Mactec Packaging Equipment
Choosing Monoblock Filling and Capping Equipment
A monoblock filling system brings selected operations together on one platform. Choose it by mapping the path from empty container to finished package, then matching the filling and closing tasks to your product.

Map the required operations
List container loading, filling, closure placement, closing, inspection and discharge. Mark which steps remain manual and which the proposed equipment must perform. The word monoblock, or monobloc, does not mean every operation is included.
| Part of the process | Information to bring | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Container | Actual containers and format variations | Loading, support, indexing and change parts |
| Product | Samples, fill amount and behavior | Dosing method, contact components and cleaning |
| Closure | Caps, lids, tips or other closures | Placement and the required closing operation |
| Finished package | Acceptance criteria and output goal | Inspection, operator work and test conditions |
Do not treat closing methods as interchangeable
Sealing a cup, torquing a cap, inserting a tip and crimping a tube are different operations. Supply the actual container and closure so the required result can be defined. Include every intended format; one configuration should not be assumed to handle every listed container.
Compare finished output under stated conditions
Index cycles, containers per index and finished containers are different quantities. Filling time, operator loading and inspection can affect the result. Ask for an application-specific discussion of acceptable finished output, keeping assumptions visible when comparing proposals.
Review the Mactec platforms
- MTMB-24: compact rotary filling with application-specific closing options for small rigid containers.
- MTMB-60: multi-station rotary filling and sealing requirements.
- Single-Cup Sealer: compatible coffee and tea cups, evaluated separately from general vial or bottle applications.
Start with the family comparison and the vial, bottle, cup and tube application page. Each model page keeps available specifications public.
Plan for different products and containers
List the formats you expect to change, how frequently they change and the cleaning requirements between products. Ask the proposal to identify tooling, contact parts and selected options. See the contract-packaging and CDMO guidance for multi-product selection.
State any process-environment or documentation requirements separately. Neither the platform name nor a pharmaceutical application establishes sterile, aseptic or regulatory suitability.
