Discharge starwheel for ampoules made of wear-resistant polymer for pharmaceutical lines
This outfeed starwheel is a crucial transport component in filling, washing, drying, or packaging lines. It ensures safe positioning and smooth transfer of ampoules, preventing breakage, chipping, or contamination.
Manufactured from high-grade engineering plastics such as POM-C, PET, or UHMW-PE, the part is suitable for pharmaceutical environments and resistant to chemicals, steam, and mechanical stress.
Each slot is precisely engineered to match the shape and diameter of the ampoules, ensuring secure and stable transfer between processing stations. The starwheel is custom-built to suit ampoule type, machine format, and shaft diameter.
