Ampoule Sticker Labeling Machine

An Ampoule Sticker Labeling Machine is a specialized piece of industrial equipment designed primarily for the pharmaceutical industry to apply self-adhesive labels (stickers) to small glass ampoules, vials, syringes, test tubes, or similar cylindrical containers. These machines ensure precise, high-speed labeling for product identification, including batch numbers, expiration dates, and branding, while maintaining sterility and compliance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards. They are essential in packaging lines for injectables, eye drops, and other liquid medications.

Unlike traditional wet-glue labelers, sticker machines use pressure-sensitive labels, which are cleaner, faster, and less prone to contamination. They handle fragile items like ampoules by using gentle transmission systems (e.g., horizontal or rotary setups) to prevent breakage.

Types of Ampoule Sticker Labeling Machine

AASL-120: Standard model machine labels up to 120 ampoules per minute.

AASL – 300: High Speed Ampoule Labeler labels up to 300 ampoules per minute.

AASL – 600: Super High Speed Ampoule Labeler labels up to 600 ampoules per minute.

Key Features

• Construction and Safety: Typically made from high-quality 304/316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning to prevent contamination. All moving parts are enclosed in safety guards, with exposed mild steel components powder-coated or nickel-plated for durability.

• Control Systems: Equipped with PLC and HMI touchscreens for user-friendly operation, allowing easy adjustments for speed, label length, and product delay. Imported sensors detect label gaps and container presence to prevent errors like missing labels.

• Drive and Speed Control: Features variable AC frequency drives for adjustable speeds with constant torque, often paired with imported gear motors for conveyor and pressing units. Built-in speed indicators and counters monitor performance in real-time.

• Labeling Precision: Achieves high accuracy with servo motor controls for label dispensing and wrapping. Supports full-wrap or partial labeling, with optional secondary pressing units for secure adhesion.

• Feeding and Handling: Includes in-feed trays, screws, or hoppers to load ampoules gently, often with rotary star plates for smooth transfer. Horizontal or vertical orientations are available, with horizontal models preferred for unstable, small-diameter items to enhance stability.

• Optional Add-Ons: Inkjet or laser printers for on-label printing, turntables for seamless integration with upstream/downstream lines, and overcurrent/temperature protection for reliability.

Process Operation of Ampoule Labeler

Ampoules are loaded onto infeed hopper of the machine from where it is delivered to the feedworm. Feed worm rotates ampoule and during its operation transfer the ampoules to the Starwheel. The Starhweel is having rollers of same diameter as of ampoule body diameter. Starwheel transfer ampoules to the labeling station where ampoule picks label one by one and further moves towards pressing unit. Pressing Unit equipped with rubber belt for proper placing the labels. During movement of ampoules from pressing belt ampoules get labeled.

Duly labeled ampoules get collected on Outfeed Collection Tray for further operation. In case of printing unit opted labels will be printed with printing device before applying onto ampoules. There are encoders installed which sense gap between two labels and accordingly provide signals to print data onto labels.
