Pharmaceutical automation

Pharma machines have to dose accurately, run clean and repeat the same cycle, batch after batch.

RB Automation supplies the automation products that pharma machine builders and plant maintenance teams use to do this: PLCs and HMIs for control, servo and stepper systems for filling and labeling axes, AC drives for conveyors and turntables, sensors for container and label detection, and pressure and temperature transmitters for sealing machines and sterilizers.

The products below are grouped by type, and each group lists the pharma machines it is used in: rotary and linear liquid filling, powder filling, sticker labeling, bottle sealing, capping, vial inspection, vision-based sorting, autoclave and ETO sterilizers. We also build the PLC control panels that tie these products together.

Automation Products Used in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Grouped by product type. Each group lists the pharma machines it is used in. Open any product for full specifications, or send your requirement for a quote.

Flow Meters for Pharmaceutical Machines

Electromagnetic and oval gear flow meters measure each dose on liquid filling machines, and a batch controller stops the fill at the set volume.

Pharmaceutical Machines We Supply Automation For

The automation products each machine uses. Open any product to see the full range.

01

Rotary Liquid Filling Machine

Fills bottles and vials on a rotating turret. Servo or stepper axes drive the dosing pumps, a flow sensor measures each fill, and sensors confirm a container is in place before the nozzle opens.

Products used
02

Linear Liquid Filling Machine

Fills a row of containers under a line of nozzles. The PLC indexes the conveyor while servo or stepper axes move the nozzles and pumps.

Products used
03

Powder Filling Machine

Doses powder into vials and containers with an auger. A servo motor turns the auger by a set angle for each dose.

Products used
04

Sticker Labeling Machine

Applies self-adhesive labels to bottles and cartons. A label gap sensor stops each label, and a servo or stepper motor feeds the label web in step with the conveyor.

Products used
05

Bottle Sealing Machine

Seals bottle necks with heat. A temperature sensor holds the sealing temperature while an AC drive runs the conveyor.

Products used
06

Capping Machine

Places and tightens caps on filled bottles. An AC drive sets the conveyor and chuck speed, and the PLC runs the capping sequence.

Products used
07

Vial Inspection Machine

Checks filled vials for particles, fill level and defects. Photoelectric and fiber optic sensors trigger each inspection station and the reject gate.

Products used
08

Vision Based Sorting Machine

Sorts tablets, capsules and packs with a camera system. Sensors trigger the camera and the reject gates while the PLC tracks each item on the conveyor.

Products used
09

Autoclave Sterilizer

Sterilizes equipment and containers with pressurised steam. The PLC and HMI run the sterilization cycle, and sensors confirm the door and load positions.

Products used
10

ETO Sterilizer

Sterilizes heat-sensitive products with ethylene oxide gas under vacuum. Pressure and temperature transmitters track the chamber, and SCADA records each cycle.

FAQs

Pharmaceutical Automation: FAQs

Most pharma machines use a PLC and HMI for control, servo or stepper systems for filling and labeling axes, AC drives for conveyors and turntables, and sensors for container and label detection. Sealing machines and sterilizers add temperature and pressure transmitters, and ETO sterilizers often add SCADA for cycle records. RB Automation supplies all of these.

Use a servo system when fill speed, dose accuracy or container output matter most. A closed-loop stepper system is a lower-cost choice for slower machines that index a fixed distance. Share your container size, fill volume and output per minute and we will recommend a match.

Yes. We supply RB XSENSE and Baumer hygienic pressure transmitters, smart pressure transmitters and the RB430 low pressure vacuum transmitter, which suits sterilizer chambers that run under vacuum.

A label gap sensor detects the gap between labels on the liner, so each label stops in the right place. Photoelectric and fiber optic sensors detect the bottle or vial before the label is applied.

Yes. We design and build PLC control panels with the HMI, drives and wiring for pharma machines. If you build panels in-house, we supply the products separately.

Yes. We are based in Ahmedabad and supply machine builders and pharmaceutical plants across Gujarat and India. Call +91 8511104864 or send your requirement and we call back during business hours.

There is no single price for pharmaceutical industry automation products. The cost depends on which PLC, HMI, servo or stepper system, AC drive, sensor and transmitter your machine needs, on the ratings and communication protocol you select, and on the order quantity, so RB Automation quotes every requirement individually. Send your machine details or bill of material through the inquiry form on this page, call +91 8511104864 or email contact@rbautomate.com to get a current quotation.

RB Automation supplies pharmaceutical industry automation products from Ahmedabad to machine builders, OEMs and plants across Gujarat and India. As an authorised Schneider Electric partner and an authorised technical partner of Rtelligent, we supply the PLC, HMI, AC drives, servo and stepper systems, sensors and transmitters for one machine from a single source, so you do not have to buy each part from a different dealer.
