Filter Core & Spiral Tube Making Machines

Automatic Spiral Tube Making Machine for Filter Core

High-efficiency automatic spiral tube making machine designed for rolling expanded metal and perforated mesh into sturdy filter core support tubes. Equipped with variable forming speeds, an adjustable tubing diameter mechanism, and an intuitive touchscreen HMI control. If you need to slit wide metal mesh sheets into precise narrow strips before rolling, please view our Filter Media Slitting & Rewinding Machines.

This industrial Automatic Spiral Tube Making Machine is engineered for forming sturdy cylindrical support cores from flat expanded metal mesh, perforated mesh, or steel strips. It rolls and locks raw mesh sheets into a continuous, highly rigid spiral tube structure with reliable consistency and dimensional accuracy.

The heavy-duty system is highly favored by global filter manufacturers producing inner cores for automotive air filters, industrial dust collectors, and hydraulic elements. Its highly stable automated workflow reduces manual labor, ensures a uniform tube shape, and delivers the extreme mechanical strength required to withstand high-pressure filtration environments.

Key Features & Mechanical Advantages

1. Continuous and Uniform Spiral Forming

The machine utilizes an optimized multi-roller rolling process to convert flat metal mesh strips into continuous spiral tubes. The interlocking seams are tightly pressed to guarantee maximum structural integrity, preventing the tube from bursting or collapsing under heavy external pressure.

2. Flexible Tubing Diameter Adjustment

Operators can easily modify the forming diameter, tube length, and forming speed through straightforward mechanical adjustments and digital inputs. This versatile design allows one machine to handle multiple filter core specifications with minimum changeover downtime.

3. Industrial-Grade Rigid Construction

The structural frame and drive shafts are built with reinforced hardened alloy steel, designed for continuous, vibration-free operation in demanding factory environments. This ensures long-term operational reliability and decreases maintenance costs.

4. Smart Touchscreen HMI Control Panel

Equipped with a high-sensitivity touch HMI integrated with a stable PLC, the operator can set exact batch counts, monitor production speeds, and easily diagnose machine statuses on the fly, simplifying overall factory floor operations.
