ZONESUN ZS-AFC20 Automatic Vial Filling, Stoppering and Crimp Capping Machine
The ZONESUN ZS-AFC20 is a desktop vial filling and closing machine combining peristaltic pump filling, stoppering and cap crimping. A bottle-handling turntable supplies vials to a servo-driven star wheel, which indexes them through the workstations before the output conveyor transfers finished products.
The listed recommended filling volume is 20–50 mL, customizable, with a reference capacity of 20–30 bottles per minute. PLC touchscreen controls provide operating settings, and vial and closure tooling must match the selected container format. An external air compressor is required and sold separately.

Applications
Designed for compatible liquid filling into vials that require stopper insertion and crimp-cap closing. Provide the liquid, target volume, vial drawing, stopper and cap samples to confirm pump compatibility, tooling and closure performance.
Machine Details
Vial Lifting and Crimp Sealing
The lifting crimping head raises and seals each vial cap to complete the closing process.
PLC Control and Servo-Driven Star Wheel
The customizable PLC touchscreen provides direct access to operating settings, while the servo-driven star wheel indexes vials between stations. An air compressor is required and sold separately.
Key Features
- Integrated peristaltic pump filling, stoppering and crimp capping
- Turntable bottle handling and servo-driven star-wheel indexing
- PLC touchscreen operating controls
- Lifting crimping head for vial cap closing
- Output conveyor for finished vials
- Customizable vial and cap configurations
How the Filling and Closing Process Works
- Confirm the liquid, vial, stopper and crimp-cap configuration.
- Prepare the machine, filling path and closures according to the supplied instructions.
- The turntable feeds vials to the servo-driven star wheel.
- Vials move through the filling, stoppering and capping workstations.
- The crimping head closes the compatible caps, and finished vials transfer to the output conveyor.
- Check sample fill quantities, stopper placement and cap crimp quality before production.
Configuration Guide
Provide liquid properties, filling volume, target output, vial dimensions and neck drawing, stopper specifications and cap samples. Confirm the star-wheel tooling, filling setup and crimping head, plus the selected 110 V or 220 V supply and compressed-air requirements. Pump flow of 2.5 L/min is a pump specification, not a finished-vial production rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it fill, insert stoppers and close vial caps?
Yes. The supplied description identifies filling, stoppering and capping workstations, with a lifting crimping head for compatible vial caps.
Does it tighten screw caps?
The described closing method is crimp capping. Screw-cap applications require a separate assessment of the cap and capping configuration.
What filling volume and speed are specified?
The recommended volume is 20–50 mL, customizable, and the listed output is 20–30 bottles per minute. Confirm performance using the actual liquid, vial and closure setup.
What vial dimensions are supported?
The listed vial height is approximately 45–60 mm, mouth size approximately 19.5 mm and cap size approximately φ16–22 mm, with customization indicated. The original bottle-diameter entry is 25–19 mm and requires confirmation against the actual vial drawing.
Is the air compressor included?
No. An external air compressor is required and sold separately. Confirm its pressure and consumption requirements for the supplied configuration.
What should I provide for a customized setup?
Send liquid details, target volume and output, vial drawings or samples, and matching stoppers and caps. These are needed to confirm tooling and the filling and closing arrangement.
