Expertise

Filling Lines

Deep specialization in sterile filling lines —From containers washing and depyrogenation filling, stoppering, crimping, and inspection. Decades of hands-on experience with every major filling technology and vendor in the global market.

Complete Line Configuration

End-to-end filling line expertise from container entry to finished product exit

1

Washing Machine

Container cleaning — WFI final rinse, validated cleaning cycles.

2

Depyrogenation Tunnel

Dry heat depyrogenation at ≥250°C. Continuous operation, validated FH values, temperature uniformity mapping.

3

Filling Machine

Multiple filling technologies — piston, peristaltic pump, rotary piston, time-pressure. Dosing accuracy, CIP/SIP capability.

4

Stoppering & Crimping

Stopper placement, aluminum cap crimping, seal integrity verification, sealing force verification. Critical for container closure integrity (CCI).

5

Visual Inspection

Automatic and semi-automatic inspection for particles, cosmetic defects, fill volume, and cap integrity. Optional integration of a lyophilization process within the filling line.

Container Types

Vials

liquid & lyo

Syringes

Ampoules

Cartridges

Pen delivery systems

Ready-to-Fill (RTF) Systems

Expertise in pre‑sterilized containers supplied in nest/tub configurations, eliminating the need for washing and depyrogenation steps. Capabilities include integration of Ready‑to‑Fill (RTF) systems with both existing and new filling lines, including adaptation of feed mechanisms and alignment with environmental monitoring requirements. Services also cover evaluation of RTF versus bulk container strategies, considering operational efficiency, contamination‑control needs, and overall cost‑effectiveness.

Automatic Visual Inspection

Expertise in automatic visual inspection systems — from purchasing and vendor evaluation through installation, testing, validation support, and transfer to routine production use.
