Lines for secondary packaging of parenteral products in comparison

A variety of packaging machines and production line configurations are available for the secondary packaging of parenteral products. The most suitable solution depends, for example, on the parenteral dosage forms (e.g. injection, infusion), regulatory requirements, in-process control (IPC), integration with the filling process, production or batch sizes and the packaging materials used.

  • Blister machine and cartoner: High performance for standardized setups; ideal for efficiently packaging syringes, ampules or vials while protecting the product
  • Tray-based solution: Flexible for delicate products; processes trays made of cardboard, paper fiber or plastic
  • Feeding systems: SyPro (syringes) and LiPro (ampules/vials) facilitate gentle handling and short setup times – and can be connected to upstream machines as needed

Whether for small batches or highly efficient high-performance lines – our solution can be customized to meet your needs. It reliably protects your products, meets all regulatory requirements and provides optimal support for your drug manufacturing processes.
