Automatic Eye/Ear Drop Filling Line

Automatic Eye/Ear Drop Filling Line

Description

An Eye/Ear Drop Filling Line is an integrated system designed for washing, filling, inner plug inserting, capping, and labeling small-volume bottles (typically 5ml to 30ml) used for ophthalmic and optic pharmaceutical formulations. It is built to comply with cGMP, WHO, and US FDA standards, ensuring aseptic operations in sterile environments (Class 100/ISO 5 at filling area).

Features of Automatic Eye/Ear Drop Filling Line

  • Complete washing, filling, plugging, capping, and labeling line for ophthalmic/otic solutions.
  • Peristaltic filling technology ensures sterility and easy changeover.
  • HEPA-filtered laminar airflow in critical areas.
  • Quick changeover for different bottle sizes and closures.
  • Optional integration with visual inspection, track-and-trace, and carton packing systems.
