How to Select the Right Vial Filling Machine for Pharmaceutical Production
Functionality & Application Scope
Core Process Integration: Prioritize machines with integrated washing-drying-filling-stoppering capabilities (e.g., LYKGF model) to minimize contamination risks and streamline workflows.
Material Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with 2-30ml vials (common for injectables like vaccines, biologics, and insulin).
Technical Specifications
Filling Accuracy: Opt for systems with ±0.5% volumetric precision, critical for high-value APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients).
Sterility Assurance:
Class 100 cleanroom compatibility (HEPA filtration).
Dry heat sterilization up to 300°C for endotoxin-free production.
Machine Configuration
Automation Level:
PLC control systems (e.g., Siemens SIMATIC S7-200) for programmable batch adjustments.
Touchscreen HMIs (e.g., SMART 700 IE V3) for real-time monitoring.
