Crushable Tube Filler Sealer

It is widely used in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, herbal, Ayurvedic, biotech, cosmetic, and chemical industries for packaging products that require sterile, precise handling of crushable glass tubes.

Sterilized tube trays are loaded into a slant hopper. A synchronized star wheel delivers tubes one by one onto a moving eccentric tube rack. During rack stoppages, the machine sequentially performs pre-gassing, filling, post-gassing, pre-heating, and final sealing.

Key features include a compact cGMP-compliant design, production output up to 12,000 ampoules per hour, a “No Ampoule – No Filling” system, flow meters for easy flame regulation, minimum changeover parts for 1 ml to 10 ml sizes, ampoule neck centering during gas flushing and filling, full accessibility for maintenance, nitrogen gas flushing options (before, during, and after filling), a pre-warming station, SS 316L contact parts and SS 304 non-contact parts, plus easy cleaning and low maintenance.

Models range from AFS-1 (single head, up to 25 ampoules/minute) to AFS-8 (eight heads, up to 200 ampoules/minute). Intermediate models include AFS-2 (up to 50/min) and AFS-4 (up to 100/min). Higher overall output is noted up to 12,000 ampoules per hour depending on configuration.

It handles ampoule sizes from 1 ml to 30 ml (depending on the model; some models limited to 1–20 ml). Filling precision is ±1% across models, using piston pumps.

Yes, nitrogen arrangement is available before and after filling (and optionally during). Sealing uses LPG and oxygen burners, with multiple sealing burners and nitrogen nozzles scaling by model (e.g., up to 16 sealing burners and 16 nitrogen nozzles on the eight-head model). A pre-warming station is also included.

Contact parts are made of high-quality Stainless Steel 316L; non-contact parts use Stainless Steel 304. The design offers full accessibility for easy maintenance, minimum changeover time, little maintenance overall, and easy cleaning. Changeover parts are minimized for size ranges such as 1 ml to 10 ml.

It automates the filling and sealing process to reduce manual labor and human error, delivers high production speeds for greater efficiency, ensures precise and consistent fill volumes to minimize wastage, and provides airtight seals that protect contents from contamination while extending shelf life.

Power typically ranges from 0.5 H.P. (single-head) to 2 H.P. (eight-head) at 230 Volts, single phase, 50 Hz (adjustable to local voltage). Approximate dimensions vary by model—for example, AFS-1 is about 915 mm (L) × 610 mm (W) × 965 mm (H), while AFS-8 is about 2200 mm (L) × 1400 mm (W) × 1100 mm (H).
