Ampoule filling and sealing system

Designed for high-speed sterile liquid filling and sealing, this system ensures precise dosage and tamper-proof integrity, making it vital for maintaining product sterility and safety in pharmaceutical production lines.

Fills and Seals Sterile Ampoules

The STERIFILL series from IMA Group offers a range of linear ampoule filling and sealing machines designed to meet the stringent demands of the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors. Utilizing a fully automated, precision-engineered filling system, these machines ensure high-capacity throughput while maintaining sterile conditions for liquid formulations. Capable of processing open and closed ampoules, STERIFILL models like the B4, B6, B8, and B10 can be equipped with up to 10 dosing pumps, allowing for versatile and efficient production of sterile injection solutions such as saline, antibiotics, vaccines, and more. Each unit operates with brushless motors for precise control, offering seamless integration into existing lines and compatibility with LAF hoods, RABS, or isolator enclosures. Further enhancing its operational efficiency, the machine includes features like a “no ampoule, no fill” system, user-friendly Siemens HMI for easy operation, and CIP/SIP systems for automated cleaning and sterilization. Engineers can benefit from tool-free size changeovers and reduced downtime, while its compliance with GMP and FDA standards ensures adherence to industry regulations. Whether as a standalone unit or part of a comprehensive processing line, STERIFILL exemplifies reliability and precision for sterile ampoule production.
