Labeling small pharmaceutical vials by hand is a very difficult and slow task for any medicine manufacturer. Because vials are small, round, and made of glass, applying stickers manually often leads to labels that are crooked or have air bubbles. This inconsistent look can make your product appear unprofessional and may even hide important medical information like the batch number or expiry date.
A Vial Labeling Machine from Fillpack Industries is the ideal solution for these pharmaceutical challenges. This machine is designed to handle delicate glass containers with extreme care and precision. By using an automated system, you can ensure that every single label is placed in the exact same spot without any wrinkles. This provides a clean, professional finish that meets strict medical standards.
How the Machine Works and Its Parts
The machine is specially designed for small, round, and delicate pharmaceutical vials. It ensures a smooth flow so that even the most fragile glass is handled safely.
Main Parts of the Machine
Vial Infeed Turn Table / Hopper: This part holds the vials and feeds them one by one into the machine in an organized way.
Conveyor or Star Wheel System: A specialized track that moves the vials through the machine and keeps them perfectly aligned.
Label Dispensing Unit: A high-precision unit that releases the sticker label at the exact micro-second the vial passes by.
Label Pressing & Wrapping Rollers: These soft rollers spin the vial gently to wrap the label tightly and smoothly around the glass body.
Simple Step-by-Step Process
Feeding: Empty or filled vials are placed on the turn table and are fed into the machine automatically.
Alignment: The automatic vial labeling machine positions each vial correctly so the sticker stays straight.
Labeling: The sensor detects the vial, and the machine applies the sticker label smoothly and accurately.
Output: The perfectly labeled vials move out safely into a collection tray without any breakage or damage.
