LiPro feeder: gentle handling of parenteral products
Our servo-controlled LiPro feeder gently places glass and plastic containers into blisters or environmentally friendly boxes – for the safe secondary packaging of vials, ampoules and cartridges.
Avoid glass breakages with gentle product feeding
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 at an output of max. 1,050 pieces per minute depending on the product and blister design.
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.
