System and apparatus for filling and capping a vial

A guidance apparatus for filling a plurality of vials with a substance, the guidance apparatus comprising:

• a guide member having a T-shaped track mounted there on and forming two opposingly spaced grooves;
• and
• an traverse carriage having a T-shaped channel formed therein, the T-shaped channel being defined by two opposingly spaced flanges for slidably engaging the two opposingly spaced grooves and for slidably moving the traverse carriage to set points along the guide member, and two opposingly spaced and offset apertures for receiving the substance therethrough, the two opposingly spaced and offset apertures each being in axial alignment with one of the plurality of vials at the set points as the traverse carriage is slid along the guide member for filling two of the plurality of vials at each of the set points with the substance.

A system for securely mounting a plurality of caps on, and filling with a substance, a plurality of vials, the system comprising:

• a guidance apparatus having a guide member with a T-shaped track mounted thereon and forming two opposingly spaced grooves, and an traverse carriage having a T-shaped channel formed therein, the T-shaped channel being defined by two opposingly spaced flanges for slidably engaging the two opposingly spaced grooves and for slidably moving the traverse carriage to set points along the guide member, the traverse carriage further including two opposingly spaced and offset apertures for receiving the substance therethrough, the two opposingly spaced and offset apertures each being in axial alignment with one of the plurality of vials at the set points as the traverse carriage is slid along the guide member for filing two of the plurality of vials at each of the set points with the substance;
• and
• a capping apparatus having two opposingly spaced side walls, a track mounted between the base and side walls for slidably receiving the plurality of vials, and a wheel rotationally mounted between the two side walls for simultaneously sliding the plurality of vials along the track and securely mounting the plurality of caps on the plurality of vials when the wheel is rotated and contacts at least one of the plurality of caps.
