Disc filler for dry powder inhalers
Optimize your dry powder inhaler production with precision micro-dosing for diverse powder properties, ensuring efficient filling of DPI discs with minimal waste and enhanced flow control.
Fills and Assembles DPI Discs
The Disc Filler from Harro Höfliger is a semi-automatic solution designed for precision filling of dry powder inhaler (DPI) discs. This equipment ensures simultaneous filling of multiple disc cavities, using a membrane filling method that prevents powder abrasion and clogging. It supports applications in pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing, specifically for products like asthma medication discs and microfluidic cartridges for lab automation. The Disc Filler can integrate seamlessly into automated production lines, enhancing throughput with additional filling heads. It allows easy format changes via two interchangeable parts, making it versatile for varying cavity geometries and arrangements. The system supports different micro-dosing methods, including tamping pin and dosator, suitable for diverse powder properties. Compliant with industry standards, the equipment offers gentle powder handling and high accuracy in dosing, vital for maintaining product integrity.
