The CEA ATM 18/18 was conceived to be introduced in the modern
Pharmaceutical production line.
It is placed after the filling and sterilization line, before the
labeling and packaging line. The ampoules and/or vials are loaded
manually on the loading plane of the ATM machine 18/18 by trays. The
output of the rejected and approved ampoules and/or vials are
respectively collected in separate trays.
Formats: 1-2-5 ml
Technical characteristics:
• Dimension ampoules and bottles: Diameter Ø from 9 to 18 mm total
height up to 100 mm
• Mechanical speed: 18,000 vials/hour max. for 1 – 2 ml ampoule
• Rotation speed: continuously adjustable from 500 to 3000 rpm
• Power supply: 230V ± 10% 50/60 Hz 1Ph
• The Client must guarantee a voltage fluctuation of no more than
10%
• Absorbed power: 5 Kw
• Loading/unloading plane height: 900 mm (adjustable ± 25 mm)
• Dimension: mm 2460 x 1720 x 1740 h
• Weight: 1200kg
• Noise: ≤ 75 dB (A)
Process description:
The process control is fully automatic. The ampoules and vials are
subjected to a series of inspections carried out by cameras.
The ATM18 is intended for the automatic control (detection of
impurities), by means of lighting, of liquid pharmaceutical products
in glass containers (ampoules and vials).
The operator manually loads the ampoules or vials onto a conveyor
belt; these are collected one by one and transported to the two
rotation stations to move the liquid and possible impurities.
Subsequently, the ampulla is blocked and a camera records a series of
images at a distance of 20 ms from each other. By means of a
controller, the first registered image is controlled with those that
follow. If the images are different, the ampoule is rejected. The same
procedure is repeated in two other stations similar to the one
described. In the third station the level of the liquid is also
controlled. Once the control is over, depending on the result, the
ampoules are placed in two different trays and the driver extracts
them manually.
Controls that can be executed by the machine:
a) Particle controls using various types of lighting (two stations)
b) Filling level and vial height (one station)
Base configuration:
Mechanical module: dedicated to the transport of ampoules and/or vials
throughout the control route.
The electrical panel of each complete module of the power circuits,
control circuit, motors, etc. is integrated in the mechanical module.
