Automatic Vial Powder Filling Machine

Automatic Vial Powder Filling Machine APF 12 is suitable to fill injectable powder in glass vials with speed up to 200 Vials per minute. All parts coming in contact with container, powder and rubber stopper or exposed to the atmosphere are made of AISI SS 316L as per regulatory requirements. Vial Filling Machine is equipped with Twelve Port Powder Wheel which works on vacuum suction technology for filling process. In built stoppering unit fix rubber stoppers immediately after powder filling. Filled and stoppered vials transfers onto cap sealing machine or swing conveyor as per process requirements. Sampling system provided to take random samples during the production. Infeed and outfeed turn tables provided on machine platform itself with speed adjustment function. Suitable size HMI screen conveniently placed onto control panel for ease of operation. As per customer’s need we offer Vial Powder Filling Machine in Single Powder Wheel, Double Powder Wheel, 8 Port Powder Wheel and 12 Port Powder Wheel Options. Needless to say all these machine models equipped with Servo based indexing mechanism which makes it suitable choice for any pharmaceutical need. 

The sterilized powder is stored in powder hopper is agitated by pair of mechanical agitators for maintaining consistency and uniform bulk density. The powder wheel having eight ports rotates at the pre determined speed below the powder hopper with practically no clearance. Powder wheel consist of Piston in each port and behind the powder wheel vacuum plate is provided there is no clearance between powder wheel and vacuum plate due to back spring pressure. Precise volume of powder is sucked in to the port of powder wheel during vacuum according to the piston length different fill size can be achieved. The excess powder is doctored off by a doctor blade. Doctor blades can be adjusted from outside also without removing powder hopper. When powder wheel indexes further and remain in the port due to the vacuum till it reaches just vertically above the container. The time dose of Compressed air (Nitrogen Gas), sterilized low pressure air sequentially flushes out powder from the port of powder wheel in to the container one by one. The filled containers are immediately separated on the conveyor by vial separator and moves further for stoppering operation. (Different grooves separator can be used which depends on the container diameter or multiple dosing systems). The sterilized, siliconised, rubber stoppers stored in the vibrator bowl moves to vibratory bowl and stacked vertically in the rubber stopper chute. The container is hold firmly between pair or timing belt to pickup rubber stopper from exit end of the chute. Further the container is passed between two pressing roller for tight fit fixing of rubber stopper.
