TurboFil Introduces Assembly & Vial Filling Station for Unidose Liquid Nasal Applicators
TurboFil Packaging Machines LLC, an equipment specialist dedicated solely to the design and development of liquid filling and assembly machines, has introduced an assembly and vial filling machine for unidose liquid nasal devices, which are increasingly seen as an attractive alternative to injections for the self-administration or emergency administration of accurate drug dosages. Available in automatic or semi-automatic setups, the company’s UDS Rotary Vial Filling & Assembly Workstation increases both throughput and flexibility through its broad array of station separation and inspection options.
For automatic operation, a racetrack format with vibratory product feeding affords speeds up to 80-100 pieces per minute. For semi-automatic settings, the system utilizes an operator-loaded indexing star wheel with pucks, producing up to 30 pieces per minute. After using an air jet and vacuum system to clean each vial, the machine's initial inspection station checks for cracks. To perform this step, vials are raised and rotated, allowing for 360-degree high-resolution camera inspection.
