Filling Plugging Capping Machine for Eye/Ear Drops

A Filling Plugging Capping Machine for Eye & EarDrops is a high-precision, fully or semi-automatic pharmaceutical packaging system designed to fill sterile liquids (like ophthalmic and otic solutions) into small containers, insert inner plugs/dropper tips, and screw caps with utmost accuracy and hygiene. This machine ensures sterile and contamination-free operation through HEPA filtration, laminar airflow, and contact-less filling systems like peristaltic or piston pumps. It's an essential part of pharmaceutical production lines for small-dose liquid packaging.

Features with Their Uses

Feature	Use/Benefit
Servo/Peristaltic Pump Filling	Delivers precise volume filling with minimal wastage and sterility assurance.
Vial/Container Feeding System	Automatically aligns bottles for uninterrupted filling.
Pick-and-Place Plugging System	Accurately inserts dropper plugs or nozzles into the bottles.
Rotary or Linear Design	Rotary for compact high-speed; linear for flexibility and format versatility.
Torque-Controlled Capping Head	Applies consistent and secure torque during screw capping.
Laminar Air Flow & HEPA Filters	Maintains sterile, ISO Class 5 (Class 100) environment in filling zone.
No Bottle–No Fill Mechanism	Prevents wastage and spillage if bottles are missing or misaligned.
Touchscreen HMI Interface	Easy operation, recipe saving, and real-time process control.
SS316L Contact Parts	Complies with GMP and is corrosion-resistant, ideal for sterile liquids.
Rejection Station	Automatically removes unsealed or misaligned containers.

Applications
