Centrac® FCC Metal Tube Closer

Professional, reliable and efficient closing for metal tubes, delivering a consistently high-quality finish.

Product details

Controlled Manual Tube Closing
The Centrac® FCC Metal Tube Closer is a manually operated machine designed for reliable and consistent closing of metal tubes. Operation is achieved by rotating a drive handle, giving the operator full control over the closing process and ensuring repeatable, high-quality results.
Suitable for Medium-Volume Production
Well suited to laboratory, pilot-scale and production environments where consistent tube closure is required without full automation. Output rates are dependent on operator technique and workflow rather than fixed machine speed.
Compact, Robust Construction
Built for durability and long service life, the Centrac® FCC offers reliable performance even in demanding production environments. Its robust design supports consistent results over extended operating periods.
Safe & User-Friendly Operation
All working parts are fully enclosed during operation, providing a high level of operator protection. The intuitive, straightforward design ensures quick setup and ease of use for production staff with minimal training.
Ergonomic, Adjustable Design
The infinitely variable 90° operating angle allows the machine to be adjusted for optimal operator comfort and efficiency, helping reduce fatigue during longer production runs.
Professional-Quality Tube Closure
The Centrac® FCC produces a clean, uniform closure on metal tubes ranging from 10–40 mm in diameter, giving products a polished and professional finish suitable for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and industrial applications.
Integrated Batch Coding as Standard
Supplied with coding jaws as standard, the Centrac® FCC can hold up to 12 digits or spacers for batch marking. This supports clear identification, full traceability and regulatory compliance.
