Product Image
Product Overview	The Semi-Automatic Semen Straw Filling and Sealing Machine is designed for efficient and hygienic preparation of semen doses in professional artificial insemination laboratories, genetics centers, breeding stations, and livestock reproduction projects. The system combines vacuum-assisted filling with mechanical sealing using metal or glass sealing balls. Multiple straws are processed simultaneously, helping laboratories improve production efficiency while maintaining a standardized filling and sealing workflow. Versions are available for commonly used 0.25 ml and 0.5 ml semen straws, making the equipment suitable for different livestock breeding programs and laboratory requirements.
Key Features	Semi-automatic filling and sealing system for professional semen laboratories. Processes six semen straws per operating cycle. Vacuum-assisted filling supports consistent straw preparation. Sealing is performed using metal or glass sealing balls. Compatible configurations are available for 0.25 ml and 0.5 ml semen straws. An approximately 1 cm air bubble is automatically formed in each straw during processing. Separate filling and suction heads with six nozzles support organized laboratory operation. Designed for hygienic semen processing and repeatable commercial production. Consumables and spare parts are available for routine operation and maintenance.
Structural Components	The standard equipment configuration includes a filling head with six nozzles, suction head with six nozzles, straw magazine, vacuum bottle, tubing system, operating platform, and sealing mechanism. A compatible loading cartridge and vacuum pump are required for operation. Depending on the selected straw format, the machine can be supplied with suitable loading devices, sealing balls, silicone tubing, washers, semen cones, and related laboratory accessories.
Working Principle / Structural Principle	Prepared semen is transferred to the filling system and drawn into the straws by vacuum. Six straws can be filled simultaneously through the filling and suction head arrangement. After filling, each straw is sealed by pressing a metal or glass sealing ball into the open straw end. The system automatically creates an air bubble of approximately 1 cm inside each straw as part of the filling process. This semi-automatic operating principle combines manual loading and handling with controlled vacuum filling and mechanical sealing, making it suitable for laboratories that require higher productivity without installing a fully automatic production line.

Customization Options	SHEWUYOU can provide semen filling and sealing configurations according to different laboratory workflows and breeding project requirements. Available options can include 0.25 ml or 0.5 ml straw configurations, compatible loading cartridges, vacuum pumps, semen cones, filling heads, suction heads, tubing, sealing balls, spare parts, and consumable packages. Electrical configuration, laboratory accessories, spare-part quantities, and supporting semen processing equipment are available according to project requirements.
Installation & Maintenance	Install the machine on a stable and clean laboratory workbench with sufficient operating space for straw loading, semen handling, and finished product collection. Connect the compatible vacuum pump and inspect all tubing, filling nozzles, suction nozzles, washers, and vacuum connections before operation. Components that contact semen should be handled according to the laboratory's hygiene and biosecurity procedures. After production, clean reusable components thoroughly and inspect nozzles, silicone tubing, seals, and moving parts regularly. Worn consumables should be replaced when necessary to maintain consistent filling performance.
Project Cases	The Semi-Automatic Semen Straw Filling and Sealing Machine can be integrated into complete livestock semen processing laboratories and artificial insemination projects. A typical project may combine semen collection equipment, semen evaluation systems, microscopes, photometers or CASA systems, semen extender preparation equipment, filling and sealing machines, straw printers, controlled freezing equipment, liquid nitrogen storage systems, and insemination accessories. System configuration can be planned according to laboratory production capacity, target species, straw format, processing workflow, and project purchasing requirements.
