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.
