Automatic Lab Scale Ampoule Filling & Sealing Machine
Precision for Research & Development
The Harsiddh Automatic Lab Scale Ampoule Filling & Sealing Machine (Model HFS-30) is an essential asset for pharmaceutical laboratories and research institutions. Designed for the small-scale production of injectable liquids, this machine provides the same precision and reliability as high-speed production lines but in a compact, manageable footprint. It is the ideal solution for packing sterile and injectable liquids in glass ampoules ranging from 1ml to 25ml.
Operational Precision & Sealing Process
The machine operates on the advanced Angle Travel Principle, which ensures stable handling of various ampoule parameters, including neck dimensions and glass thickness. It is a comprehensive Monobloc system that functions as a flusher, filler, and sealer in one synchronized unit.
Sequence of Operation:
- Feeding: Sterilized ampoules are fed through a rectangular feeding system which increases stability and prevents breakage.
- Nitrogen Purging: Pre-gassing clears oxygen from the ampoule before the liquid is introduced.
- Volumetric Filling: A high-precision cam-operated piston pump discharges the exact preset volume.
- Sealing: After post-gassing, the ampoule passes through a pre-heating station and a delicate rotating unit where a mixture of LPG and Oxygen creates a hermetic seal.
- Collection: Finished ampoules are automatically diverted into a vertical tray for collection.
Why Choose Lab Scale Automation?
For R&D and pilot scale production, manual filling often lacks the consistency required for validation. Our Lab Scale machine automates the entire process—from feeding to final sealing—ensuring every ampoule meets pharmaceutical grade standards. The integration of high-quality stainless steel waste tip collectors and easy-to-clean surfaces ensures your laboratory environment remains sterile and organized.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the production capacity of this Lab Scale model?
The Lab Scale (typically a Single Head or Double Head) machine is optimized for precision over high volume. It generally achieves an output of 15 to 40 ampoules per minute (approximately 900 to 2,400 per hour). This allows researchers to produce enough samples for stability testing or clinical trials without the massive utility requirements of a full-scale production machine.
Can the machine handle different ampoule sizes and volumes?
Yes. Versatility is a core feature of the Harsiddh Lab Scale model. It can accommodate glass ampoules ranging from 1ml to 25ml (Type B and C). The "Quick-Change" parts allow lab technicians to switch between different ampoule diameters and heights in minutes, making it ideal for facilities that work with multiple product formulations throughout the day.
How does the machine ensure dosing accuracy for expensive R&D materials?
To minimize the loss of costly experimental drugs, the machine uses a high-precision SS 316L Volumetric Syringe system with a filling accuracy of ±1%. It is also equipped with a "No Ampoule – No Fill" sensor, ensuring that the dosing pump only activates when an ampoule is correctly positioned, preventing liquid wastage and keeping the work area clean.
What are the key cGMP and cleanroom features?
Despite its smaller size, this machine is built to the same cGMP industrial standards as our high-speed models:
Material Integrity: All contact parts are made of SS 316L, and the exterior is polished SS 304 stainless steel.
Sterile Environment: Its compact, slim-line design is specifically optimized for placement inside a Laminar Air Flow (LAF) bench or a glove box.
Gas Flushing: Includes integrated Pre- and Post-nitrogen flushing stations to protect oxygen-sensitive formulations from oxidation during the sealing process.
