Vial Powder Filling Machine For Veterinary

Q: What is a Vial Powder Filling Machine for Veterinary?

A Vial Powder Filling Machine for Veterinary is a fully automatic monoblock system specially designed for the aseptic filling of sterile dry powder formulations into glass or plastic vials used in animal healthcare. It integrates powder filling (via vacuum-driven powder wheel) with immediate rubber bunging (stoppering) on a single compact platform. This machine is ideal for packaging veterinary injectable powders such as antibiotics (e.g., penicillin, cephalosporins for livestock and pets), vaccines, anti-inflammatory drugs, nutritional supplements, and lyophilized products. It ensures high dose accuracy, sterility, and compliance with cGMP and FDA standards for veterinary medicines while operating under Class 100 / ISO 5 laminar airflow.

Q: What is the filling accuracy and how does the powder filling system work?

The machine delivers high volumetric filling accuracy of ±2% to ±3% in single dosing, depending on the consistency and uniformity of the powder’s bulk density. Working Principle : Sterile veterinary powder in an agitated hopper (with mechanical agitators) maintains uniform density. A powder wheel with eight ports uses vacuum to suck precise powder volume. Excess powder is removed by an adjustable doctor blade. When positioned over the vial, a pulse of sterile compressed air or nitrogen flushes the exact dose into the vial. The “No Vial – No Filling” system prevents wastage of costly veterinary powders.

Q: Does the machine include stoppering and support aseptic processing for veterinary use?

Yes. It features a built-in rubber stoppering unit that inserts pre-sterilized, siliconized rubber bungs immediately after filling. Vials are held firmly by timing belts and pressed between rollers for a tight fit. Key aseptic features include: Operation in Class 100 laminar airflow (optional inbuilt LAF) All product contact parts made of AISI SS 316L , easily removable for autoclaving/sterilization Reduced laminar flow length due to compact monoblock design Safety interlocks and options for integration under isolators or RABS This minimizes contamination risk and ensures product integrity critical for animal health injectables.

Working Principle of Vial Powder Filling Machine For Veterinary

The sterilized powder is stored in powder hopper is agitated by pair of mechanical agitators for maintaining consistency and uniform bulk density. The powder wheel having eight ports rotates at the pre determined speed below the powder hopper with practically no clearance. Powder wheel consist of Piston in each port and behind the powder wheel vacuum plate is provided there is no clearance between powder wheel and vacuum plate due to back spring pressure. Precise volume of powder is sucked in to the port of powder wheel during vacuum according to the piston length different fill size can be achieved. The excess powder is doctored off by a doctor blade. Doctor blades can be adjusted from outside also without removing powder hopper. When powder wheel indexes further and remain in the port due to the vacuum till it reaches just vertically above the container. The time dose of Compressed air (Nitrogen Gas), sterilized low pressure air sequentially flushes out powder from the port of powder wheel in to the container one by one. The filled containers are immediately separated on the conveyor by vial separator and moves further for stoppering operation. (Different grooves separator can be used which depends on the container diameter or multiple dosing systems). The sterilized, siliconised, rubber stoppers stored in the vibrator bowl moves to vibratory bowl and stacked vertically in the rubber stopper chute. The container is hold firmly between pair or timing belt to pickup rubber stopper from exit end of the chute. Further the container is passed between two pressing roller for tight fit fixing of rubber stopper.

Key Components of Vial Powder Filling Machine For Veterinary

Filling Mechanism: Utilizes a vacuum-driven powder wheel or servo-controlled dosing system for volumetric filling, achieving accuracy of ±2% (dependent on powder characteristics like bulk density and environmental conditions). The powder is stored in a hopper with mechanical agitators to maintain uniformity and prevent settling.

Integrated Stoppering: Built-in rubber bunging or stoppering system inserts stoppers immediately after filling on the same monoblock platform, reducing contamination risks.

Material and Hygiene: All contact parts are constructed from SS316 stainless steel for easy autoclaving/sterilization. Optional inbuilt laminar airflow provides Class 100 sterile filling environments.

Customization Options: Multiple dosing via interchangeable change parts; tool-less adjustments for doctor and wiper blades; PLC with graphical user interface for precise control. Safety features include clutch systems for vial breakage prevention and rejection/sampling mechanisms.

Line Integration: Often part of a complete vial processing line, including washing, sterilization tunnels, capping (e.g., flip-off seals), labeling, and inspection stations for end-to-end veterinary powder injection production.
