Semi Automatic Aluminum Tube Filling Machine
Optimize your production with the Harsiddh Semi-Automatic Aluminium Tube Filling Machine. This ergonomically designed system provides a comprehensive solution for the precision filling, crimping, and batch coding of aluminium tubes.
Engineered for high accuracy and efficiency, our machine features an auto-drip free mechanism and a sophisticated temperature controller to ensure a smooth, professional finish for every tube.
Versatile Manufacturing Solutions
As a leading manufacturer in India, Harsiddh offers various configurations to suit your specific production scale:
- Single Head Tube Filling Machine
- Double Head Tube Filling Machine
- 8-Station Aluminium Tube Filling Machine
- 12-Station Aluminium Tube Filling Machine
Precision Working Principle
- Manual Feeding: The operator places tubes into the feeder holding station.
- Drip-Free Filling: A specially designed filling syringe dispenses the product with high accuracy. A pneumatic cut-off system ensures a clean break, preventing any drips or waste.
- Dual-Phase Crimping: Tubes move to the crimping station where they undergo a two-phase process: initial pressing followed by a secure two-side folding.
- Integrated Batch Coding: A dedicated station presses the batch number and manufacturing date using a specialized stereo set.
- Automatic Ejection: Duly filled, sealed, and coded tubes are automatically discharged via a bottom-pushed lever system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the machine ensure a leak-proof seal on Aluminum tubes?
Aluminum tubes require a mechanical "cold fold" rather than heat. The Harsiddh machine features a specialized Folding and Crimping Station. It performs a multi-step sequence (typically a double or triple fold) on the tube tail and then applies a textured crimp. This creates an airtight, hermetic seal that maintains the integrity of the product without risking heat damage to the formulation.
What is the production output and tube size range?
The Semi-Automatic model is designed for efficiency in compact production environments. Depending on the operator's loading speed, it typically achieves an output of 15 to 25 tubes per minute (approximately 900 to 1,500 per hour). It is versatile enough to handle aluminum tubes with diameters ranging from 10mm to 35mm and lengths up to 200mm.
How does the machine achieve accurate filling for high-viscosity creams?
To ensure pharmaceutical-grade accuracy and prevent air pockets, the machine utilizes:
Volumetric Piston 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," ensuring the folding area of the tube remains clean.
Bottom-Up Filling (Optional): The nozzle can be synchronized to lift as it fills, ensuring no air is trapped at the base of the tube.
What are the key cGMP and maintenance features?
As a cGMP-compliant unit, this machine is built for easy cleaning and sterile compliance:
Material Integrity: All product contact parts (hopper, pump, and nozzles) are made of SS 316L, while the exterior frame is polished SS 304.
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.
Quick Changeover: The hopper and pump assembly are designed for rapid dismantling, allowing for thorough sanitization between different product batches.
