The PEM 400 is the most efficient way to form, insert and inseal paperboard bottoms into spiral-wound tubes. With paperboard bottoms applied on the PEM 400, all-paperboard containers are safe, environmentally appropriate and highly cost-effective. The double-sealed paperboard bottom increases top-to-bottom compression strength for easier stacking and provides an ideal location for printing date or UPC codes.

Designed for in-line production with a tube winder and downstream filling and closure equipment, the PEM 400 forms, inserts and seals paperboard ends into preformed, spiral-wound paperboard tubes. Super-heated air directed at the inside and outside sealing areas of the tube is used to bond the bottom to the tube to produce an effective seal. 

An easy-to-operate, free-standing control panel with graphic operator interface allows for basic machine control while displaying machine output data, defining faults, and providing diagnostic information with troubleshooting direction. When an absence of downstream container demand signals the PEM 400 to interrupt container output, cycle stop and idle mode features stop feeding pre-formed tubes, clear the turret of in-process materials and keep the machine indexing until demand resumes. AC servo motors enable both machines to easily adjust their production speeds to match those of in-line equipment.
