MTMB24 Monoblock Filler for Vials, Bottles, Cups & Tubes
A compact rotary vial filling machine that also runs as a bottle, cup, or tube filler. MTMB24 handles liquid or dry products and is configured for cups, tubes, vials, or small bottles, with the closing step — sealing, cap torquing, tip insertion, or tube crimping — matched to your container.
- Manual or automatic container loading
- Liquid or dry-product filling
- Application-specific sealing, cap torquing, tip insertion, or tube crimping
- Printing and optional labeling
MTMB24 specifications

MTMB60 Multi-Station Cup Filling and Sealing Monoblock
A multi-station rotary cup filling and sealing machine, also configured for other rigid containers. MTMB60 brings container loading, filling, lid placement, sealing, and discharge into a configured production system. Review the required stations and container format with Mactec.
- A listed four-cup-per-index configuration
- Liquid or dry-product filling
- Application-specific filter handling, coding, and inspection options
- Discharge arrangements matched to the downstream process
Finished output depends on the product, fill, and selected configuration—not the index rate alone.

Single-Cup Pod Sealer
Single-cup packaging for coffee and tea. This system is designed for compatible cup-and-filter applications. Mactec will review your cup, filter, lidding material, and product to define the filling and sealing configuration.
What is a monoblock filling machine?
A monoblock filling machine fills and closes containers on one compact machine, instead of a separate filler and capper. Vials, bottles, cups or tubes are loaded by hand or automatically and move around a rotary table. One station fills a liquid or dry product, and the next caps, seals, inserts a tip or crimps the container. You’ll also see it called a monobloc filler or a filler capper, and printing, labeling and vision inspection can be added as extra stations. Mactec’s MTMB24 handles vials, bottles, cups and tubes, and the MTMB60 is a multi-station machine for cup filling and sealing and other rigid containers.
How much does a monoblock filling machine cost?
Most Mactec monoblock filling machine quotes fall in these ranges: the MTMB24 about $150,000 to $420,000, and the MTMB60 about $415,000 to $535,000. Your price depends on the product, feeding, tooling, printing, inspection and validation package, and our budgetary proposals separate the base machine from each option.

Small-batch vial, tube and cup filling
For 503B outsourcing facilities, labs and manufacturers filling small batches rather than running a production line: the MTMB24 fills and closes vials, small bottles, tubes and cups on a 914 mm square frame at 110 VAC at 10 amps, loads by hand or automatically, and closes with cup sealing, cap torquing, tip insertion or tube crimping. The MTMB60 runs four cups per index on a 72-inch square frame at 220 VAC at 40 amps, with lid placement and sealing. Both offer high-precision indexing, ±0.003 inch.
Each comes with final layout, electrical and pneumatic drawings, an instruction manual with spare-parts list and factory acceptance testing in Sayreville. Send the container and closure with your inquiry; the vial, bottle, cup and tube filling page shows the two machines side by side, and unit dose packaging machines for pharmacies covers pharmacy work.

How the machines compare
Made-in-USA monoblock fillers: vial filling and capping, bottle filling and capping, cup filling and sealing, or tube crimping on one compact rotary platform.
Compare the published specifications
Monoblock filling and capping machines made in the USA
Mactec builds its monoblock filling machines at its Sayreville, New Jersey headquarters: the MTMB24 monoblock filler, a compact rotary machine for small rigid containers, including vials, bottles, cups or tubes, with liquid or dry products and an application-specific closing station; the MTMB60 multi-station rotary filling and sealing monoblock for rigid-container and cup applications; and the Single-Cup Pod Sealer for compatible coffee and tea cup formats.
In each of these monoblock filling systems, one compact rotary platform carries the filling and closing stations — vial filling and capping, bottle filling and capping, cup filling and sealing or tube crimping — with factory acceptance testing you can witness, IQ/OQ protocol support and spare parts stocked at the New Jersey headquarters.
Compare monoblock filling and capping machines
Match the product, container and closure before comparing output. Vial filling and capping, bottle capping, cup sealing and tube crimping are different station sets on the same rotary platform; confirm which your configuration includes. A monoblock capping machine, or filler capper, is the same rotary platform set up for capping: on the MTMB24, the closing station can torque caps onto bottles and vials.

How a monoblock filling machine works
A monoblock filling system, sometimes written monobloc filler, combines multiple packaging processes in one machine: it brings the filling and closing stations together on one compact rotary platform, for a wide range of small rigid containers.
Containers are loaded by hand or automatically, indexed around the rotary table, filled with a liquid or dry product, then closed at the next station: a sealed lid for cups, a torqued cap for bottles and vials, an inserted tip, or a crimp for tubes. So, depending on its stations, the same rotary filling machine can be a vial or bottle filling and capping machine, a cup filling and sealing machine or a tube filling and crimping machine.
Printing, labeling, presence sensors, vision inspection and a discharge conveyor can be added as further stations.
The MTMB24 indexes containers on an 813 mm turret inside a fully interlocked safety enclosure at a listed 10–15 cycles per minute, depending on product size and fill; the MTMB60 uses a 1524 mm rotary fill table set up for four cups per index at a listed 15–25 cycles per minute. Finished output depends on the product, the fill and the stations in your configuration, not on the index rate alone. See choosing monoblock filling and capping equipment.

What determines the cost of a monoblock filling machine?
The platform is the starting point; the stations and tooling your containers need set most of the price. The main variables are how containers are loaded (by hand or automatically), the filling method for your product (liquid or dry), the closing operation (sealing, cap torquing, tip insertion or tube crimping), tooling and change parts for each container format you plan to run, printing and labeling, inspection options, and the validation documentation your quality team expects. Our budgetary proposals separate the base machine from each option, so you can see what every choice adds. Read what drives packaging machine cost.
