Product Overview
StriversMachinery’s automatic two-head vial filler coordinates liquid dosing and closure assembly within one production arrangement. Operators supply empty glass vials to the rotary infeed table and replenish liquid, rubber stoppers, and caps. The machine then handles container feeding, filling, stopper insertion and pressing, cap placing, crimping, and finished-vial collection.
Each filling head has an independently servo-driven magnetic pump. This arrangement allows the delivered quantity from each outlet to be checked and adjusted during setup. Applications focus on compatible low-viscosity liquids rather than thick creams, gels, or particle-containing formulations.
The selected package consists of a glass vial, rubber stopper, and aluminum or flip-off cap. After filling, the stopper enters the vial opening, followed by cap placement and aluminum-skirt crimping. The closure sequence does not include screw capping, ROPP thread rolling, or dropper assembly.
Included transport and the collection turntable provide a defined route from manually supplied empty containers to finished output. Manufacturers can assess this configuration where the required vial-filling output exceeds the needs of a compact single-head arrangement.
The machine belongs within the vial filling and closure equipment range, with selection based on the actual liquid, complete package, and required operating conditions.
Machine Configuration
The standard system includes a rotary bottle unscrambler, two independently servo-driven magnetic filling pumps, automatic stopper feeding and insertion, cap feeding and placement, and an aluminum-cap crimping assembly. Connecting transport and a finished-vial collection turntable are included.
Siemens PLC and touchscreen controls coordinate the operating sequence. Panasonic photoelectric components and AirTAC pneumatic components support container and closure handling. Servo motors and other electrical components follow the agreed order specification.
The frame is SUS304 stainless steel, with specified SUS316L stainless steel product-contact metal components. Tubing, seals, and other nonmetallic contact parts require separate compatibility selection.
The machine enclosure surrounds the processing area. Operators replenish containers, liquid, stoppers, and caps while the equipment performs the automatic sequence. Filling-outlet selection is matched to the liquid and package without assigning an unverified nozzle-closing mechanism.

Working Principle
The two-head vial liquid filler advances glass vials through a coordinated dosing and closure sequence. Liquid metering is performed by two independent servo-driven magnetic pumps, while separate mechanisms handle containers, rubber stoppers, and caps.
- Manual loading and rotary infeed: Operators place empty vials on the rotary bottle unscrambler. The table organizes containers for transfer into the processing sequence.
- Container presentation: The handling system positions vials at the filling stations so their openings align with the liquid outlets.
- Liquid dosing: Each servo-driven magnetic pump delivers the selected quantity through its product pathway. Pump settings are established and checked using the intended liquid and target dose.
- Rubber stoppering: The automatic feeding arrangement presents stoppers for insertion and pressing into the filled vial openings.
- Cap placing: Aluminum caps or compatible flip-off caps are supplied and positioned over the stoppered vials.
- Crimping: The closing assembly forms the aluminum skirt around the vial neck to retain the closure components.
- Finished collection: Completed containers move through the included discharge transport to the collection turntable.
The PLC coordinates the operating sequence through the touchscreen interface. Operators maintain material supplies and carry out the required production checks. Liquid preparation, package preparation, environmental controls, and finished-product release remain part of the wider manufacturing process.

🔧 Common Problems
Possible operating symptoms include irregular vial movement from the rotary infeed, uneven presentation at the filling outlets, or containers hesitating between stations. Filled quantities may differ between the two heads or vary during a run. Visible bubbles, droplets at the outlets, or wet vial rims may appear during filling. Rubber stoppers may arrive inconsistently, sit at an angle, or remain above the intended seating position. Caps may be absent, tilted, or unevenly positioned before crimping. Finished aluminum skirts may show uneven forming or loose retention. Other symptoms include abnormal operating noise, inconsistent pneumatic movement, interrupted discharge, or accumulation on the collection turntable.
🛠 Troubleshooting
Problem: Filled quantities differ between the two heads. Possible Cause: Different dosing settings, air in one pathway, or unequal supply conditions. Recommended Solution: Check samples from each outlet separately and inspect the product paths before adjusting the dosing setup.Problem: Quantity varies during production. Possible Cause: Changing liquid condition, an interrupted supply, or air entering a connection. Recommended Solution: Review the liquid supply and accessible connections before repeating the agreed quantity test.Problem: Droplets or wet rims appear after filling. Possible Cause: Outlet residue, unsuitable operating settings, or liquid discharge behavior. Recommended Solution: Inspect and clean the filling outlet before reviewing the setup with the actual liquid.Problem: Vials stop out of alignment. Possible Cause: Incorrect guide adjustment, debris, or package dimensions differing from the approved samples. Recommended Solution: Inspect the affected transfer position after safe isolation before adjusting container guides.Problem: Stoppers or caps seat unevenly. Possible Cause: Poor component presentation, mismatched packaging, or an unsuitable station adjustment. Recommended Solution: Inspect the complete vial and closure combination before reviewing insertion or cap-placement settings.Problem: The crimp is uneven or collection becomes congested. Possible Cause: Incorrect cap seating, tooling mismatch, or restricted finished-vial movement. Recommended Solution: Inspect the affected stage and clear the handling restriction under the operating procedure before component replacement.

🔩 Spare Parts
Why Choose This Machine
- Separate dosing adjustment: Independent pump drives allow each filling outlet to be assessed and adjusted individually, helping identify differences that a combined average could conceal.
- Coordinated closure assembly: Filling, rubber stoppering, cap placing, and crimping share one production sequence, reducing manual transfer of open filled vials between separate machines.
- Defined container-handling scope: Rotary infeed, connecting transport, and collection are included, giving the installation a clear starting and finishing point.
- Focused low-viscosity application: The configuration concentrates on compatible liquid formulations, allowing product-path selection and performance assessment to follow the actual filling duty.
- Reduced individual component placement: Automatic stopper and cap feeding shift the operator’s task toward replenishment, supervision, and quality checks.
- Package-specific closing: Aluminum-skirt crimping matches the selected stoppered-vial format rather than combining unrelated closing methods under a general capping description.
- Centralized operation: The PLC and touchscreen bring routine settings and machine operation to one interface, supporting an orderly setup process.
Frequently Asked Questions
