Pen Refill Making Machines
Pressing stations work along a chain conveyor as the refill parts move through the machine, with a blue bin at the side.
Our pen refill making machines cover the steps that turn tubes, tips and ink into finished refills: assembly, ink filling, wax tipping, cap removing and a writing test. Each machine is set up for your own refill parts; the assembly machine handles gel, ballpoint and marker refills.
