Introducing the Snowbell Isolator Liquid Filling Process
In the world of liquid packaging, efficiency and precision are paramount. Snowbell, a leader in the industry for 18 Years, developed a comprehensive liquid-filling solution that addresses the diverse needs of manufacturers. From 2ml vials to 250ml bottles, this system ensures a seamless and reliable filling process, catering to a wide range of product volumes.
Automated Feeding and Filling
The liquid filling process begins with an automatic pusher that effortlessly guides the vials and bottles into an infeed turntable. This turntable then delivers the containers to the filling station, where the precise filling occurs. Utilizing peristaltic pumps, the system meticulously fills each container with the precise volume of product, ensuring accuracy within the given range.
Accuracy and Consistency
Snowball machines commitment to quality is evident in its 100% in-process check weighing feature. This innovative technology guarantees that the set volume of product is consistently filled in each vial and bottle, maintaining the highest standards of accuracy. Remarkably, the system remains inactive in the absence of containers, preventing any unnecessary filling and ensuring optimal resource utilization.
Seamless Stoppering and Capping
Liquid filling process seamlessly transitions to the stoppering and capping stages. A pick-and- place mechanism efficiently inserts the stoppers into the filled containers, while rapid transfer ports ensure a smooth and sterile process. The system is designed to refrain from picking stoppers when there are no containers present, further enhancing efficiency and preventing waste.
Rejection and Acceptance
Snowbell’s liquid filling solution incorporates a robust rejection system that identifies and removes any unstoppered or out-of-range containers. This meticulous quality control measure ensures that only the highest-quality products move forward in the packaging process. In the absence of containers, the system refrains from picking stoppers, demonstrating its adaptability and responsiveness to various production scenarios.
Ensuring Sterility and Safety
The final stage of the Snowbell liquid filling process involves the cap sealing machine, which seals the vials and bottles with pre-sterilized caps. These caps are fed into the isolators through rapid transfer ports, maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and sterility. The rejection system further ensures that any uncapped containers are diverted to a dedicated tray, while the accepted vials and bottles are collected in a designated tray outside the isolator.
SCADA for Enhanced Control
Snowbell’s liquid filling solution includes a SCADA system with IPC, compliant with 21 CFR Part 11. Critical machine parameters are password protected, and access is limited to authorized personnel. Electronic signatures capture the date and time, and purpose. Batch reports include, product size, batch number, recipe parameters, and times. Activity logs and alarms are recorded with timestamps. Data is stored in PDF format with a six-month memory. Regular backups can be made to a server PC, with restoration capabilities, ensuring secure data management.
Streamlining the Liquid-Filling Landscape
Snowbell’s innovative liquid-filling solution is a testament to the company’s commitment to efficiency, precision, and quality. By seamlessly integrating automated feeding, filling, stoppering, and capping processes, Snowbell has revolutionized the liquid packaging industry. With its advanced features, such as 100% in-process check weighing, adaptive system behaviour, and comprehensive rejection and acceptance mechanisms, Snowbell empowers manufacturers to streamline their operations, reduce waste, and deliver consistently high-quality products to their customers.
