Vial Powder Filling and Sealing Machine (also called Auger Powder Filling Machine for Vials or Powder Vial Filling-Stoppering-Capping Monobloc) is a specialized pharmaceutical packaging machine used to fill sterile powder (typically injectable antibiotics like Ceftriaxone, Cefotaxime, Amoxicillin, etc.) into glass or plastic vials, insert rubber stoppers, and apply aluminum/plastic caps — all under aseptic conditions. This machine integrates powder dosing, stoppering, and sealing in a compact mono-block or inline configuration, ensuring minimal human intervention and maximum sterility. Controlled by a reliable PLC system with touchscreen HMI, it offers excellent dosing accuracy, high production speeds, and full compliance with cGMP, FDA, and EU Annex 1 regulatory requirements.
This machine ensures compliance with cGMP standards for sterile injectable filling. If you need details on specific models, pricing, or comparisons with multi-head machines, let me know!
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 twelve ports which rotates at 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 into 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.
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 container is passed between two pressing roller for tight fit fixing of rubber stoppers.

A Vial Powder Filling and Sealing Machine is a fully automatic aseptic machine designed for precise filling of sterile dry powders into glass vials, followed by rubber stoppering and aluminum sealing. It is widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing for producing injectable powder formulations such as antibiotics, cephalosporins, vaccines, and oncology drugs. The machine integrates powder dosing, stoppering, and sealing in a compact, GMP-compliant unit to ensure high accuracy and sterility.
It is especially suitable for high-value or potent powder injectables.
The machine uses advanced dosing systems such as vacuum-pressure powder wheels or servo-controlled augers for consistent and precise fill weights. It operates in an ISO Class 5 / Grade A environment, often with RABS or isolator integration. Features like “No Vial – No Fill” interlock, dust extraction systems, SS316L product contact parts, and automatic rejection help prevent cross-contamination and ensure sterility throughout the filling, stoppering, and sealing process.
Production capacity usually ranges from 60 to 120 vials per minute in standard models, going up to 200–300+ vials per minute in high-speed multi-head configurations. Fill weight accuracy is typically ±1% or better, even for small fill volumes. The exact output depends on vial size (2 ml to 100 ml), powder characteristics, and the number of filling heads.
Choose a Vial Powder Filling and Sealing Machine when your product is a sterile dry powder (e.g., antibiotics or lyophilized formulations) that cannot be filled as a liquid. Powder fillers are designed with special dosing mechanisms to handle free-flowing or cohesive powders without clumping or segregation, while maintaining sterility during filling and sealing. Liquid vial fillers are better suited for solutions or suspensions, whereas powder machines excel in preventing moisture exposure and ensuring long-term stability of dry injectables.
