Working Principle of Eye Drop Filling Line
 
The empty eye dropper bottles are transported by the conveying mechanism to the rotary table positioning mechanism of the filling machine. There is a station for air washing at the bottle inlet. After air washing is completed, dropper bottles enter the large rotary table and are subject to nitrogen flushing before filling. When the dropper bottles are detected by the bottle-feeding photocell, the filling and lifting mechanism is pushed downward, the filling nozzles are then inserted into the dropper bottles. And the whole pump body liquid feeding and filling head liquid discharging process is completed by the metering pump. After the filling is completed, the dropper bottles are subject to nitrogen flushing. The lifting mechanism is raised, and the rotary table moves the dropper bottles to the dropper tip placing station. The dropper tips are sucked up by the suction nozzles and driven by the cam to the top of the bottle mouth through circumferential movement (the bottle clamping station clamps the bottle mouth). The dropper tip is pressed downward into the bottle’s mouth. Then rotary table takes the bottle with the tip to the capping station, and the cap suction nozzle takes the cap to the top of the bottle mouth carrying out the pre-pressing. The rotary table takes the capped bottles to the cap screwing station, and the cap is tightened by the cap screwing head. The rotary table takes the bottles after caps are screwed out of the rotary table mechanism and sends them to the conveying mechanism, which sends the bottles to the next procedure.

Benefits of Dolly’s Eye Drop Filling and Capping Machine
 
1. Refined Cutting-Edge Technology
 
  • The advanced PLC system realizes full-line automatic control and operation.
  • The design that the bottle surface is ultra-high from the table ensures that the laminar flow will not flow back into the bottle mouth. The shape of all parts on the table is designed to be easily cleaned without any dead corners. The functional stations of the equipment are completely operated under laminar flow protection, fully conforming to GMP requirements.
  • The automatic dropper bottle unscrambling mechanism adopts a curved design. Whether for round bottles or for flat bottles, the online unmanned operation can be achieved with high efficiency.
  • Aseptic purified air is used for air washing the dropper bottle, dropper tip, and cap. The ion wind eliminates static electricity attached to the dropper bottle, dropper tip, and cap. The air washing and bottle distributing device carries out air blowing on one way and back sucking on the other way, to ensure the cleanliness of the dropper bottle, dropper tip, and cap.
  • The advanced ceramic pump or peristaltic pump filling mechanism features a convenient and reliable disassembly, cleaning, and sterilization process. Servo motor is adopted for driving and touch screen for metering adjustment. The advanced dropper bottle distributing, bottle mouth clamping, and aligning device ensures that the filling nozzles are inserted into the bottle for filling without abnormal situations happening such as a bottle falling.
  • The integrated mechanism of the advanced mechanical hand vacuum dropper tip grabbing, tracking, positioning, and dropper tip feeding device, and the mechanical hand dropper tip cap grabbing, tracking, positioning, dropper tip cap feeding and cap screwing device ensure the machine runs stably and reliably. The air gripper-type cap screwing head is used for cap placing and cap screwing with adjustable torque, meeting the requirements of different dropper tip caps. The continuous rotary structure is adopted for dropper tip feeding and cap screwing to ensure production efficiency. It is provided with mature labeling, labeling, cartoning, wrapping, case packing, palletizing, and other automatic back-end-of-line packaging equipment.
