OC Ampoule Opener & Sealer

Professional-quality ampoule opening and sealing, delivering automatic machine performance in a compact, efficient benchtop unit.

Product details

  • High-Speed Benchtop Performance
    The OC Ampoule Opener & Sealer delivers high-efficiency ampoule processing, sealing up to 600 ampoules per hour. This makes it ideal for laboratories, pilot plants and small-scale pharmaceutical production environments where speed and consistency are essential.
  • Precision Opening & Sealing
    Designed for both opening and sealing ISO ampoules, the OC provides professional-quality results comparable to much larger automatic machines. Tool-free adjustment allows quick setup across supported ampoule size ranges, supporting efficient changeovers and repeatable performance.
  • Optimised for Closed-Type Ampoules
    The system is particularly suited to closed-type ampoules, allowing them to be opened and sealed without the need for washing. This simplifies workflows, reduces handling steps and improves overall process efficiency.
  • Versatile Ampoule Handling
    In addition to closed-type ampoules, the OC can also process open-type ampoules after washing, offering flexibility for a wider range of applications and product requirements.
  • Safe, Operator-Focused Design
    The unit is fitted with flashback arresters on both fuel gas and oxygen inlet connections to ensure safe operation. Designed with operator protection in mind, it supports reliable use in laboratory and production settings.
  • Flexible Utilities for Global Use
    The OC operates using a bottled fuel gas supplied at 0.5 bar such as propane or butane, with the option to run on natural gas via mains supply when fitted with the appropriate flashback arrestors. Machine also needs a supply of bottled oxygen supplied at 1 bar. Multiple electrical supply options are available to support global installations.
