound, wet paper tubes enter the curing zone. Depending on the type of adhesive used, infrared heating, electric heating, or hot air circulation may be employed to heat the paper tubes, accelerating the evaporation of moisture in the adhesive or the curing of the hot melt adhesive, allowing the paper tubes to quickly gain structural strength.
4. Length Cutting
The fully cured paper tubes form a continuous “long line.” It is synchronously conveyed to an automatic cutting machine. The cutting machine uses a high-speed rotating saw or blade to precisely cut to a preset length (e.g., 60cm, 1.5m), resulting in a smooth, clean cut.
5. Finishing and Output
The cut finished paper tubes are conveyed out for automatic stacking, counting, or packaging.
What About Paper Tube Machine Price?
The price of a paper tube machine is influenced by various factors, such as the machine’s features, precision, production efficiency, and brand. Generally speaking, the more powerful, precise, and efficient the paper tube machine, the higher its price. However, a high price does not necessarily mean high cost-effectiveness. Some small businesses, when initially purchasing paper tube machines, do not need overly complex equipment and can choose a basic model that meets their production needs, thus controlling costs while ensuring normal production.
