ZONESUN ZS-AFC18 Automatic Dual-Station Vial Filling and Crimp Capping Production Line

ZONESUN ZS-AFC18 Automatic Dual-Station Vial Filling and Crimp Capping Production Line

Description

The ZONESUN ZS-AFC18 is an automatic dual-station filling and capping line designed for vials and other small-dose liquid containers. Operating at 60–70 bottles/min, it integrates vial unscrambling, conveying, 4-head magnetic pump filling, cap placement, and capping into one continuous process. Star-wheel positioning ensures stable container handling through each station, while the magnetic pump system provides accurate and consistent filling for oral liquids, essential oils, injectable liquids, and other compatible products.
