Dry Syrup Powder Filler Capper

A Dry Syrup Powder Filler Capper also known as a dry syrup filling and sealing machine is an automated or semi-automated industrial machine used primarily in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries to precisely fill dry powder formulations into bottles or vials and then seal them with caps. These powders are typically reconstituted with water by the end-user to form a liquid syrup. The machine ensures high accuracy, minimal spillage, and compliance with GMP standards, making it essential for sterile and non-sterile packaging lines.

This equipment is often part of a complete dry syrup production line, which may include upstream processes like bottle washing, air jet cleaning, and downstream labeling.

Key Features and Working Principle

• Filling Mechanism: Most models use an auger screw or volumetric rotary system driven by a servo motor for precise dosing. Some incorporate vacuum and air systems to draw powder into the container, reducing dust and ensuring ±1-2% fill accuracy.

• Capping/Sealing: Integrated capping heads apply screw caps, ROPP seals, or press-fit inner/outer plugs. Monoblock designs combine filling and capping in a single rotary station for efficiency.

• Bottle Handling: Bottles are fed via infeed turntables or conveyors, positioned by star wheels, and ejected automatically. Features like neck-holding grippers prevent spillage on bottle shoulders.

• Safety and Controls: PLC touch-screen interfaces for easy adjustment of fill volumes. Sensors detect low air/vacuum, no-bottle conditions, and include safety cabinets with toughened glass.

• Speed: Up to 60-120 bottles per minute, varying by bottle size, powder type, and configuration.

Common Applications

• Pharmaceuticals: Filling sterile dry powders for oral antibiotics, cough syrup bases, or nutritional supplements.

• Food & Dairy: Powdered milk, flavorings, or additives.

• Other Industries: Agrochemicals, cosmetics, or lab-grade powders.

Process Operation of Powder Filling Capping Machine

The incoming sterilized dry bottle is fed through the in-feed turn table. Suitable guide supply bottles on to flat conveyor belt at the required speed for feeding. There is filling head mounted on machine top plate in the same line.

When bottle reaches to the mechanical holder detained filling station, Bottle sensor sense the bottles and Magnetic clutch starts to rotate which is mounted on auger shaft. It fills the desired amount of powder into the bottle through auger, where rotation time is previously determined.

Duly filled bottles go upward on to the sealing station with the help of SS conveyor belt.
