Syringe-filling System


03/01/2000







The Syringe-filling System repackages material from a large cartridge or reservoir to smaller, manageable syringe packages. It is said to be suitable for companies looking to reduce costs by packaging their own material. To transfer material, an operator loads a full cartridge onto the retainer assembly, then secures it using the universal cartridge cap (with a 90° adapter). An empty plastic syringe can then be screwed on tightly, and a piston is moved into position. Using a foot pedal, the operator creates air pressure, which moves the piston forward, forcing material out of the cartridge and into the syringe.
