Glass Ampoule Sealer

Glass Ampoule Sealer

Description:

A Glass Ampoule Sealer is a precision machine designed to hermetically seal filled glass ampoules by applying controlled heat. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotech industries to ensure that liquid products are securely enclosed in sterile, tamper-proof containers. This process ensures product safety, shelf life, and regulatory compliance.

How It’s Made:

Design & Engineering:
- The machine is designed based on ampoule size (1ml to 30ml or more), sealing type (tip, pull or flat), and production speed.
- Stainless steel body (SS 304/316) is chosen for hygiene and GMP compliance.
Structure & Components Fabrication:
- Frames, ampoule holders, rotary drive units, and burner nozzles are fabricated using CNC machines for high precision.
- Flame nozzles are made from heat-resistant alloys or ceramic tips to withstand high temperatures.
Gas & Ignition System:
- LPG or oxygen-acetylene-based burners are installed with fine control valves.
- Ignition system includes pilot burners or spark ignition for safety.
Motor & Drive Assembly:
- Variable-speed motor and gear systems rotate the ampoules uniformly for uniform sealing.
- Conveyor or carousel system feeds ampoules into sealing zone.
Control Panel & Sensors:
- Includes temperature control, emergency stops, gas pressure indicators, and flame control knobs.
- Some models include sensors to detect unsealed ampoules or flame faults.
Testing & Calibration:
- Each unit is tested for sealing accuracy, heat uniformity, and alignment of flame nozzles before final dispatch.

Where It’s Used:

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Units
Vaccine & Injectable Production Lines
Veterinary Medicine Plants
Biotech and Chemical Labs
Clinical Research Organizations (CROs)
Diagnostic Kit Packaging
Specialized Cosmetic Product Lines

Importance:

Sealing glass ampoules ensures sterility, leak protection, and tamper evidence. In pharma applications, even a slight defect in sealing can result in loss of efficacy or regulatory non-compliance, making ampoule sealers indispensable.

Advantages:

Safe & Sterile Sealing
Leak-Proof and Tamper-Proof Closure
Compact & Easy to Operate
Uniform Heating Prevents Cracking
