TurboFil Packaging Machines LLC, an equipment specialist in liquid filling and assembly machines, introduced a standalone, fully servo-controlled ceramic vial filler system. 

Designed as a cart-mounted module for portability between lines, the MediFil Cart delivers dosing accuracy by combining ceramic pump technology with exacting, expedient automation elements. The MediFil Cart can employ 12 piston pumps.

It blends tight-tolerance dosing precision, production floor flexibility, and operator-friendly ergonomics. Each of the system’s filling channels is driven by its own motor drive. This enables each filling channel to be individually adjusted for optimal accuracy. A suck-back feature minimizes drips, and optional customizable fluid fittings can match specific product requirements.

Integrated PLC and HMI afford simple setup, as well as control over all fill parameters – including enable/disable, volume, speed, acceleration, and suck-back. A recipe system further simplifies fill parameter setup during changeover. 

The unit’s stainless steel pump housing is designed for ease of disassembly and reassembly, and the ceramic pumps can be quickly removed via a single hand screw. Designed for portability, the entire system can be moved for cleaning and calibration, then returned to re-incorporate into production environments. 

Ethernet connectivity provides remote system control or incorporation into larger production lines. 

Deborah Smook, VP of Marketing & Business Development for TurboFil Packaging Machines, said, “The MediFil Cart is designed as a versatile filler that allows operators to perform set up removed from a production line, then integrate the unit in a just-in-time fashion that maximizes uptime and overall efficiency.”
