The MLF 40x0 is designed for the safe filling and capping of
injection bottles in the two to five milliliter format. This unit handles up to
200 pieces per minute and provides gentle and safe container transport. High quality
is assured through the optimized 100 percent in-process weight control (IPC),
for precise tare and gross weighing. The MLF 40x0 is continuously fed from a
turntable, or a transport belt, with the incoming containers individually
transferred to the indexing transport system via a servo-controlled segmented
star wheel. At the outfeed of the machine, the containers are transferred by
another segmented star wheel to a continuous stream and conveyed onto a
transport belt or a tray. The transfer of the containers for the precise tare
and gross weighing is especially smooth and safe, thanks to a modern, format
specific, adjustable motion sequence. To transfer the containers to the tare
and gross weighing station the bottom guide is lowered at a very shallow angle
and the container is released approximately five millimeters out of the
transport cell. The filling station of the MLF 40x0 is available in a four or
eight pitch design, with a horizontal filling needle motion, depending upon the
volume of the containers. In addition to the standard rotary valves piston pump
system, all current filling systems, such as Time to Peak Filling (TPF) or
rolling membrane pumps, are available. The MLF 40x0 uses “Clean Feed” sorting
equipment, for the loading of stoppers and caps into the sorting bowls. Along
with low loading heights the laminar flow is less affected and the particle generation
is minimized.
