Precision Screw for Ampoule Transport
📌 The screw is used in ampoule infeed and outfeed systems for the following processes:
- filling
- dosing
- capping
- sterilization
- inspection
- labeling
- packaging
The geometry of the helical profile ensures controlled separation of ampoules and maintains a stable distance between containers during transport.
The screw design allows:
- prevention of ampoule collisions
- reduction of vibration loads
- smooth entry and exit of containers from working zones
- synchronization of product flow with line equipment
- increased stability of the transport system
The screw is especially effective when handling small-format glass containers where feeding accuracy and positioning repeatability are critical.
⚙️ Precision CNC Machining
The screws are manufactured on CNC machines with multi-stage control of geometry and helical channel parameters.
The production cycle includes:
- mechanical machining of the blank
- formation of the helical profile
- machining of mounting areas
- transport pitch control
- runout and concentricity inspection
- final surface polishing
Precise machining ensures stable integration of the screw into the transport system without the need for additional equipment modification.
✔️ Materials and Performance Properties
The screws are manufactured from industrial and pharmaceutical-grade engineering polymers:
- POM (Delrin)
- UHMW-PE
- PEEK (optional)
The materials provide:
- high wear resistance
- dimensional stability
- low friction coefficient
- resistance to alcohols and disinfectant solutions
- compatibility with CIP/SIP processes
The polished surface reduces the risk of microdamage to glass ampoules and minimizes contamination buildup.
Ampoule infeed and outfeed screws are manufactured individually according to ampoule format, line parameters, and equipment model.
