INNOVATION THROUGH AUTOMATION

Vial Filling

Efficient and Reliable Vial Filling Process Control

Midwest Engineered Systems provides cost-effective and efficient commercial and clinical vial filling automation equipment for various industries including medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical applications. Our systems can be designed to fill container types beyond vials including syringes, bottles or cell-culture dishes with the correct dose, every time.

Increasing product preparation and sample analysis throughput by reducing human intervention is key to our machines’ performance. Our complete systems are built with cleanroom-grade materials including bowl feeders that allow for bulk handling of sanitized containers and closures without the need for structured consumable delivery or technician prep. These high-capacity feeders allow for the vial filling automation to operate unattended for far longer amounts of time, letting valuable lab researchers get back to more important work.

Robust programming and the flexibility to modify the machine’s operation easily by non-specialized lab workers further increase the machine’s performance without the need for highly skilled technicians to troubleshoot and change the system for different processes.

In terms of flexibility, MWES offers several automated closure methods to seal the containers, all of which can happen within the controlled confines of the filling area to reduce exposure to possible contaminates. Our lab systems can integrate press-fit, screw cap and crimp close containers within the safe environment of the cell. These closures can also be automatically analyzed for proper containment and seal before leaving the automation cell.

Various quality control operations can also be integrated into MWES’s fluid-filling automation cells to ensure each vial, syringe, T-flask or other container system meets industry standards. We offer high-precision aseptic filling systems and in-process control packages that determine if the process is within acceptable constraints and can record these values to illustrate trending individually or across batches.

MWES can integrate several other options to enhance the vial-filling operation. These tasks include the ability to print serialized samples and batch information directly onto the container as well as to apply information labeling and tamper-resistant materials. This machine-readable labeling allows samples to be easily transferred into other lab processes without human data logging.

At their core, MWES’ lab filling equipment is designed to get automated sample production up and running as quickly as possible. Our filling equipment is designed as self-contained units that can easily fit in current production areas. Once secured, they only need connections for power, air and Ethernet. Systems can be up and running in as little as a day, allowing your facility to see production gains as quickly as possible.
