Flexible Operator-Assisted Solutions for Small-Batch Production.
Our modular semi-auto filling lines bridge manual operations and full automation, delivering 60% cost savings with precision (±0.5%) for batches from 50-5,000 units. Engineered for rapid changeovers (<15 min) and multi-product flexibility.
Core Components:
Servo-Driven Dosing: Piston, peristaltic, or gear pump options
Ergonomic Workstations: Height-adjustable conveyors, foot pedal controls
Tool-Free Change Parts: Quick-release nozzle/bottle adapters
Compliance-Ready: CE, GMP, ISO 9001 certifications
Our modular operator-assisted workstations eliminate conveyors for maximum flexibility, handling unique container formats without changeovers. Key features:
Configurable Dosing Heads: 1-4 nozzles (piston, gravity, or pump-assisted)
Integrated Capping: Manual placement + pneumatic torque control (5-30 Nm)
Foot Pedal Operation: Hands-free activation
Mobile Design: 1.5m² footprint with lockable casters
Ergonomic station layout minimizes operator movement.
