National Instrument strives to be a single source supplier that meets your entire production needs. The complete packaging line integrates Filamatic® filling machines and Capamatic® cappers with upstream and downstream components. National Instrument provides customized solutions for customers' specific needs; filling vials in different tray configurations, filling lipstick molds, impregnating pads with liquids, filling and stoppering containers at speeds up to 300 bpm, or filling multiple liquid products at the same time.
Filamatic® filling machines range from desktop filling machines to single-person production lines. There are many models of automatic and semi-automatic liquid filling machines, which can fill free-flowing, semi-viscous or viscous products from microliters to liters. The Filamatic® monomer provides multi-functional functions, including filling, checkweighing, inflation, filling weight correction, clogging, plugging, capping and capping, all at the touch of a button. The ability to dispense a wide filling range makes it possible to fill both small and large volumes of injection solution as a whole. National Instrument has installed a modular unit at the Parental Drug Association, Training and Research Institute (PDA/TRI) in Catonsville, Maryland. This machine can fill a wide variety of products, from free-flowing liquids to viscous creams. PDA/TRI is a global center for aseptic filling needs in the fields of education, training and applied research in the pharmaceutical industry.
The CAPAMATIC® capping and stopper machine provides a simple and reliable way to close containers with screw caps, spring caps, standard stoppers, freeze-dried stoppers and aluminum crimped lids. Capamatic® capping machines utilize servo torque-the preferred capping method. The distinguishing feature of servo torque control is that it provides extremely accurate applied torque, and can check the applied and removed torque during the production process, and can choose real-time data access. The control parameters of different bottle caps can be preset, and feedback is automatically rejected. Servo control combined with our patented extremely low inertia quick-change chuck ensures the most accurate torque for high-speed applications in the industry.
