Double Wheel Powder Filling Machine

Typical output ranges from 80 to 240 vials per minute (depending on fill volume, vial size, and powder characteristics). Single-dose fills generally achieve higher speeds, while multiple dosing reduces output proportionally.

It commonly fills 50 mg to 1.5 g in a single dose and up to 6 g with multiple dosing (using change parts). Filling accuracy is typically ±1% (or up to ±2–3% depending on the model), provided powder bulk density is uniform and humidity is controlled below 28% RH.

It handles glass vials from approximately 5 ml to 100 ml (diameters around 22–56 mm or 25–38 mm depending on the model). Standard rubber stoppers are 20 mm (with change parts for other sizes). Contact parts are usually SS 316L for sterility.

Two powder wheels with pistons and vacuum/air systems meter powder from agitated hoppers. Vials move under the wheels on a conveyor or star-wheel system. Excess powder is scraped by doctor blades, and the exact dose is deposited. A built-in vibratory unit then places rubber stoppers.

Common features include compact cGMP design, “No Vial – No Fill” system, multiple dosing capability, tool-less changeovers for hoppers/agitators, independent infeed/outfeed turntables, low air/vacuum detection interlocks, and easy-to-clean SS 316L contact parts suitable for autoclaving.

Typical requirements are 3-phase 415 V / 50 Hz (or single-phase options), 3–4.5 HP power, filtered oil-free compressed air at about 4 kg/cm², and vacuum of around 28” Hg at 300–500 LPM. Conveyor height is usually adjustable (815–940 mm).

Yes. It is built to cGMP, FDA, and often CE standards with SS 316L product-contact parts, minimal clearance designs to reduce contamination risk, and compatibility with laminar airflow or cleanroom setups. Built-in stoppering saves space under LAF units.

Contact parts are designed for easy removal and sterilization. Tool-less adjustments for doctor blades, wipers, hoppers, and agitators speed up changeovers. Regular cleaning of hoppers, wheels, and vacuum systems, plus monitoring of humidity and powder consistency, ensures consistent performance.
