Ampoule filling machines are specialized equipment used for the filling of ampoules, both open and closed, mainly in the pharmaceutical sector. Ampoules typically contain injectable medicines packaged in a sterile and highly controlled environment, requiring extremely high quality and safety standards. On Makinate you will find a wide selection of certified used ampoule filling machines, ideal for optimizing your pharmaceutical production line with a sustainable investment and professional performance compliant with industry regulations....
Operating cycle of closed-ampoule filling machines
Closed-ampoule filling machines operate through a complete and automated cycle: ampoules are loaded onto a tray and a screw feeder transports them one by one into a pocket of the transport starwheel used in rotary filling systems. The first step consists of opening the ampoules, either by cutting the neck (usually with the ampoule upside down to prevent glass fragments from remaining inside) or by melting the tip using a flame. After opening, the ampoules are filled using specific filling needles that vary depending on the product. Once filled, the ampoules move to the sealing station, where the neck is reheated until the glass softens, and a clamp seals the ampoule while simultaneously removing the excess glass, creating a fully hermetic closure as it cools.
Integration of ampoule filling machines into sterile lines
To ensure the integrity and sterility of pharmaceutical products, ampoule filling machines are integrated into sterile production lines along with complementary equipment positioned upstream and downstream. Before and after the ampoule fillers, machines such as decrystallisers, vial washers, autoclaves, and sterilization tunnels are used to verify the integrity of the ampoules and guarantee maximum safety. In the case of pre-opened ampoules, filling machines operate in the same way but without the opening station, optimizing the production process while still maintaining the quality standards required in the pharmaceutical industry.
