Senmei was founded in 2005 in Qingdao, Shandong Province, China. The factory covers more than 3,000 m² and over 95% of production is exported overseas.
Puerto internacional de empresas de Jiaozhou, No.2 Luanhe Road, Qingdao City, Shandong Province, China. La fábrica está dentro del alcance del Puerto de Qingdao para envíos de exportación.
Senmei machines carry the CE marking for the European market, and the company operates an ISO 9001 quality management system. CE and ISO 9001 certificates are available on request for buyers in regulated markets.
Senmei cuenta con más de 100 empleados en los equipos de ingeniería, fabricación, ventas y posventa. Los equipos de ingeniería y ensamblaje gestionan la configuración personalizada según los requisitos del comprador.
Senmei machines cover Ø 30 mm to Ø 160 mm outer tube diameter across the platform. Specific machines have narrower ranges — for example the SM1600-Q core cutter handles Ø 30–160 mm, the SM520-LC labeling machine handles Ø 30–160 mm, and the SM600-HL hot glue labeler handles Ø 30–130 mm.
Production speeds range from 5 to 35 pcs/min depending on the machine. SM600-HL hot glue labeler is the fastest at 30–35 pcs/min, SMQ-III multi-tool cutter runs at 20–25 pcs/min, SM600-F sealer runs at 23–25 pcs/min, SM520-LC water glue labeler runs at 9–11 pcs/min, and SM1600-Q core cutter runs at 5–7 pcs/min.
Senmei machines process paper tubes with wall thickness from 0.8 mm to 5 mm. The SM600-W outer coiling machine handles 0.8–1 mm walls, while the SM1600-Q core cutter handles 0.8–5 mm walls.
Standard power supply is 380 V / 50 Hz three-phase. 220 V / 60 Hz is available on request for buyers in markets with 220 V mains such as parts of South America, the Middle East, and North America.
Senmei machines require 0.4 to 0.6 MPa clean compressed air. Buyers need to provide a suitable air compressor on site. Most Senmei installations include the pneumatic manifold; the compressor itself is typically buyer-supplied.
The minimum order quantity is 1 unit per machine model. Senmei regularly ships single-machine orders to converters in Russia, Egypt, Peru, Saudi Arabia, India, Turkey, and other markets. Production line orders are negotiated per inquiry based on configuration.
Lead time is confirmed per inquiry based on machine model and configuration. Typical lead time is 30 to 60 working days after deposit for standard machines. Custom-configured production lines require engineering review before a confirmed date can be quoted.
Standard payment terms are T/T (wire transfer) with 30% deposit upon order confirmation and 70% balance after factory acceptance test, before shipment. L/C at sight is accepted for large orders from established buyers. Other terms such as OA or D/P can be discussed for repeat buyers.
Senmei supports FOB Qingdao (most common for export), CIF, CFR, and DAP (door-to-door). Door-to-door service includes export crating, customs documentation, ocean freight, and last-mile delivery to the buyer's facility, available for the major destination markets.
Senmei responds to WhatsApp and email inquiries within 24 hours on business days. A technical quotation with model recommendation, lead time, and shipping estimate typically follows within 2–3 business days after clarifying your application.
Senmei paper tube packaging machines are classified under HS code 8441.80 (other machinery for making up paper pulp, paper or paperboard, including cutting machines of all kinds). The HS code appears on the commercial invoice and packing list for customs clearance in the buyer's country.
Senmei machines are crated in fumigation-free wooden cases with anti-rust film, desiccant packs, and foam padding at impact points. Each crate is marked with machine model, gross weight, dimensions, and handling instructions. One standard machine typically fits in a 20'GP container; production lines may require 40'GP or 40'HQ.
Senmei ships from Qingdao Port (Port of Qingdao, Shandong Province), one of the largest container ports in northern China. Buyers may nominate their own freight forwarder or use Senmei's door-to-door logistics partner.
El tiempo de tránsito marítimo desde Qingdao varía según el destino:
Sí. Senmei prepara factura comercial, lista de empaque, certificado de origen (Formulario A / E / F según el acuerdo comercial de destino), certificados CE / ISO y certificado de fumigación cuando se requiere. Para envíos puerta a puerta, Senmei gestiona el despacho aduanero en el país de destino a través del socio logístico local.
Yes. Senmei provides a one-for-one service where a Senmei engineer travels to the buyer's facility for installation, commissioning, and operator training. Travel, visa, accommodation, and per-diem are quoted separately and depend on destination. Remote-control video support is included free for the first year for diagnostics and software tuning.
Senmei's sales and engineering teams communicate in Inglés, Russian, and Mandarin. For other languages we partner with local agents in target markets to provide installation supervision and post-sales support.
Sí. Senmei realiza una prueba de aceptación en fábrica con los tubos del comprador como material de prueba. Los compradores pueden asistir en persona o unirse por videollamada de WeChat / WhatsApp / Zoom. La FAT cubre velocidad de producción, precisión de alineación de etiquetas, resistencia de sellado y seguridad eléctrica. Se graba un video de prueba y se comparte con el comprador.
Las máquinas Senmei se construyen según el estándar eléctrico del país de destino. La construcción estándar es 380 V / 50 Hz trifásica (China, Rusia, la mayor parte de Europa y Oriente Medio). 220 V / 60 Hz trifásica está disponible para América del Sur, Arabia Saudita y partes de América del Norte. Se suministran enchufes y tomas según el estándar local del comprador.
Senmei provides a 12-month limited warranty on main components from the date of shipment. Warranty covers manufacturing defects under normal operating conditions. Wear parts (cutting blades, sealing gaskets, glue nozzles) are replaced at buyer cost. Extended warranty and on-site service contracts are available on request.
Senmei recommends buyers keep a starter spare parts kit including: cutting blades, sealing gaskets, glue nozzles, photoelectric sensors, pneumatic cylinders, drive belts, and a small inventory of electrical contactors. Senmei ships spare parts kits with each new machine and offers 5-year parts availability from shipment date.
Sí. Senmei vende repuestos a compradores existentes con disponibilidad de 5 años desde la fecha de envío original. Las piezas de desgaste comunes (cuchillas de corte, juntas de sellado, boquillas de cola, sensores, correas) se pueden pedir individualmente o como kit. Los repuestos se envían desde Qingdao con la misma documentación de exportación que las máquinas.
Water glue (cold glue) uses starch- or dextrin-based adhesive applied at room temperature. It is the traditional choice for paper-to-paper labeling, especially on absorbent paper stocks, and is favored for food-grade snack cans. Hot glue uses EVA-based hot melt adhesive applied at 140–160 °C. It bonds faster, suits high-speed lines (up to 35 pcs/min on the SM600-HL), and works on coated, foil-laminated, or non-absorbent label stocks.

Outer coiling forms the outside curl/rim of the can end — used for stacking stability and visual finish. Inner curling forms the inside curl/rim — used when the can needs a tight inner seal against a metal or paper bottom. Both processes are performed by the SM600-W platform with different tooling.
