Automatic Six Head Ampoule Filling & Sealing Machine
High-Speed Injectable Processing
The Harsiddh Automatic Six Head Ampoule Filling & Sealing Machine (Model HFS-6) is a high-speed solution designed for the simultaneous filling and sealing of glass ampoules. Utilizing the proven Angle Travel Principle, this machine offers a wide filling capacity from 0.5ml to 10ml, making it versatile for various open-mouth ampoule sizes. With its six-head configuration, it significantly boosts production output, reaching speeds of 80 to 150 ampoules per minute.
Operational Precision & Sequential Process
The machine is engineered to handle ampoules with extreme care, using a cam-mechanism transfer system that eliminates vibration and prevents breakage.
Sequence of Operation:
- Loading: Sterile ampoules are loaded into a slant hopper and pushed onto an eccentric rack via star wheel synchronization.
- Decontamination: Pre-gassing (Nitrogen) clears the ampoule of oxygen.
- Filling: Precision volumetric piston pumps discharge the liquid dose with high accuracy.
- Sealing: After post-gassing and pre-heating for thick glass, ampoules enter an extra-smooth revolving unit where a mixture of LPG and Oxygen creates a hermetic seal.
- Collection: Finished ampoules are automatically collected in a vertical tray without human touch, ensuring zero contamination.
Customizable Technology
- PLC with Touch Screen HMI for centralized digital control.
- Servo-Based Filling Systems for ultra-precise dosing.
- Peristaltic Pumps for handling highly sensitive or costly liquids.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the machine ensure consistent dosing across all six heads?
To maintain strict pharmaceutical accuracy, the machine is equipped with six high-precision SS 316L volumetric syringes. These are driven by a synchronized cam or servo mechanism to ensure a filling accuracy of ±1%. The "No Ampoule – No Fill" sensor system ensures that if a gap is detected in the transport line, the corresponding filling head will not dispense liquid, preventing waste and contamination of the conveyor.
Can the machine process different ampoule types and sizes?
Yes. The Harsiddh Six Head machine is designed for versatility. It can handle open-mouth glass ampoules (Type B & C) ranging from 1ml to 25ml. The "Walking Beam" transport system features adjustable centering grippers, and the changeover parts—such as star-wheels and racks—can be swapped efficiently to accommodate different ampoule diameters and heights.
What sealing technology is used to ensure a hermetic closure?
The machine utilizes the "Draw-off Sealing" method, which is the gold standard for glass ampoules. After the filling and nitrogen gassing stages, the ampoule necks are heated by precision Oxygen-LPG burners. Once the glass reaches its melting point, mechanical grippers pull away the waste glass tip, creating a smooth, rounded, and perfectly hermetic "dome" seal.
What are the key cGMP and safety features of this Six Head model?
As a cGMP-compliant unit, this machine is built to the highest pharmaceutical standards:
Material Integrity: All liquid contact parts are SS 316L, while the exterior and non-contact parts are SS 304 stainless steel.
Nitrogen Flushing: Includes both pre- and post-filling nitrogen gas flushing stations to displace oxygen and ensure the stability of sensitive injectable drugs.
Operator Safety: The machine is housed within a transparent acrylic safety cabinet with interlock sensors that automatically stop the machine if the doors are opened during operation.
Control System: A centralized PLC with a Touchscreen HMI allows for easy monitoring of production speed, flame intensity, and batch counts.
