Double bagging solution for sealed tubs
Achieve sterile packaging for medical and pharmaceutical products with a compact, efficient double bagging process, ensuring contamination-free environments for sensitive applications.

Secures Sterile Packaging for RTF Products
The TBS Double Bagging Machine from Harro Höfliger ensures precise, sterile packaging of sealed tubs containing RTF syringes and vials using a compact, efficient design. This machine specializes in double-bagging with only one bag format, ideal for pharmaceutical and medical applications where aseptic conditions are paramount. Operating within ISO 7 clean rooms, the TBS handles vertically stacked Tyvek-sealed tubs, utilizing a mechanical sliding system for transferring tubs into opened bags. With a throughput of up to 4 single-bagged or 3 double-bagged tubs per minute, it supports low, mid, and high-speed operations. Integration into packaging lines is seamless, supporting various companion systems like labeling and control systems. Harro Höfliger’s TBS machine conforms to GMP standards, ensuring compliance with stringent industry regulations. It features aseptic bagging, which incorporates sophisticated sealing and cutting components to maintain sterility across small to large format applications. Customization options and engineering support ensure the machine fits specific production needs, maintaining sterility and product integrity.
