Semi Automatic Aluminum Tube Filling And Sealing Machine
Achieve professional-grade packaging with the Harsiddh Semi-Automatic Aluminium Tube Filling & Sealing Machine. This ergonomically designed system is a high-efficiency solution specifically engineered for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries. It excels in the precision filling and secure sealing of metallic soft tubes, ensuring a leak-proof finish and long shelf-life for your products.
Our machine streamlines the “fill-to-finish” process by integrating filling, crimping, and batch coding into one synchronized operation, making it ideal for ointments, creams, toothpastes, and industrial pastes.
Systematic Working Principle
- Manual Loading: The operator manually feeds empty tubes into the holding stations on the rotary disc.
- Precision Filling: As the tube rotates to the filling station, the volumetric system dispenses the exact quantity of product.
- Mechanical Crimping: The tube moves to the sealing station for two-stage folding and crimping.
- Embossing: Batch data is pressed onto the crimped end of the tube.
- Automatic Ejection: An automatic bottom-pushed lever ejects the finished tube for final packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the machine handle the specific sealing needs of Aluminum tubes?
Aluminum tubes cannot be heat-sealed like plastic; they require a mechanical "cold fold." The Harsiddh machine features a specialized Folding and Crimping Station. It performs a multi-stage fold (typically a double or triple fold) on the tube tail and applies a textured crimp. This creates a hermetic, leak-proof seal that maintains the shelf life of the product without requiring any heat.
What is the production capacity and tube size range?
The Semi-Automatic model is designed for efficiency in smaller workspaces. Depending on the operator's speed in loading the tubes, it typically achieves an output of 15 to 25 tubes per minute (approximately 900 to 1,500 per hour). It is highly versatile and can handle aluminum tubes with diameters ranging from 10mm to 35mm and lengths up to 200mm.
How does the machine ensure accurate filling without product wastage?
Precision is maintained through several key features:
Volumetric Dosing: A high-precision SS 316L piston pump provides a filling accuracy of ±1%.
Positive Shut-off Nozzle: A specialized "blow-back" or "cut-off" nozzle prevents product dripping or "tailing" onto the tube walls or the sealing area, ensuring a clean fold.
Bottom-Up Filling (Optional): The nozzle can be configured to retract during filling to prevent air pockets (voids) in thicker ointments and creams.
What are the key cGMP and maintenance features?
As a cGMP-compliant unit, this machine is built for pharmaceutical-grade hygiene:
Material Integrity: All product contact parts (hopper, pump, and nozzles) are made of SS 316L, while the exterior frame is SS 304 stainless steel.
Easy Cleaning: The hopper and pump assembly are designed for quick dismantling, allowing for thorough sanitization between batch changes.
Batch Coding: The crimping jaws are designed to hold alphanumeric characters to emboss the Batch Number, Mfg. Date, and Expiry Date directly into the metal fold of the tube.
