COLANAR - Model CSS1041 - Plunger Insertion Machine for Syringes
The CSS1041 Plunger Insertion Machine is engineered to automate the syringe stoppering process, a critical stage in sterile pharmaceutical packaging. Operators manually place syringe stoppers onto a linear vibration track with the product contacting surface positioned upwards. This mechanism uses vibrations to guide stoppers automatically to the transfer station. Syringes are arranged one by one into a clip in the process area. Activation of a two-hand safety trigger initiates the stoppering process, where the transfer tool moves the stopper from the track into the insertion tube. As the insertion tube and rod descend to a predefined position, the stopper is accurately inserted into the syringe, sealing slightly above the fill level upon retraction of the insertion tube. Designed for versatility, the machine accommodates syringes ranging from 0.5 to 10 ml and can process up to 15 units per minute. Constructed from stainless steel and plastics, the machine features a modern design, servo motor drive, PLC controls, and a touch screen HMI, ensuring compliance with pharmaceutical sterilization standards.

The syringe stopper is manually placed into the linear vibration track by the operator with the product contacting surface facing up. The vibration conveys the stoppers automatically to the transfer station. Syringes are manually placed into the clip in the process area one by one. With the initiation of the two-hand safety trigger, the stoppering process is started. The stopper is moved by the transfer tool from the linear track to the insertion tube. Afterwards, the insertion tube and the insertion rod move together to the predefined position. The insertion rod lowers onto the stopper within the insertion tube. With the retraction of the insertion tube, the stopper is released into the syringe where it expands, effectively sealing the syringe slightly above the fill level. The insertion tube and the insertion rod then return to their home position.
