The Groninger DFVN 1000 LF is a used beverage machine — specifically a filling and stoppering machine designed for pre-sterilised disposable syringes, cartridges, and PFS (pre-filled syringe) components presented in nest format. Groninger is a well-established German manufacturer of filling, closing, and packaging machinery, serving the pharmaceutical, biotech, and cosmetics industries with highly engineered systems built to cleanroom and aseptic standards.
This particular model sits at the entry level of the DFVN 1000 series, which represents Groninger's smallest filling and stoppering platform. It is intended for laboratory environments, validation runs, and small-batch production rather than high-volume continuous output, yet the manufacturer specifies that its processes are functionally identical to those of a high-output system — making it a practical tool for scale-up development and technology transfer work.
The machine supports a maximum output of 4,800 units per hour and handles a filling volume range of 0.5 to 50 ml. Nest formats accommodated include 20, 30, 42, 64, 100, and 160-count configurations, giving the operator flexibility across a broad range of standard packaging footprints. Four filling system technologies are available — rotary piston pump, peristaltic pump, time-pressure filling, or a combination of these — allowing the process to be matched to the specific product and accuracy requirements of each batch.
Operation is semi-automated. Nest handling is performed manually under laminar flow, and the machine incorporates a clear physical separation between the manual handling zone and the fully automatic production section. This layout maintains process integrity while keeping the footprint compact: the unit measures 1,500 × 1,135 × 2,000 mm.
Built in 2009 and located in Italy, the machine is offered in used but reportedly never-used condition, and is available as a single unit.
