Vial Stoppering Machine

Vial Stoppering and Crimping Machine: Precision Automation for Sterile Container Closure

Introducing our Vial Stoppering and Crimping Machine, a critical vial machine engineered to deliver reliable, high-speed vial sealing for sterile injectable and lyophilized pharmaceutical products. This specialized vial stoppering machine automates the precise insertion of rubber stoppers into vials followed by the secure crimping of aluminum seals, ensuring a hermetic and tamper-evident closure. Designed for seamless integration into aseptic filling lines, it plays a pivotal role in maintaining product sterility, extending shelf life, and guaranteeing patient safety by achieving flawless container closure integrity (CCI).

Penicillin bottle capping machine   The Penicillin vial capping machine is specifically designed for secure and precise closure of penicillin vials in pharmaceutical production. Following stopper insertion, the system automatically positions each vial and applies the aluminum cap with controlled torque to ensure leak-proof and uniform sealing. The machine maintains stable vial handling, minimizing the risk of misalignment or damage during the capping process. Constructed from GMP-compliant materials and suitable for various vial sizes, this capping machine delivers reliable, hygienic, and high-speed performance, meeting stringent pharmaceutical standards for penicillin and other sensitive injectable products.

Lid pressing part   The lid pressing machine of the vial stopper and crimping system is designed to accurately insert rubber stoppers and secure aluminum caps onto pharmaceutical vials. Vials are precisely aligned under the pressing heads, where controlled downward force ensures the stopper is properly seated and the cap is tightly crimped without causing damage. The machine maintains stable, synchronized operation to achieve uniform sealing quality and prevent leakage. Suitable for various vial sizes and stopper types, it is constructed from GMP-compliant materials and provides reliable, hygienic, and efficient performance for high-speed pharmaceutical vial production lines.

Engineered for Critical Aseptic and Lyophilization Processes

This machine is purpose-built for the demanding environments of sterile manufacturing and lyophilization cycles. As a versatile vial machine, it operates efficiently both in-line with filling equipment for liquid products and within freeze-dryers for lyophilized pharmaceuticals. It handles a wide range of vial sizes (e.g., 2R to 100R) and stopper types (lyo, serum, or vented stoppers). The process begins with automatic stopper orientation and feeding, followed by precise placement into the vial neck. Subsequently, a precisely controlled crimping station applies an aluminum cap (flip-off, tear-off, or pilot-type) and crimps it securely under the vial flange. This integrated operation is the definitive solution for robust vial sealing.

Ensures Uncompromising Container Closure Integrity (CCI)

The primary function of this vial stoppering machine is to create a perfect seal that protects the drug product from environmental factors. It achieves this through advanced technological features:

• Precision Stopper Placement: A gentle, servo-controlled insertion mechanism ensures stoppers are seated squarely and consistently at the correct depth without damaging the vial neck or the stopper itself.

• Consistent Crimping Force: The crimping station utilizes a precision tooling and force-control system to apply uniform crimping pressure around the vial flange. This ensures every seal meets the required specifications for pull-off force and seal integrity, critical for regulatory compliance.

• In-Process Monitoring: Optional integrated vision systems or force sensors can verify correct stopper presence, seating depth, and crimp quality, providing 100% in-line inspection and rejecting any non-conforming units.

Core Features & Technical Advantages
