Automatic Eight Head Ampoule Filling & Sealing Machine
High-Performance Multi-Head Packaging
The Harsiddh Automatic Eight Head Ampoule Filling & Sealing Machine (Model HFS-8) is a flagship solution for high-volume injectable production. This machine follows the proven Angle Travel Principle, handling a wide range of open-mouth glass ampoules from 1ml to 10ml. With its eight-head configuration, it delivers an output of 80 to 225 ampoules per minute, ensuring maximum efficiency for high-demand pharmaceutical lines.
Operational Precision & Sequential Process
The machine is designed for a seamless, hands-free operation to prevent contamination. Ampoules are transferred through a vibration-free cam mechanism, moving precisely through various processing stations.
Sequence of Operation:
- Feeding: Sterilized ampoules are fed from the slant hopper via a synchronized star wheel or cassette magazine.
- Gassing: Pre-nitrogen purging clears the air inside the ampoule.
- Filling: Eight precision heads discharge the liquid simultaneously using a volumetric piston pump system.
- Sealing: After post-nitrogen purging, ampoules pass through a pre-heating station before being hermetically sealed using a mixture of LPG and Oxygen.
- Collection: Sealed ampoules are automatically discharged into a vertical tray collection unit.
Key Technical Advantages
- Single Motor Synchronization: All drive units are synchronized with a single motor to ensure perfect timing across all stations.
- Variable Speed Control: Equipped with a Delta Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for easy speed regulation.
- Hygiene & Maintenance: Large openings at the bottom and a flexible design allow for absolute cleaning and full accessibility for maintenance.
- Optional Upgrades: Available with PLC touch screen HMI, Servo-based filling systems, or Peristaltic pumps for high-value sensitive liquids.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the machine support different ampoule sizes, and are change parts required?
Yes, the machine is versatile and can handle ampoules ranging from 1ml to 10ml. While the machine is highly adjustable, specific "change parts" like the star wheel and ampoule rack are required when switching between significantly different diameters to ensure precision and stability.
How does the machine ensure sterile and accurate filling?
The machine utilizes a "No Ampoule – No Filling" system to prevent wastage and contamination. It is built with SS 316L contact parts and features a nitrogen flushing system (pre and post-filling) to ensure the stability and sterility of the pharmaceutical product.
What sealing method is used in this machine?
The machine employs the "Draw-off Sealing" method. After the filling process, the ampoule neck is heated by LPG/Oxygen burners, and the top is pulled away by mechanical grippers, resulting in a smooth, rounded, and hermetically sealed tip.
Is the Eight-Head machine compliant with pharmaceutical industry standards?
Absolutely. The machine is designed following cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) standards. It features a vibration-free stainless steel (SS 304) frame, easy-to-clean surfaces, and advanced PLC controls to meet the rigorous safety and hygiene requirements of the global pharma industry.
