The secondary packaging of parenteral products in glass containers poses major challenges for you as a pharmaceutical company, CMO/CDMO or packaging service provider:
Liquid pharmaceutical products such as biopharmaceuticals are usually high-priced – the loss of individual doses due to glass breakage needs to be avoided
Glass breakages significantly affect productivity because the packaging line has to be shut down and cleaned
Glass breakages are often the result of glass-to-glass contact, rapid transport movements and drop heights
Weaknesses in the primary packaging such as microcracks can also trigger glass breakages
This means that the LiPro feeder is designed for the particularly gentle handling of parenteral products.
This is how the LiPro feeder works
LiPro stands for "Liquid Product", i.e. for parenteral products such as ampoules, vials, cartridges and vials. The servo-controlled system gently feeds ampoules, vials, cartridges and bottles
First, the standing products are transported to the pickup position via a vibratory plate. A rake directs the products into a lane. From there, they enter the grooves of the separating roller. The servo-controlled roller rotates 90 degrees and brings the containers into a horizontal pick-up position. They are picked up by the robot system with vacuum grippers and placed in a blister or a cardboard tray. In the case of clamp packs, the press-in station gently fixes the products in the pack.
