The SME series are compact, continuous-motion machines with a modular design for assembling disposable syringes. The basic module applies self-adhesive labels from a roll to glass or plastic syringes and inserts plunger rods into plunger stoppers without exerting pressure. Two extension modules are also available for expanding production at a later date to include safety-enhanced disposable syringes: a module for the final assembly of syringes with needle guard systems and a further module for assembling backstop components.
