High Speed Injectable Vial Powder Filling Machine
Pharmaceutical powders are an important dosage form in the sphere of pharma. They are the basic ingredient for many medicines and vaccines.
The powder filling process can be a challenging one, especially if the vials contain finely ground active ingredients. Groninger offers a variety vial powder filling machine of machines to suit the specific requirements.
Automatic High Speed Injectable Dry Powder Filling Machine with Servo Driven Pick and Place Type Rubber Stoppering Machine
An automatic high speed injectable dry powder filling machine with a servo driven pick and place type rubber stoppering machine is designed to meet the needs of pharmaceutical industries. The machine is compact, durable and ensures aseptic filling conditions. This cGMP model is suitable for use in a variety of production environments and has superior control systems that are capable of detecting jam condition, stopping the machine in case of no vial or powder, counting the number of filled vials and automatic AC voltage and current controls.
A vacuum/pressure dosing system helps the automatic machine achieve good accuracy and precision levels even with micronized powders. The system also allows the operator to set a volumetric filling nozzle that is compatible with the container size.
This system is able to fill up to 25 kg of powder per minute. This type of machine is able to achieve an accuracy of +/- 1% depending on the bulk density and consistency of the powder.
The automatic powder filling machine uses a pair of mechanical agitators to vibrate the sterilized powder in the powder hopper which dispenses it through the powder wheel. The powder wheel has twelve ports and is vacuum-driven with a piston that is used to meter the amount of powder being fed into each port. The vacuum sucks the powder into the port and when it reaches just above the container, sterilized low pressure air is introduced to flush out the remaining powder from the port of the powder wheel.
During this process, the machine vial powder filling machine is also equipped with a doctor blade that scrapes off excess powder. This process is very important for maintaining a high level of filling accuracy and also ensures that the sterile powder does not mix with any other product in the container.
All contact parts of this machine are made of SS316L material. This ensures that they can be easily dismantled for cleaning purposes.
These machines are available in single and double wheel types that offer increased throughput as well as filling accuracy. The double wheel type is able to fill 80 -220 vials per minute and is ideal for large packaging centers.
There are many types of liquid dosing systems that can be used in these machines. The most common dosing system is an auto-multi-dose system that is capable of delivering a range from 50 mg to 8 grams. Another dosing system is the double-dose system that can deliver a range from 1.5 grams to 6 grams.
Another popular type of dosing system is the servo-based multi-dose system that is capable of filling containers that are larger in size. The servo-based multi-dose system is very efficient and can be operated by an operator with ease.
Lastly, the servo-based multi-dose machine can also be used to fill larger volumes of powder. The servo-based multi-dose machine is also available in different types, including a multi-dose unit with two nozzles that can be programmed to fill a range of powder sizes.
The servo-based injection filling and rubber stoppering machine has been designed to operate at high speeds and is able to achieve an accuracy of 99% (+ 1%) when it is used to dispense injectable powder. This makes the machine a good choice for a variety of products and packaging applications.
