Eye Drop Filling Machine

An Eye Drop Filling Machine is a highly specialized pharmaceutical packaging equipment designed for accurately filling, sealing, and capping small bottles with sterile liquid medications, primarily used for eye care. It plays a crucial role in maintaining sterility, precision, and safety standards in the pharmaceutical industry. The machine typically handles operations such as bottle feeding, filling, plug inserting, capping, labeling, and in some advanced models, even nitrogen flushing or sterilization. These machines are used in the production lines of ophthalmic solutions, nasal sprays, and other sterile liquid preparations.
