Working Principle of Eight Head Ampoule Filling and Sealing Machine

Empty washed & sterilized ampoules loaded onto infeed hopper of the machine. From where it has been received to receiving rack through starwheel/cassette. The moving rack which moves horizontally collect eight ampoules from the receiving rack and transfer the ampoule to the machine in left to right in an inclined position. During ampoule movement Pre-gassing, Filling, Post Gassing, Pre-heating & Sealing Station perform filling and sealing operations. At the end duly filled and sealed ampoules get collected automatically onto collection tray of the machine.

Sterilized ampoules are loaded into the slant hopper.

A synchronized star wheel delivers ampoules (in groups of eight) to a moving eccentric rack.

Ampoules move through stations for:
- Pre-Nitrogen Flushing: Inert gas to maintain sterility.
- Filling: Precise liquid dosing via chosen pump mechanism.
- Post-Nitrogen Flushing: Additional gas flush to prevent contamination.
- Preheating: Warms ampoule necks for sealing.
- Sealing: Uses LPG/oxygen for a clean, secure seal.

Filled and sealed ampoules are automatically collected in an upright position on a tray, with waste tips ejected into a separate container.

Key Features of Eight Head Ampoule Filling and Sealing Machine

High-Speed Production:
- Capable of filling and sealing up to 12,000 ampoules per hour (approximately 80–280 ampoules per minute, depending on ampoule size and liquid viscosity). For example, it can process up to 290 ampoules/min for 1ml ampoules, 270 for 2ml, 260 for 3ml, 240 for 5ml, and 150 for 10ml.
- Ideal for medium to large-scale production lines requiring high output with minimal errors.

Filling and Sealing Mechanism:
- Filling Capacity: Handles ampoule sizes from 0.5ml to 25ml in a single dose, with precise volume control. Common models support 1ml to 10ml ampoules, with some offering flexibility up to 20ml.
- Filling Options: Equipped with multiple filling mechanisms, including:
  1. Piston Pump Filling: Ensures consistent dosing for various liquids.
  2. Servo-Driven Filling: Enhances accuracy with programmable control.
  3. Peristaltic Pump Filling: Ideal for sterile operations, minimizing contamination.
- Two-Stage Sealing Process:
  1. Preheating: Removes residual droplets to ensure clean sealing.
  2. Sealing: Uses LPG and oxygen with clippers for precise, defect-free seals.
