Upper and lower reels feed automatically; after hot-roll forming the mesh is assembled and stacked — no manual transfer; pleat height, pitch and mesh width are set on the touch screen per element spec, pleat height 19–76 mm.
Pleating and gluing structures designed in house, customised to your element
From single machines to a full line, cycle times matched and layout done once
Electrical safety and EMC meet EU directive requirements
Spares kept in stock; engineers support you remotely or on site
Six main machine types cover element forming for oil, air and hydraulic filters. Specs are standard-machine ranges, adjusted to your media and element size.

Standard pleating model with hot-roll forming, for regular pleat heights and pitches.

Continuous feeding with pre- and post-pleating in one pass, for volume production of medium and large elements.

Volumetric PU dispensing with the bead path following the end-cap shape.

Continuous rotary operation: gluing, assembly and curing on one carousel.

Spot gluing on irregular end caps and seals, with programmable paths.

Pleating to inspection on one linked line, centralised PLC control, 1–2 operators.
A line is not a pile of machines. We first calculate cycle time from the element structure, fix the process, then specify and place each machine.
Roll temperature, tension and pleating rate are set by media weight and pleat height, keeping the whole roll consistent.
PU or hot-melt adhesive is dispensed by volume with closed-loop control; missing or broken beads stop the machine and alarm.
Element, end caps and centre tube are assembled in place; constant-temperature curing secures the bond, with quick-change tooling for many sizes.
In-line leak test plus appearance and dimensional sampling; data is archived for traceability and rejects are ejected automatically.

Hejian Tongchuang Filter Equipment Co., Ltd., established in 1992, specializes in the production of filter equipment. After more than 20 years of development, it has grown into a competitive enterprise of considerable scale, enjoying a high reputation in the industry.
Tongchuang Filter Equipment has a highly qualified workforce with strong technical capabilities. Through continuous product improvement and series development to meet customer needs, adhering to quality for survival and integrity as foundation, the company has developed multiple varieties of filtration equipment, mainly including fully automatic drum-type pleating machines, mesh separators, paper separators, CNC cutting and rolling machines, fully automatic inner PU pleating machines, automatic inner core forming machines, automatic square folding machines, two-component automatic gluing machines, automatic relay spot welding machines, etc. We warmly welcome new and existing customers to visit, provide guidance, cooperate sincerely, and create prosperity together.
As core consumable components in automobiles, construction machinery, and industrial hydraulic systems, the quality of filter elements directly impacts the operational stability of host equipment, while filter production equipment serves as the fundamental basis determining filter quality. With the upgrading of manufacturing industry, traditional single-machine manual production modes are gradually being replaced by automated filter production lines, driving the industry's transformation from labor-intensive to digital manufacturing.
Filter production cannot focus solely on molding and assembly; performance testing equipment is an indispensable link in controlling product quality. Regardless of the automation level of the production line, without professional testing equipment, it is impossible to effectively identify hidden defects such as seal leakage, substandard flow resistance, and insufficient pressure resistance.
Many operators planning to establish or expand filter manufacturing plants often fall into misconceptions during the equipment procurement phase, blindly pursuing high production capacity while neglecting product compatibility, resulting in idle equipment and capacity waste.
