Description

Vial Cap Sealing Machine is a fully automatic rotary sealing system designed to apply and crimp aluminum caps (plain, flip-off, and tear-off types) onto glass vials with high precision and consistency. It creates a secure, hermetic, and tamper-evident seal that ensures the sterility and integrity of injectable pharmaceutical products such as vaccines, antibiotics, biologics, and sterile liquids. Available in Single Head, Four Head, and Eight Head configurations, this machine is widely used in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, veterinary, and cosmetic industries. The Eight Head model (ACS-200) is particularly popular for high-speed production lines, delivering reliable performance while meeting stringent cGMP standards.

Vial Cap Sealing Machine can be seamlessly integrated with vial filling, stoppering, and labeling machines to form a complete sterile vial packaging line. Optional features include PLC with HMI, Laminar Air Flow (LAF), full safety cabinet, camera inspection system, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. Designed for cleanroom environments, the Vial Cap Sealing Machine ensures high efficiency, excellent sealing quality, minimum downtime, and full regulatory compliance.

Working Principle of Vial Cap Sealing Machine

Duly Stoppered vials are continuously fed from the convetor of filling machine to the flat conveyor belt of sealing machine and move further through infeed worm for correct spacing and transferred to the infeed starwheel. Aluminium caps kept in vibratory bowl automatically orient caps in right direction before entering the delivery chute. Vial during its rotation movement with infeed starwheel picks up aluminum seal from the retaining finger of delivery chute and correctly position on the vial before entering sealing turret. Vial now moves on the spring loaded sealing platform, where free spinning sealing rollers moves gradually inside to complete the sealing operation during rotational movement of sealing platform turret. Now sealed vials are transferred to exit starwheel pocket and further moves out on to the flat conveyor belt. Duly sealed vials are collected on out-feed collection tray.
