Filling & Sealing Machine Maintenance: Full Guide

How to Properly Maintain Your Filling & Sealing Machine for Longevity Preventive maintenance is not a cost line — it is the most reliable investment a tube filling operation can make. Here is a figure that shapes every decision in this guide: unplanned manufacturing downtime costs between $10,000 and $260,000 per hour depending on production scale and product value (Oxmaint, 2025). For a cosmetic or pharmaceutical tube filling line running at 80 tubes per minute, a single 6-hour unplanned stoppage — from a seized sealing jaw, a clogged nozzle, or a pump seal failure — translates to roughly $23,000–$32,000 in combined losses: lost output, wasted in-process product, emergency technician overtime, and potential late-delivery […]
