In 1970, SFAM patented its invention to protect the automatic filling of ampoules by vacuum. This process gave the double-tip ampoule a major competitive advantage since now, up to 500 ampoules can be filled simultaneously.
The “double-tip” ampoule is the only ampoule shape that lends itself to a vacuum-filling process of this nature. This type of glass containers also allows sterilization after filling and sealing.
SFAM went on to file other patents to improve the manufacturing and filling of double-tip glass ampoules:
- 1981 2 patents on plastic boxes used for vacuum filling
- 1983 1 patent on burners used for the thermo-mechanical treatment of glass canes
- 1983 1 patent on a system to load industrial carousels
Elegant, healthy, eco-responsible and cost-effective, the double-tip glass ampoule is more than ever in tune with the increasingly high expectations of consumers.
Created from Type I or Type III glass, in accordance with the European Pharmacopoeia, our ampoules offer optimal protection and excellent stability for all sensitive active products.
Customise your ampoules
- Our silk-screening process only uses colours without heavy metals that are resistant to chemicals and solutions.
- Our ampoules are available in clear, yellow or amber glass, from 1ml to 20ml.
Easy break
The Double Ring Break (DRB) process pre-determines the breaking point and considerably facilitates opening.
The double-tip crushable ampoule
Convinced of the double-tip ampoule advantages, we developed a crushable version in order to widen the spectrum of its applications. When integrated into a device such as a tube, a pen or an applicator, our crushable ampoules have potential in a myriad of fields, from medical applications to industrial use, in the following sectors:
Medical & dental
Veterinarian
Cosmetics
An optimal filling process and a very competitive cost The double-tip ampoule, perfectly hermetic, guarantees a very competitive filling cost thanks to a vacuum suction process, invented by SFAM, allowing up to 500 ampoules to be filled simultaneously.
