Pharmaceutical ampoule labelling system
In the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring precise and reliable labelling of ampoules is critical. Errors in labelling can lead to significant consequences, including regulatory issues and compromised patient safety. Efficiently handling high-speed labelling while maintaining accuracy is a primary challenge.

Accurate and high-speed labelling for ampoules
The ETFR STELLA series by Siempharma is an automatic system designed specifically for labelling pharmaceutical ampoules. This series operates by loading ampoules either manually or automatically onto a conveyor belt. The ampoules are then moved towards a carousel with specially designed housings, guiding them to the labelling station. A retractable blade applies the label with high precision, supported by a rotating device that spins the ampoule to complete the application. The ETFR STELLA labelers are equipped with a high-production labeller compatible with the pharmaceutical sector. Featuring motorized winders and a loop unit, the system can run up to 200 meters or 2,000 labels per minute, keeping pace with product speed. The chassis is constructed from aluminum with AISI 304 stainless-steel panels ensuring durability and compliance with GMP standards. The system is designed for easy size changeover and is prearranged for Track & Trace. User-friendly touchscreen HMI allows quick learning and easy configuration. Compliant with CFR21 part 11 / EU ANNEX 11, and designed according to INDUSTRY 4.0 standards, it offers full visibility and accessibility for maintenance and inspection.
