In modern pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and laboratory industries, glass test tubes are a common container, and their accurate, efficient filling process is critical. Traditional manual filling is not only time-consuming but also prone to cross-contamination, affecting product quality. To solve these issues, the ZONESUN ZS-FAL180V6 Automatic Glass Test Tube Filling Monoblock Equipment was developed.

Integrated Design: Advantages of Monoblock Production

The ZS-FAL180V6 features an advanced monoblock design that integrates multiple processes—tube positioning, liquid filling, capping, torque adjustment, and labeling—into a single machine. Key highlights include:

  • High-precision filling: Uses a peristaltic pump to ensure liquid flows only through tubes, avoiding contamination; suitable for 10–30ml volumes.

  • Reliable capping: Equipped with a servo motor-driven capping system for secure sealing.

  • Intelligent labeling: Built-in photo-eye detection system for precise label placement.

  • High efficiency: Can process approximately 20 test tubes per minute, significantly increasing productivity.
