Precision Ampoule Labeling for Ghana’s Injectable Manufacturing Sector
In pharmaceutical and injectable manufacturing, ampoule labeling demands extreme precision, consistency, and regulatory compliance. The Automatic Ampoule Sticker Labeling Machines developed by Technogen Enterprise are engineered to meet the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical production units operating in Ghana.
Designed specifically for ampoules, small vials, and eye/ear drop bottles, these high-speed vertical labeling machines ensure accurate, wrinkle-free, and repeatable label application. With Ghana’s pharmaceutical sector expanding across regions such as Accra, Tema, and emerging healthcare manufacturing clusters, reliable ampoule labeling equipment has become a critical component of compliant production lines.
Vertical Rotary Design for High-Speed, Controlled Labeling
The Automatic Ampoule Sticker Labeling Machine operates on a vertical rotary principle, where ampoules are labeled while maintained in an upright position. Ampoules are loaded manually via stainless steel trays and collected post-labeling in a vertical unloading tray, ensuring gentle handling and reduced breakage.
This configuration is particularly suitable for fragile glass ampoules commonly used in injectable medicines. Depending on the selected model, the machine can achieve output speeds ranging from approximately 200 to 450 ampoules per minute, aligning well with industrial-scale injectable filling and sealing operations in Ghana.
Servo-Driven Accuracy with Intelligent Sensors
At the core of the machine is a servo motor–driven label applicator controlled through a PLC and servo drive. This advanced system ensures highly accurate label dispensing and placement, maintaining labeling accuracy within ±1 mm.
A fork-type sensor detects the gap between consecutive labels, while a fibre optic sensor accurately senses the presence of ampoules. Together, these sensors synchronize label dispensing with container movement, minimizing rejects and ensuring consistent label positioning.
The machine also supports integration of a thermal inkjet printer on the labeling head, enabling online batch coding of batch numbers, manufacturing dates, expiry dates, prices, and regulatory information—essential for pharmaceutical compliance in Ghana.
GMP-Oriented Construction with Stainless Steel Reliability
The machine body, doors, and critical assemblies are fabricated from stainless steel 304, ensuring hygiene, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning. This construction supports CGMP-compliant operations and makes the machine suitable for pharmaceutical cleanroom environments.
A significant operational advantage is the absence of change parts for label size variations and the requirement of minimal change parts when switching between ampoule sizes. This design reduces downtime during batch changeovers and improves overall equipment effectiveness.
Operator-Friendly Control and Maintenance-Free Design
Machine operation is managed through a modern touch-screen Human Machine Interface (HMI), offering intuitive control over speed, label parameters, and diagnostics. Tool-less guide rails allow quick adjustments, simplifying setup and reducing dependency on skilled technicians.
The robust reel mechanism and braking assembly ensure smooth label roll handling, preventing tension fluctuations during dispensing. Combined with the maintenance-free design, these features make the machine suitable for continuous multi-shift operations in Ghanaian pharmaceutical facilities.
