Automatic syringe de-nester for pharmaceutical production
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, transitioning from filled syringes within nested tubs to further processing lines can present challenges of maintaining sterility and minimizing handling errors.
De-nests and transfers syringes
The AD-200 APES from Siempharma is an automated system designed specifically for the de-nesting of syringes and their transfer to downstream processes such as optical inspection, plungering, and labeling equipment. Constructed with a full AISI 304 stainless steel structure, this system ensures durability and compliance with GMP standards. Safety features include aluminum frame guards and Lexan doors with safety interlock switches, providing full visibility and accessibility for maintenance and operation. The AD-200 APES uses brushless motors and robotic systems to guarantee gentle handling of syringes, minimizing the risk of damage or contamination. Its user-friendly touchscreen HMI allows for quick configuration and easy operation. Additionally, it complies with the INDUSTRY 4.0 standards and is equipped with CFR 21 Part 11 / EU Annex 11 compliance for data integrity and security. The system’s modules include an infeed tub buffer with FIFO policy, nest removal automation, and empty tub stacking units, all aimed at optimizing the production line efficiency.
