Packaging solutions provider Syntegon has launched its latest MLD Advanced filling machine, tailored for ready-to-use (RTU) nested syringes.<\/p>\n
This new offering is designed to meet the escalating demands of pharmaceutical manufacturers for high output coupled with 100% in-process control (IPC), ensuring precise filling. The combination of established technologies enables quick availability and reduced risk.<\/p>\n
The MLD Advanced machine can gently process up to 400 syringes per minute. It incorporates automatic bag and tub openers, utilising no-touch transfer to maintain the aseptic integrity of syringes as they move into the filling zone.<\/p>\n
Syntegon product manager Markus Burkert said: \u201cEspecially with high-value medicines, it is essential that each drop is filled and weighed optimally.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why we have combined the MLD platform, which was previously used primarily for cartridges and vials, with our technologies for syringe filling.\u201d<\/p>\n
Syntegon\u2019s Pharma Handling Unit facilitates the automatic denesting of syringes without glass-to-glass contact, positioning them into the pitch adjustment station. Here, the syringes are aligned with the machine\u2019s pitch before being secured in the transport clips.<\/p>\n
Burkert added: \u201cThis unique clip system is the first key feature we adopted for syringe applications from the cartridge line.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe special circulating transport system ensures smooth transportation and is therefore ideal for RTU syringes, as well as vials and cartridges.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prior to filling, each empty syringe undergoes a weighing process, utilising 100% IPC. The filling and stoppering sequence follows the established FXS series\u2019 protocols, with the filling needles affixed to the Pharma Handling Unit, allowing for adaptable redosing when necessary.<\/p>\n
The company said the IPC system guarantees the accuracy of the filling weight, which is crucial for both minimising product loss and providing verifiable documentation of each container\u2019s weight.<\/p>\n
After the insertion of stoppers, either through vacuum or vent tube methods, the containers are conveyed back by the circulating transport system.<\/p>\n
The Pharma Handling Unit then carefully repositions the syringes into their nests.<\/p>\n
Syntegon\u2019s integrated approach offers customers a streamlined and reliable process for handling their presterilised syringes from a single source.<\/p>\n
