AMPOULES FILLING & SEALING MACHINE
Operation:
Infeed conveyor is fed with ampoules out of magazines or directly from a Sterilizing Tunnel. Ampoules loaded on to a conveyor belt are fed to a screw conveyor in the upright position. The screw conveyor transports the ampoules on to a segment wheel to be carried on to a conveying cradle. The conveying cradle carries eight, six or four ampoules in a group through the stations pre-gassing before filling, filling, post-gassing after filling, pre-heating and heating in the vertical position.
Operations performed are as per below sequence :
- Ampoule transport by infeed conveyor, infeed scroll and ampoule transfer into transport rack.
- 8 ampoules are advanced per machine stroke.
- Centering of ampoule necks during gas flushing and liquid filling.
- Rotation of ampoules in the pre-heating and heating station.
- Elimination of burned-off ampoule tips by clippers and ejection into a separate container.
- Discharge of filled and sealed ampoules onto discharge tray.
Liquid Filling Station is with
- Filling Manifold.
- Eight AISI 316L dosing syringes and eight stainless steel discharge needles.
- A choice of electro-mechanical tube pinching valves, or rotary piston.
- Micro fine volume adjustment of the syringes for dosing variation.
- Ampoule neck centering during filling.
- No ampoule – no fill system without machine stop.
Ampoule sealing Station is with
- Pre-heating station with adjustable flames and flow-meter for oxygen and combustible gas.
- Sealing station with adjustable flames and flow-meter for oxygen and combustible gas.
- Ampoule rotation during the pre-heating and sealing cycles.
- One set of clippers to eliminate the ampoule tips after sealing and to eject them into a waste container.
