Product Description
Automatic Bottle Cotton Inserter
This machine provides vital protection for solid dosages (tablets, capsules, and softgels) during transit, preventing product breakage and rattling. Built in strict compliance with cGMP standards, it offers exceptional reliability, high accuracy, and gentle handling to eliminate bottle jams.
Working Principle
The machine automatically feeds, pulls, and plugs cotton like a feeding tube, turns it to the bottle mouth, and inserts it into the bottle. The equipment automatically positions and fixes bottles. When the bottle positioning time meets the parameters set by PLC programming, the pneumatic system automatically changes bottles. Fully automatic operation can be achieved with multiple packing cycles per bottle.
Key Features
- Strong compatibility - Suitable for round, flat, square, and flat bottles of various specifications and materials

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What raw materials (coils) can be used with this machine?
A: Our machine is highly versatile and compatible with standard pharmaceutical-grade cotton, rayon, and synthetic polyester coils. You can easily switch between these materials based on your packaging requirements.
Q2: How does the machine measure and cut the cotton coil to ensure consistency?
A: The machine utilizes a precision motor-driven feeding roller system combined with a heavy-duty rotary shearing blade. The HMI touchscreen allows you to set the exact length of the cotton piece, ranging from 50 mm to 150 mm. The feeding rollers pull the exact length required, and the blade performs a clean cut before insertion, ensuring uniform density and length for every bottle.
Q3: What happens if a bottle is missing or tipped over on the conveyor?
A: The machine features a "No Bottle, No Insert" safety sensor. If a bottle is missing from the queue, the machine will not feed or cut any cotton, preventing material waste. If a bottle tips over or causes a jam down the line, downstream backup sensors will instantly trigger a pause and alert the operator via the touchscreen.
Q4: How does the machine insert the cotton without damaging the tablets or capsules inside?
A: The insertion process is designed to be gentle and precise. A pneumatic or servo-driven inserter tube/tucker pushes the folded cotton piece smoothly into the bottle neck. The stroke depth of the inserting head is fully adjustable, allowing the cotton to rest lightly on top of the product, creating a secure buffer without applying damaging downward pressure.
Q5: Is it difficult to change the settings for different bottle sizes?
A: Not at all. The machine is designed with tool-less changeovers. Bottle height is adjusted quickly using a handwheel with digital position indicator. Bottle diameter/width is adjusted via tool-less guide rail locks. Guide tubes can be swapped out in minutes to match different bottle neck diameters. A complete changeover typically takes less than 15 minutes.
Q6: Does this machine require a dedicated operator?
A: No, once set up, the machine operates fully automatically as part of your packaging line. The operator only needs to load a new roll of cotton coil when the "Empty Coil" alarm is triggered on the HMI.
Q7: What is the maximum speed of the machine, and can it keep up with high-speed counting lines?
A: Our standard single-head cotton inserter can comfortably handle up to 40 to 70 bottles per minute depending on the insertion length and bottle size.
