In 2013, we acquired a machine capable of automatically filling single-component cartridges with a capacity of 310 ml. Cartridges of this size are widely used in the packaging industry and are a staple in DIY packaging, whether made of plastic or aluminum. Please note that these cartridges are used with a caulking gun and nozzles. And of course, at Etraves, we have all the necessary equipment and can supply it to you if needed.
The mono-component cartridges are widely used in most of the industrial sectors, and in particular in the automotive, aeronautical and building industries. By being equipped with this machine, we are thus reactive and endowed with a great faculty of adaptation in order to satisfy the most varied professionals, like the most demanding.
This machine, which remains as efficient as ever after more than ten years of operation, has enabled us to effectively position ourselves between production lines for small and large production runs. It offers high productivity, even for runs starting at 2,000 units. As part of our business, we package all types of adhesives and sealants in 310-ml containers.
310-ml cartridge: plastic or aluminum container?
The 310-ml format is available in two materials, each with its own advantages. The plastic container is cost-effective, lightweight, and suitable for the vast majority of adhesives and sealants; the aluminum container offers enhanced protection against moisture and air, which is essential for sensitive products such as certain polyurethanes. The choice therefore depends on your product’s chemistry, its target shelf life, and your price positioning. For more information, see our article on 310-ml plastic or aluminum cartridge packaging.
A Complete Filling Process
Automatic filling goes beyond simple dosing: each cartridge is filled to the nearest gram, sealed or fitted with a piston, and then inspected before being labeled and packed into a carton. This process is part of our comprehensive contract filling and packaging services: we can handle your product from the original container (drum, IBC, small barrel) all the way to the shipping-ready pallet.
No matter what your problem is: with this powerful machine, Etraves is sure to follow you from A to Z, whatever your project is: launching and setting up a new product, relieving a large stock, producing a perennial product with limited quantities...
