Two Head Ampoule Filling & Sealing Machine

Description

The Adinath Two Head Ampoule Filling & Sealing Machine fills 1 ml to 25 ml open mouth glass ampoules with 0.5 ml to 25 ml liquid filling using two head fillers and sealers in a single dosage. This machine can produce between 30 and 40 ampoules each minute. For small to medium-scale manufacturing in the chemical, cosmetic, biotech, and pharmaceutical industries, this equipment is perfect. The machine is designed to accommodate a wide range of ampoule neck dimensions, thicknesses, and ovality of available ampoules by using the principle of slant travel of ampoules during filling and sealing. The machine is composed of robust stainless steel components that require little replacement and require little upkeep. The seamless rotation of ampoules at the sealing station is caused by a single motor placement that synchronises all the drives. As soon as the ampoule filling equipment cannot locate the ampoule, automatic sensors halt the filling.

Ampoules are loaded straight into the slant hopper by the mechanised ampoule filler and sealer. Ampoules follow one another on an eccentric rack in time with the star wheel. When the rack stops, the ampoule sealing machine continues internal operations such as filling, heating, sealing, and pre and post gassing. Both standard and customer-specific versions are offered. We create Ampoule Filling and Sealing Machines using both our standard model and custom models based on the unique needs of our clients.

Working Principle of Two Head Ampoule Filling & Sealing Machine

Empty washed & sterilized ampoules receive automatically on wire mesh conveyor belt from outfeed of sterilizing tunnel. Ampoule fed automatically into in-feed hopper from the left hand side of the machine and feed to receiving rack through cassette. The moving rack which moves horizontally collect two ampoules from the receiving rack and transfer the ampoule to the machine in left to right in an inclined position through pre-gassing.

Key Features of Two Head Ampoule Filling & Sealing Machine

  • Construction: Made with a stainless steel (SS) square pipe frame and SS 316L contact parts for durability and compliance with cGMP standards. Non-contact parts are typically SS 304, with a matte finish for aesthetic appeal and ease of cleaning.

 

  • Filling Capacity: Suitable for filling 1ml to 25ml ampoules, with a dosing range of 0.5ml to 25ml per cycle. It operates using volumetric piston pumps, servo-driven pumps, or peristaltic pumps, depending on customization.

 

  • Output: Capable of filling 30 to 90 ampoules per minute (approximately 1,800 to 5,400 ampoules per hour), ideal for small to medium-scale production.

 

  • Operation: Fully automatic with minimal human intervention. Ampoules are loaded into an in-feed hopper, transferred via a synchronized star wheel to a transport rack, and moved through sequential stations:
    • Pre-Nitrogen Flushing: Inert gas (nitrogen) is flushed to reduce oxygen exposure.
    • Filling: Two filling heads discharge precise liquid volumes, with neck centering for accuracy.
    • Post-Nitrogen Flushing: Additional nitrogen flush to maintain sterility.
    • Pre-Heating: A low-pressure flame warms ampoules for sealing.
    • Sealing: Uses oxygen and LPG (propane) with specially designed rollers for uniform sealing of open or closed-type ampoules (Type B and C).

 

  • Sealing Process: Features a two-stage sealing system (pre-heating and final sealing) to ensure clean, precise seals. Waste tips are collected in a high-quality SS container.

 

  • Flexibility: Minimal changeover parts required for different ampoule sizes (1ml to 20ml or 30ml, depending on the model). Format parts can be changed by hand without tools.

 

  • Control System: Equipped with a user-friendly touchscreen interface for adjusting fill volume, speed, and sealing temperature. Some models include PLC-based controls for automated fill volume adjustments and an automatic stop function to prevent accidents and reduce wastage.

 

  • Maintenance: Designed for low maintenance with easy-clean features, including a large bottom opening for access. Stainless steel construction ensures corrosion resistance and sterility.

 

  • Safety and Compliance: Complies with GMP and CE standards. Optional safety cabinets, laminar airflow, or isolators can be integrated for sterile Class 100 filling. Energy-saving features, such as automatic shut-off when idle, reduce operational costs.

 

  • Additional Features:
    • Dead tray for upright ampoule collection.
    • Pre-warming station for thick glass ampoules to ensure perfect sealing.
    • Adjustable ampoule loading tray for handling various sizes.
    • Optional servo-driven or peristaltic pump for enhanced precision and sterility.

FAQ for Two Head Ampoule Filling & Sealing Machine

The Two Head Ampoule Filling and Sealing Machine offers an output of up to 50 ampoules per minute (approximately 3,000 ampoules per hour). It can handle 1 ml to 30 ml glass ampoules with a filling range of 0.5 ml to 25 ml in a single dose. Minimum changeover parts are required for sizes from 1 ml to 10 ml, allowing quick format changes with excellent flexibility for different batch sizes.

The machine works on the slant (angle travel) movement principle. Pre-sterilized ampoules are fed from the hopper into a moving rack in groups of two. They then pass through synchronized stations:

  • Pre-gassing with nitrogen flushing and neck centering
  • Precise volumetric filling using two heads (with diving nozzles for foam-free filling)
  • Post-gassing with nitrogen (before, during, or after filling)
  • Pre-warming and two-stage flame sealing using LPG + Oxygen while ampoules rotate for a uniform hermetic seal

Filled and sealed ampoules are collected upright in a dead tray. It includes a “No Ampoule – No Filling” system and automatic sensors to prevent wastage and ensure accuracy.

Key features include:

  • Two filling heads for higher output in a compact footprint
  • “No Ampoule – No Filling” system with neck centering
  • Pre & post nitrogen flushing facility (before, during, and after filling)
  • Pre-warming station and flow meters for easy flame regulation
  • High filling accuracy of ±1% (optimizable to ±0.5%)
  • Contact parts in SS 316L and non-contact parts in SS 304
  • Compact cGMP model with full accessibility and easy cleaning
  • Low power consumption (0.5 HP) and minimum changeover time

Benefits: It provides a perfect balance between speed and space, reduces product wastage, ensures superior sterility, requires minimal labor and maintenance, and is highly suitable for medium-batch injectable manufacturing.

The machine requires LPG & Oxygen for sealing and supports nitrogen gas flushing. Power load is 0.5 H.P. (230 Volts, Single Phase, 50 Hz – customizable). It is fully cGMP and CE compliant, with easy-to-clean design and low maintenance. It can be integrated with laminar airflow for sterile (Class 100) operation. We provide detailed operation manuals, operator training, and reliable after-sales support with spare parts availability to ensure minimal downtime and long-term performance.
