Automatic Precision. Consistent Results.

The Auto Tube integrates with the AuraX and the optional Weight Checker to form a continuous packaging line. Each pre-roll is verified, inserted into a tube, flushed with nitrogen, capped, and sealed in one uninterrupted flow.

Nitrogen Environment

Medical-grade N₂ replaces oxygen before sealing.

Speed

Processes up to 30 tubes per minute.

Precision

Inserts one or two pre-rolls per tube with accuracy.

Automation Ready

Connects with conveyors, robotic feeders, and labelers.

Built to Last

Operates continuously in controlled indoor environments.

Smart Interface

Touchscreen control with real-time performance data.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging:
The Science of Freshness.

MAP technology replaces oxygen with nitrogen to create a stable environment inside each tube. This process prevents oxidation, maintains terpene content, and balances humidity to protect quality over time.

What MAP Does

Replaces oxygen with nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
Stabilizes moisture and terpene content.
Prevents microbial growth.
Extends shelf stability.

Why Pre-Rolls Need It

Oxygen degrades flavor.
Humidity swings create harsh burns.
Time weakens product structure.
MAP locks the pre-roll at its ideal state and keeps it consistent.

0–30 Days

Aroma fades.

60–90 Days

Flavor flattens, harshness grows.

120+ Days

Burn quality declines.

MAP maintains the original state from day one through the full shelf life.

Consistency Begins on the Line

MAP protects quality while maintaining throughput. Each seal captures the pre-roll at its best condition, reducing waste, preserving product performance, and maintaining brand standards. The Auto Tube supports continuous operation with easy maintenance and responsive service.

Reliable automation for constant uptime.

Precise packaging that minimizes human error.

Lower return rates through stable product quality.

Data monitoring for process control and traceability.
