- Surgical Dosing Accuracy: Advanced volumetric dispensing ensures each tube receives the exact targeted payload, minimizing product giveaway and maximizing your bottom-line profitability.
- Uncompromising Sealing Aesthetics: Deliver retail-ready products with perfectly flat, hermetically sealed, and professional-looking tube tails every single time.
Anatomy of Efficiency: The Step-by-Step 12-Station Dual Workflow
The heart of the HTF-70A is its highly precise, robust Geneva indexing mechanism. This mechanical core drives a 12-station rotary plate that guides pairs of tubes through a highly synchronized, automated preparation, filling, sealing, and collection lifecycle.
1. Automated Double-Tube Loading
Manual loading is a bottleneck of the past. The HTF-70A comes integrated with an industrial-grade Auto-Cassette Storage & Feeding Device. This system automatically aligns and loads two empty tubes simultaneously into the specialized rotary sockets at every mechanical stroke, ensuring an uninterrupted flow of materials.
2. High-Speed Optoelectronic Orientation
To guarantee that your branding, text, and regulatory barcodes are front-facing and perfectly centered, the machine employs high-speed photo-electric sensors paired with dynamic stepper motors. Both tubes are independently scanned, rotated, and aligned using the printed eye-mark, providing absolute consistency across your entire batch.
3. Hygienic Air-Jetting & Vacuum Cleaning
Prior to the introduction of any product, the dual-head station executes a simultaneous decontamination cycle. High-pressure filtered air is blown into the deep recesses of the tubes to dislodge any microscopic cardboard particles, dust, or transit debris, while a synchronized vacuum suction instantly evacuates the contaminants. This step guarantees strict compliance with WHO-GMP and FDA standards.
4. Intelligent “No Tube – No Fill” Sensing
Product wastage and machinery downtime due to accidental spills are completely eliminated. Each of the twin sockets features independent proximity sensors. If the system detects that a socket is empty or a tube failed to load properly, the specific corresponding volumetric nozzle is instantly blocked from dispensing. Your machine stays clean, and your product is saved.
5. High-Precision Dual Volumetric Dosing
The filling assembly boasts two independent, heavy-duty Stainless Steel 316 piston pumps. Engineered to handle a vast spectrum of viscosities—from water-thin liquids to dense, pasty compounds—these pumps provide a staggering filling accuracy of $\pm 0.5\%$. The diving nozzle design incorporates positive cut-off mechanisms to prevent tailing, dripping, or stringing.
6. Tailored Dual Sealing Systems
Depending on your specific packaging materials, the HTF-70A configures to your precise sealing requirements:
- For Plastic & Laminated Tubes: The machine utilizes dual Swiss Leister Hot Air Tools. By heating the internal plastic lining of the tube tail locally and instantly pressing it with water-cooled jaws, it creates an airtight, aesthetically flawless, and resilient seal.
- For Aluminium Tubes: The workstation is swapped with a heavy-duty mechanical folding mechanism that delivers precise double, triple, or saddle-fold crimps, securing the product without the need for heat.
7. Integrated Synchronized Batch Coding
Directly following the sealing process, the dual batch-coding station embosses critical manufacturing metadata onto the flattened tube tails. This ensures clear, permanent, and legible rendering of batch numbers, manufacturing dates, and expiry information on both tubes simultaneously before they exit the machine.
8. Automated Ejection and Outfeed Discharge
Once the operations are fully complete, a mechanical lifter gently raises the finished, retail-ready tubes from their sockets and ejects them onto a collection chute or a synchronized outfeed conveyor system, preparing them for downstream cartoning and case-packing operations.
Industry Applications
The versatility of the Harsiddh Automatic Double Head Tube Filling Machine makes it an indispensable asset across a wide range of industrial manufacturing sectors:
- Pharmaceuticals: Filling medicated ointments, sterile creams, gels, burn treatments, and ophthalmic solutions into compliant aluminum or plastic tubes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this machine handle both Plastic (Lami) and Aluminum tubes?
Yes. While the base machine is a rotary indexed unit, Harsiddh offers interchangeable sealing modules. To switch from Plastic/Laminated tubes (which require Hot Air Sealing) to Aluminum tubes (which require Mechanical Folding/Crimping), the operator can swap the sealing heads. This versatility allows a single machine to manage a diverse product portfolio with minimal capital investment.
How does the machine ensure consistent filling across both heads?
To maintain strict weight accuracy, the machine is equipped with two independent, high-precision SS 316L volumetric piston pumps. Each head is finely calibrated to ensure a filling accuracy of ±1%. The system also includes a dual "No Tube – No Fill" sensor; if one station is missing a tube, that specific nozzle will not discharge, preventing product waste and keeping the rotary table clean.
How does the "Hot Air Sealing" technology work for plastic tubes?
For Lami and PE tubes, the machine utilizes a Leister Hot Air Tool. Hot air is blown into the inner tail of the tube to soften the plastic. Immediately after heating, the tubes move to the chilling and crimping station where serrated jaws press the tail together, creating a hermetic, aesthetic seal. An integrated trimming station then removes the excess plastic for a professional "flat-top" finish.
What are the key cGMP and automation features of this model?
As a cGMP-compliant unit, the Harsiddh Double Head model is built for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries:
Material Integrity: All product contact parts are SS 316L, and the main frame is polished SS 304 stainless steel.
Automatic Orientation: Features a dual Photo-Electronic I-Mark Sensor system that rotates both tubes simultaneously to align the front-facing graphics before sealing.
Batch Coding: Includes a dual-side embossing station to stamp Batch No., Mfg. Date, and Expiry Date into the tube seal.
Advanced Control: A centralized PLC with a Touchscreen HMI allows for real-time monitoring of speed, tube counts, and heater temperature for both heads.
