1. Infeed of Filled Vials

Filled and partially stoppered vials are received from the vial filling machine through an automatic conveyor system.
The machine synchronizes vial movement for continuous and smooth transfer.

2. Vial Accumulation & Row Formation

Vials are accumulated and arranged into rows or predefined patterns using guiding and indexing mechanisms. Sensors monitor:

• Vial presence
• Alignment accuracy
• Conveyor movement

3. Automatic Vial Transfer

The automatic loading mechanism transfers grouped vials from the conveyor to the loading platform using:

• Push-pull system
• Servo-driven transfer system
• Mechanical handling arrangement

4. Lyophilizer Shelf Loading

The machine automatically loads vials onto the lyophilizer shelves in an organized manner. Key Functions:

• Uniform vial spacing
• Controlled loading movement
• Smooth and stable transfer
• Minimal vial disturbance

5. Freeze Drying Process

After loading completion:

• The lyophilizer door closes
• The freeze-drying cycle beginsThe loading system remains integrated with the lyophilizer controls for synchronized operation.

6. Automatic Vial Unloading

Once the lyophilization process is completed:

• The lyophilizer door opens automatically
• The unloading system removes vials from the shelves The machine transfers vials safely back onto the discharge conveyor.

7. Transfer to Downstream Equipment

The unloaded vials are automatically conveyed for:

• Stoppering
• Capping
• Inspection
• Labeling
• Secondary packaging
