Aseptic Vial Filler Capper

Aseptic Vial Filler Capper

The Aseptic Vial Filler Capper is a fully automated, high-precision machine designed for sterile filling and capping of liquid or lyophilized pharmaceutical products into glass or plastic vials under ISO 5 (Class 100) cleanroom conditions. It ensures zero microbial contamination through advanced isolation technology, in-line sterilization, and closed-system processing—critical for injectables, biologics, and high-potency drugs.

Key Features & Components

  • Vial Infeed System: Washed & depyrogenated vials enter via conveyor or turntable

  • Filling Station: Peristaltic pumps, piston pumps, or time-pressure systems for precise filling

  • Stoppering Unit: Inserts rubber stoppers (full or partial) under vacuum or mechanically

  • Capping Station: Applies aluminum/plastic flip-off or tear-off caps; crimps securely

  • Isolator / RABS: Restricted Access Barrier System or full isolator for aseptic zone

  • In-Process Controls: Fill weight check, stopper presence, cap integrity

  • Gas Purging (Optional): Nitrogen or argon flushing to reduce oxygen

Types of Aseptic Vial Filler Cappers

  • Monoblock: Filling + stoppering + capping in one compact unit

  • Linear: Separate stations in a straight line; higher speed

  • Rotary: Continuous motion; highest throughput (up to 600 vials/min)

Applications

  • Injectables (small-volume parenterals)

  • Biologics, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies

  • Lyophilized products

  • Cytotoxics, radiopharmaceuticals

  • Gene & cell therapies (low-volume)

Process Operation of Vial Filling and Capping

The incoming dry vials (sterilized and siliconized) are fed through the unscrambler and suitably guided on the moving Delrin slat conveyor belt at the required speed of the correct placement below filling unit.

The filling unit consists of Filling Head, Syringes & Nozzles; Syringes & Nozzles are made of AISI SS 316L materials. A Star Wheel is provided which holds the vial during filling operation. A sensor is provided for ”No Vial-No Filling” operation. Syringes are mounted on eccentric block and driving through bottom main gear box. Volume can be increase & decrease by increasing or decreasing stroke length of piston as per filling size. Syringes is having non return valve for sucking and delivering situation to avoid volume variation. Liquid reaches to filling nozzles through silicon transparent pipe. Nozzles having up & down movement with help of cam mechanism, and it come down when vial hold by starwheel for filling operation and starts filling when it starts to move up and after completion of filling operation, starwheel delivers two vials together on conveyor for rubber stoppering operation.

Stoppering unit consist of Star wheel, Vibrator unit and Bowl. The sterilized and siliconized rubber stoppers stored in the vibrator bowl moves vertically to the rubber stopper chute. The vial is hold firmly by starwheel, which will be in continuous rotary motion and vial which is coming from filling unit get in to starwheel and move in rotary direction along with starwheel, during movement it picks up the rubber stopper from the exit end of the chute and rubber stopper pressed by fix single pressing roller, which is spring loaded. Then vial further move on conveyor and collected on out feed starwheel for next sealing operation.
