Pharmaceutical ampoule labelling system

Achieve precise and efficient labelling of ampoules with a high-speed system designed for seamless integration into pharmaceutical production lines, ensuring accurate application and inspection at every stage.

Applies Accurate Labels to Pharmaceutical Ampoules

The ETFR-200/400/600 STELLA from Siempharma is a versatile ampoule labelling machine designed to meet the stringent demands of pharmaceutical packaging. This automatic system utilizes a rotating central carousel to accurately label ampoules at medium to high speeds, significantly reducing errors and ensuring precise label placement. Suitable for a range of liquid-filled ampoules, such as ampicillin and insulin, it operates efficiently with a throughput of up to 2,000 labels per minute.

The ETFR STELLA’s design incorporates motorized winders and a loop unit to maintain synchronization with product speed, enhancing production line integration. Its aluminum and stainless-steel construction ensures robust durability, while Lexan safety guards provide full visibility and easy access for maintenance. Engineered for versatility, the machine accommodates various ampoule sizes with minimal changeover effort, avoiding complicated mechanical adjustments.

In adherence to industry standards, the machine is configured with Track & Trace readiness and complies with CFR21 Part 11 / EU ANNEX 11, aligning with Industry 4.0 digital integration standards. The intuitive touch screen HMI facilitates seamless operation, while optional vision systems support enhanced quality control through OCR, OCV, and barcode verification.
