PURE EXTRACT said:How do they fill the middle of twinkies?
big moose said:I think he means how they get the oil in the little amps. I assume it is some sort of machine that melts the glass around the product.
I think we covered it, no?nikolai_bolkov said:No seriosly, I am kinda curious too.
big moose said:My question is why do they put juice in the amps. They are kind of hard to open. Don't vials make more sense. Does a Dr. or vet open the amps with greater ease than the normal person. I must have wasted 15 amps over the years having them crack on me.
Twitched said:I surely don't know how anyone in mexico figured it out.

xrciseink said:Ok, I spoke to a guy I lived with for 10 years who works at Human Genome Sciences (HGS). He said amps are really cool to watch being filled and than melted. He said the machine has (2) two parts. The first part fills them and the second heats the tops. When the amps first come to the manufacturer the are rectangular with holes in the top. Just big enough for a small 1/2 inch needle to fit in. The machine holds like 100needles that stick out of a rectangular shaped square like thing. He told me the name, but I cant remember what it was called. The top of this squared device has small holes with metal washers where the tubes running from the lab equipment are attatched to that contain the drug that will be put into each glass amp. Basically they load the squared amps on a special tray that will align perfectly with the devices. As the tray passes under the first device, the square drops down and fills up each ampule simulataniously. From there it lifts and passes them to the device that melts the top of the amps. Again, a similar squared device with 100 holes drops onto the amp at a precise measurement. Each one of these holes have some type of heating mechanism in them so that when the square drops down it squeezes the amp simultaniously sealing the small hole and giving it that hour glass like indentation at the top. It is important that the second device only drops down at a precise pre-programmed measurement. Reason for this is that if it melts it too low, it will contaminate the drug. Once it seals it, it passes it along to be packaged, etc... One big assembly line......and thats how an amp is made and ends up dented at the top.
