Description
LL-200 Labeling Line for Applying Pressure-Sensitive Labels to Glass Ampoules
Precision Labeling for Fragile Pharmaceutical Ampoules.
Labeling glass ampoules presents a unique set of challenges: the containers are small, fragile, and often contain high-value or sterile products. The LOCUS LL-200 for Ampoules is configured to meet these challenges head-on. It combines a soft-touch conveying system with a precision applicator to handle ampoules safely and apply labels with the accuracy demanded by pharmaceutical standards, ensuring legibility and compliance on every unit.
Key Features & Technical Advantages
-
Gentle Ampoule Handling: Features a specially designed conveyor and guides that securely transport glass ampoules without excessive vibration or impact, dramatically reducing the risk of breakage and product loss.
-
High-Precision Micro-Application: Utilizes a precision-tuned applicator capable of placing small-format labels onto the limited, curved surface of an ampoule with consistent accuracy, ensuring critical information (lot number, expiry, name) is always readable.
-
Pharmaceutical-Grade Compliance: Built with GMP principles in mind. Options include 316L stainless steel and cleanroom-suitable materials. The design facilitates easy cleaning and prevents contamination.
-
Adaptable to Various Sizes: Easily adjustable to handle different ampoule diameters and lengths (e.g., 1ml, 2ml, 5ml), making it suitable for production lines with multiple products.
-
Integration with Filling Lines: Designed to operate as a standalone unit or to be integrated seamlessly into automated ampoule filling, sealing, and inspection lines.

Industries & Applications
This specialized line is critical for producers of injectable products:
-
Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology: Labeling ampoules containing vaccines, insulin, hormones, antibiotics, and other sterile injectable drugs.
-
Contract Sterile Fillers: Providing a reliable labeling solution for CDMOs that fill and package ampoules for various clients.
-
Laboratory & Diagnostic Reagents: Applying labels to ampoules used for diagnostic tests, calibration sera, and laboratory standards.
Configuration & Operational Workflow
-
Core System: Consists of a low-vibration conveyor, precision side or top applicator, adjustable ampoule guides, sensor array, and control cabinet.
-
Operation: Ampoules are carefully fed into the system. Sensors detect each ampoule and trigger the applicator to place the label precisely on the cylindrical body. Gentle belts carry the labeled ampoule to the discharge point.
-
Validation Ready: The system is designed to be validated, with consistent performance that can be documented for regulatory submissions.
