The Allegro single-use filling needle offers a cost-effective, unique direct replacement alternative to the stainless steel filling needles that are currently used for aseptic filling of liquids. This versatile needle is easily integrated into new or existing single-use filling lines, where the fluid path is either autoclaved or gamma irradiated. Complete single-use assemblies incorporating the needles simplify filling machine operation, reduce assembly time and needle installation risks.

The Allegro single-use plastic filling needle consists of a Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) shaft reinforced with non-fluid contact stainless steel and a polypropylene hub. The needle comes in 6 different sizes - 0.8, 1.6 and 3.2 mm with female luer connection, and 3.2, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 mm with a direct tube connection. For use in a disposable sterile filling system, it can be either autoclaved or gamma irradiated.
