What Is a Lotion Pump Tube Extrusion Machine?

A lotion pump tube — commonly called a dip tube in the packaging industry — is the narrow plastic tube inside a pump bottle that reaches from the dispenser head down into the liquid. Every lotion pump, perfume sprayer, aerosol valve, and trigger sprayer relies on this tube to draw product from the container. The tube is typically extruded from LDPE or PP, with an outer diameter between 3–10 mm and wall thickness under 1 mm. If the OD drifts even 0.1 mm, the tube either won’t insert into the pump fitting or will fall out during automated assembly — creating reject rates that compound on high-speed cosmetic packaging lines running thousands of units per hour.

A lotion pump tube extrusion machine — also referred to as a dip tube extrusion machine — is a complete single screw production line built for this application. It takes LDPE or PP pellets through an extruder with optimized screw geometry, shapes the tube through a precision die, locks the diameter via vacuum calibration (±0.05mm OD), strips surface moisture with an air-knife system, pulls the tube at synchronized speed, and cuts it to exact length with servo-controlled cutting — square, V-shape, or angled, depending on the pump design.

Applications — Where These Dip Tubes Go

LDPE lotion pump dip tubes with v cut

Lotion Pump & Cream Dispenser Tubes

Lotion pumps are the highest-volume dip tube application in cosmetic packaging. The tube must hold a tight interference fit inside the pump housing to prevent fall-off during automated capping.

LDPE is the standard material — flexible enough to curve inside the bottle, rigid enough to hold its shape during insertion.

Perfume pump dip tube for fine mist sprayer

Perfume Pump & Fine Mist Sprayer Tubes

Perfume pump dip tubes are thinner-walled and narrower, demanding tighter OD tolerances and a cleaner cut end.

V-shape or angled cuts are common in this segment to match specific valve geometries where dimensional consistency directly determines seal quality.

PP aerosol valve dip tube for pressurized container

Aerosol Valve Dip Tubes

Aerosol dip tubes must withstand internal container pressure without deformation. PP is often preferred for its higher stiffness and chemical resistance.

Consistent roundness and low residual stress during extrusion are the primary quality drivers.

Trigger sprayer dip tube for household cleaning bottles.

Trigger Sprayer & Household Cleaning Tubes

Trigger sprayers for household cleaners and garden care use larger-diameter dip tubes that prioritize output speed and cost efficiency.
The tolerance window is wider than cosmetic applications, but surface moisture control remains essential to prevent traction slip.

What Our Clients Say

  • We run extrusion lines from multiple suppliers, but Jinxin’s 360° air-knife was clearly the best moisture-removal design we had seen. We ended up ordering additional air-knife units from them to retrofit onto our existing production lines. It solved a residual-water problem that had been causing cut-quality issues for months.

FAQ:— Lotion Pump & Dip Tube Extrusion Machine

LDPE and PP are the primary materials for this line. The screw geometry, compression ratio, and heating zones are optimized specifically for these resins to ensure stable melt pressure and uniform wall thickness.

If you need to process a different material, let us know during the configuration phase — we evaluate material compatibility before quoting, rather than promising a “universal” machine.

The line handles small-diameter tubing typically in the 3–10 mm OD range (exact range depends on die tooling). The leak-proof vacuum calibration system maintains ±0.05 mm OD tolerance with uniform wall thickness across production runs.

We verify this tolerance during the pre-shipment production trial with your specific material.

Yes. Our servo-driven rotary cutter supports square, V-shape, and slanted (angled) cuts. However, the machine ships with one standard cutting head — you need to specify your cut profile and V-angle requirements before we configure the line.

We manufacture and install the custom cutting head during production, then verify the cut geometry during FAT using your actual material. If your product range requires multiple cut types, we can discuss a quick-change tooling setup.

Both options are available:

  • Independent setup: Modular design with aviation connectors. We ship the machine with verified preset parameters, test videos, and full documentation. Experienced teams can commission without on-site support.
  • On-site support: If your team is new to extrusion or this is your first line, our engineers provide installation, commissioning, and operator training. Costs are itemized in the quotation — no hidden fees.

Every Jinxin dip tube extrusion line ships with a standard spare parts kit — all wear items, ready for immediate commissioning and routine maintenance. No separate purchase needed:

  • Cast-aluminum heater bands for the screw barrel × 2
  • Die head heater bands × 2 sets
  • Solid-state relays (Fotek / Taiwan Yang Ming) × 5 — the most failure-prone item on the line
  • Cooling fan × 1
  • K-type thermocouples × 2


This kit covers the typical consumables for the first 12–18 months of normal operation. For long-term replenishment, all core components (Siemens, ABB, Delta, Fotek, WECON, CHINT) are global brands with local distributor networks — replacements are sourced locally in your country, not shipped from China.

Drives, servo motors, PLCs, and HMI are not wear items — they run for the full lifetime of the line.

The root cause of assembly rejects is dimensional drift during extrusion — not just average OD, but ovality and micro-variations along the tube length. If the OD is even slightly undersized or out-of-round, the tube lacks the interference fit needed to seal inside the pump head. If oversized, it will not insert at all.

We control this through two upstream mechanisms, not end-of-line inspection:

  • Vacuum Sizing Tank: The leak-proof vacuum system holds the molten tube against the calibration sleeve under stable negative pressure, ensuring roundness and holding OD/ID within ±0.05 mm across the production run.
  • 360° Air-Knife Channel: Strips all surface moisture before the tube reaches the haul-off unit. This eliminates micro-slippage in the traction rollers — a common cause of intermittent stretching that creates diameter variation downstream.


The result is a tube that is consistently round and dimensionally stable, so it seats reliably in automated assembly equipment without fall-off or leakage.

Lead time: 50–60 working days from deposit, including mechanical fabrication, electrical assembly, PLC programming, and production trial with documented startup parameters. Special configurations may extend this — your quotation states the exact timeline.

Warranty: 12 months full-line coverage; HMI touchscreen extended to 18 months. Tier-1 components (Siemens, ABB) carry their own manufacturer warranties.

Packing: Fumigation-free wooden crates with anti-rust treatment and moisture-proof film. The stainless-steel cooling tank ships separately on a steel pallet due to size.

A general pipe extrusion line is built for large-diameter rigid pipes (PPR, PE, PVC) where output volume and wall thickness are the primary metrics. A lotion pump tube extrusion machine — also called a dip tube extrusion machine or lotion pump dip tube production line — is a fundamentally different single screw configuration optimized for:

  • Micro-diameter precision: 3–10 mm OD with ±0.05mm tolerance, versus 20–630 mm on pipe lines
  • Thin-wall stability: Wall thickness under 1 mm, requiring specialized screw depth, vacuum calibration, and moisture-free traction
  • Cut-end geometry: Servo-controlled V-shape, angled, or square cuts to match specific pump valve fitment — not straight guillotine cuts used on pipe
  • Assembly-line integration: The tube must seat reliably in high-speed automated pump assembly equipment for perfume pump, lotion pump, and aerosol applications

This is why Jinxin configures a dedicated single screw extruder with shallow-depth screw geometry and application-specific downstream equipment for dip tube production, rather than adapting a pipe line.
