Packaging machines in the pharmaceutical industry

Few other industries demand an incredible volume of know-how and experience from packaging machine manufacturers. Accuracy, safety, product protection and product design are top priorities for pharmaceutical packaging. Accordingly, the high importance of meeting standards, hygienic standards and legal requirements such as aseptic filling arises. 

A packaging machine in the pharmaceutical industry can have different tasks. In general, however, the machines must be designed so that they can be cleaned quickly and easily. After all, whether filling or packaging sterile liquids or powdered products, product protection and high quality and hygiene standards are always paramount.

Hygienic requirements are concentrated in legally defined cleanroom classes. Guidelines regulate the individual factors. Divided into “Solid” and “Liquid”, packaging processes are individually tailored to the product to be packaged.

So uniqueness, blisters are found almost exclusively in the pharmaceutical industry. Feeding tablets, for example, requires special sorting and feeding systems. Desiccant sachets are usually added for protection against moisture, which must be taken into account when planning a complete packaging process. Active packaging has long been indispensable in the pharmaceutical industry.
