Pharmaceutical Filling Solutions

Pharmaceutical industry is growing at a rapid rate with frequent new research and developments. It is considered as one of the prime industries for any developed or developing country that fulfils the basic and advanced health and medication services. Latest development and research work in medical science have generated the needs of advanced machinery for bulk drug production, processing and packaging.

Pharmaceutical products, because of their ingredients and their use, can require some special precautions during the packaging process. Many of these precautions will revolve around filling the product, as the liquid filler is the one machine that will necessarily move and contact the product. But other areas of the packaging system will likely see changes or modifications as well, mostly to keep the product free of contamination.

Pharmaceutical filling machines expedite the modern pharmaceutical manufacturing process. Syringe filling equipment is used for large scale filling and ensures sterility and dispensing of correct volume. Vial filling equipment can fill hundreds of vials per minute while securing against product loss and inconsistent volume. Pharmaceutical checkweighers are used to sort out broken or otherwise-flawed tablets, and they ensure that the final product meets quality standards before packaging. A variety of pharmaceutical filling equipment streamlines the pharmaceutical manufacturing process.

While this discussion does include filling machines used in the pharmaceutical industry there are oftentimes much more rigorous application requirements for pharmaceutical filling than in the nutraceutical, biomedical, and diagnostic specialty chemicals industries. Many pharmaceutical applications require complete, regulatory, validated control over all elements of the packaging process including not only the filling aspect but also container closing and handling. To accomplish this requires something much more than a simple, standalone filling machine; a multifunction machine described as a “monoblock” can perform all required functions. Otherwise, where the containers are more easily handled , a more simple standalone peristaltic filling machine can handle most applications in the biomedical, diagnostics, nutraceutical industries with some crossover into the pharmaceutical industry. In most cases, the liquid delivery systems used on these products are peristaltic pump or small pistons or micro positive displacement pumps. In all cases, they are digitally encoded servo drives to enhance accuracy and documentation of the system.

Product Examples

Customized liquid filling equipment that specifically fits your application, VKPAK’s liquid packaging systems perform a wide range of tasks such as sorting, feeding, filling, plugging, stoppering, crimping, capping, induction sealing, labeling and accumulating. An overlapping focus on functionality and flexibility within a compact footprint allows VKPAK to fill a wide variety of containers: microtubes, cryovials, glass vials as well as plastic containers. Optional HEPA filtration systems can also be incorporated into our more automated, integrated systems providing a positive pressure airflow within your machine’s environment.

At VKPAK, we simply don’t design and build machines; we create the kind of wonder that has revolutionized the liquid packaging industry and help propel businesses into tomorrow. Whether you require a single, semi-automatic filling machine, an intermediate automatic complete fillng line, or a fully-automated, integrated liquid filling system, VKPAK has the experience and industry knowledge to exceed your expectations.

VKPAK is proud to offer liquid packaging machinery for a variety of different industries, including pharmaceuticals. When you need to purchase equipment for your packaging line, it’s important to choose machinery that is built to stand up to the chemicals you’ll be using with it, as well as machinery that is designed to last for a long time. VKPAK is proud to offer machinery that meets both of those criteria.

Choosing The Appropriate Packaging Equipment From VKPAK

The viscosity, acidity, foaming properties and more of pharmaceutical products vary greatly. VKPAK designs custom filling systems for pharmaceutical products of all kinds, ensuring that the bottling equipment you use in your production line is highly compatible with the chemicals you process.

Our machinery can be manufactured to suit these needs, including being resistant to corrosion. Corrosion resistant equipment can be constructed from materials such as HDPE (high density polyethylene), UHMW, or PVC, and they are simple to clean to maintain efficiency. VKPAK offers a wide range of different equipment, so whether you need just one machine as a replacement or addition, or you’re building a packaging line from scratch, you’ll find what you need here.

Available Equipment For Liquid Filling Lines

We’re proud at VKPAK to be able to serve all aspects of packaging lines, from start to finish. When you peruse our inventory you’ll find everything from bottle cleaners to ensure that the containers are free of debris before being filled with product, to labeling machines that affix product labels to your containers. We also offer conveyors to bring the containers to each station, and a host of different liquid-filling machines, including:

Why Choose VKPAK Filling Equipment?

Without the right bottling systems, your pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products can be compromised during production. Corrosion, clogs, foaming, residue and more can all make it difficult to maintain sanitation standards, as well as to keep your line functioning efficiently. Our filling equipment is designed around the types of chemicals on the assembly line, so you know that the products you’re filling and bottling will not be negatively affected by your machines—or vice versa.
