Automatic Lami Tube Filling Machine by Harsiddh
Optimize your high-speed production line with the Harsiddh Automatic Lami Tube Filling Machine. Specifically engineered for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries, this machine is the ultimate solution for filling and sealing laminated (Lami) and plastic tubes with high-viscosity products like creams, ointments, gels, pastes, and adhesives.
Equipped with a sophisticated rotary table and advanced heating technology, the Harsiddh Automatic Lami Filler ensures airtight sealing and micro-precise dosing, maintaining the integrity and shelf-life of your products.
Precision 12-Station Workflow
The machine operates on a systematic 12-station Geneva indexing mechanism, ensuring each stage is performed with surgical accuracy:
- Auto Loading: Tubes are automatically picked from the cassette loader and placed into the rotary sockets.
- Orientation: A high-precision Stepper Motor and eye-mark sensor rotate the tube to the exact position for perfect brand alignment.
- Vacuum Cleaning: Diving nozzles attached to a vacuum pump ensure the interior of the tube is free from dust or foreign particles.
- No Tube – No Fill: Intelligent sensors detect the presence of a tube; if missing, the dosing action is bypassed to prevent spillage.
- Drip-Free Filling: A volumetric dosing system with a pneumatic tail cut-off ensures a clean fill and weight accuracy.
- Hot Air Sealing: Utilizes premium Leister (Switzerland) hot air tools to heat the inner layer of the tube without affecting the product inside.
- Crimping & Batch Coding: Pneumatically operated jaws seal the tube and simultaneously emboss batch numbers or expiry dates.
- Trimming & Discharge: Excess plastic is trimmed for a smooth finish, and the finished tube is automatically ejected.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the production capacity and tube size range?
This automatic model is designed for versatile production speeds, typically achieving an output of 30 to 50 tubes per minute (approx. 1,800 to 3,000 per hour). It can handle a wide range of tube diameters—typically from 10mm to 50mm—and various lengths. The rotary indexed table ensures a smooth transition between the loading, filling, sealing, and ejection stations.
How does the machine ensure the branding/graphics are perfectly aligned?
To ensure a professional aesthetic, the machine is equipped with an Automatic Photo-Electronic I-Mark Registration System. Before the filling and sealing process, a sensor detects the "Eye-Mark" on the tube. The machine then rotates the tube to the exact degree required so that the seal is perfectly perpendicular to the front-facing graphics and branding.
How does the machine achieve clean, accurate filling for thick creams?
To prevent air pockets and messy seals, the Harsiddh Lami Tube Filler uses:
Bottom-Up Filling: The nozzle descends to the bottom of the tube and retracts as it fills, preventing air entrapment.
Positive Shut-Off Nozzle: A specialized "blow-back" or "cut-off" nozzle ensures no product drips onto the sealing area, which is critical for a strong thermal bond.
Dosing Accuracy: A high-precision volumetric piston pump maintains an accuracy of ±1%.
What are the key cGMP and finishing features of this model?
As a cGMP-compliant unit, this machine is built for regulated environments:
Material Integrity: All contact parts are made of SS 316L, while the main frame and non-contact parts are SS 304 stainless steel.
Tail Trimming: After sealing, the machine includes an integrated trimming station that cuts away excess plastic, leaving a clean, straight, or rounded "flat-top" finish.
Batch Coding: The sealing jaws are designed to hold characters for embossing the Batch Number, Mfg. Date, and Expiry Date directly into the tube's seal.
Safety: A full acrylic safety cabinet with interlock sensors ensures the machine stops if doors are opened during the high-heat sealing process.
