Dpi inhaler production system

Enhance your inhaler production with precision assembly and integrated dosing, filling, and capping processes—perfect for complex pharmaceutical devices demanding high-speed, precise operations and clean room conditions.

Assembles and Fills Dry Powder Inhalers

The FOT Oval Motion Machine from Harro Höfliger excels in the precise assembly and filling of dry powder inhalers (DPIs) for pharmaceutical applications. Featuring a unique oval motion design, it efficiently integrates dosing, filling, inspection, and capping of inhalers with powder reservoirs. Capable of operating at speeds up to 60 cycles per minute, it supports intermittent, high-speed operations with up to 50 stations to accommodate complex assembly tasks. The platform, suitable for medical device and pharmaceutical product manufacturers, seamlessly integrates with existing production lines and offers a clean room design option (Class 100,000-1,000) for sterile environments. Its robust parts handling system utilizes vacuums, grippers, or tongs for precise component transfer and can perform simultaneous loading and unloading. An auger filler ensures accurate powder dosing, while inspection systems maintain high product quality standards. Harro Höfliger’s expertise in barrier technology ensures operator and product safety, with ergonomic designs facilitating user-friendly operations.
