Working Principle of Vial Cap Sealing Machine
Duly Stoppered vials are continuously fed from the convetor of filling machine to the flat conveyor belt of sealing machine and move further through infeed worm for correct spacing and transferred to the infeed starwheel. Aluminium caps kept in vibratory bowl automatically orient caps in right direction before entering the delivery chute. Vial during its rotation movement with infeed starwheel picks up aluminum seal from the retaining finger of delivery chute and correctly position on the vial before entering sealing turret. Vial now moves on the spring loaded sealing platform, where free spinning sealing rollers moves gradually inside to complete the sealing operation during rotational movement of sealing platform turret. Now sealed vials are transferred to exit starwheel pocket and further moves out on to the flat conveyor belt. Duly sealed vials are collected on out-feed collection tray.

What is the production capacity of these machines?
- Single Head: Up to 50 vials per minute
- Four Head: Up to 100 vials per minute
- Eight Head: Up to 180 vials per minute Speed is adjustable via variable AC frequency drive to match production needs.
What vial and cap sizes can the machine handle?
Vials: Diameter 15mm to 80mm, Height 20mm to 180mm. Caps: 13mm, 20mm, 28mm, 30mm, and 33mm (with change parts). It supports both plain and flip-off aluminum caps.
What are the key features of the Vial Cap Sealing Machine?
- Full cGMP compliance with stainless steel contact parts
- “No Stopper on Vial – Machine Stop” and “No Seal in Chute – Machine Stop” systems
- Spring-loaded free spinning sealing rollers for damage-free sealing
- Variable speed control, digital counter, and photo-sensing for cap detection
- Optional acrylic cabinet, PLC/HMI, laminar airflow, and IQ/OQ documentation.
How does the Vial Cap Sealing process work?
Stoppered vials feed via conveyor to an infeed starwheel. Caps from a vibratory bowl are oriented and placed on vials. Vials then move to the sealing turret where spring-loaded rollers perform the sealing during rotation. Sealed vials exit via starwheel to a collection tray.
Can the machine be integrated into a production line?
Yes. It is designed to connect seamlessly with Vial Filling Machines and Vial Labeling Machines as part of a complete sterile Vial Filling Line for automated, high-efficiency production.
What safety and quality features does it include?
It features a special clutch on the infeed system to stop for overturned or oversized vials, photo sensors for cap presence, and no-vial/no-cap interlocks. These prevent wastage, damage, and ensure consistent GMP-compliant operation.
What industries is the Vial Cap Sealing Machine suitable for?
It is ideal for pharmaceutical, biotech, and veterinary industries, especially for injectable products requiring high sterility and tamper-evident sealing. Optional laminar airflow makes it suitable for Class 100 sterile environments.
What customization and support options are available?
Options include PLC with HMI, full machine cabinet, flip-off chuck, voltage adjustments, and IQ/OQ documentation. Adinath provides custom configurations as per user requirements and supports integration with existing lines. Contact them for inquiries.
