Filling and closing system for cartridges
In the pharmaceutical industry, the precise and contaminant-free filling and closing of cartridges is critical. Managing the insertion of plunger stoppers, accurate dosing of liquid products, and ensuring gentle transport are common challenges faced during cartridge processing.
Transport, dose, and seal cartridges efficiently
The KFM series by Bausch+Stroebel is designed for processing cartridges in pharmaceutical applications. Before filling, the plunger stoppers are inserted into the cartridges from below. The system employs rotary piston pumps for dosing but can also use peristaltic or time-pressure dosing systems. Cartridges are filled in two stages to maximize accuracy and are then sealed with crimp caps and rubber seals. A specialized transport system ensures that cartridges are handled individually and safely, minimizing the risk of damage. With an output range from 12,000 to 36,000 items per hour depending on the model, the KFM series provides high process reliability and optimal laminar air flow. Additional features include CIP/SIP-compatible components and options for gas-flushing stations. This system is suitable for a wide range of container sizes and heights, making it versatile for various production needs.
