Gloveless robotic filling cell for aseptic pharmaceutical processing
Eliminate human intervention in aseptic filling with an advanced robotic cell, enhancing sterility and efficiency for your pharmaceutical production line.

Automates Aseptic Filling and Closing
The Robocell from groninger is a state-of-the-art gloveless robotic system designed for aseptic filling and closing of ready-to-use (RTU) syringes, vials, and cartridges. What sets the robocell apart is its complete automation, eliminating human intervention and thereby enhancing contamination control. It operates through an integrated robotic technology system, making it suitable for filling complex products like biological drugs, ADCs, and ATMPs across small and medium batches. The system boasts high flexibility, capable of handling various packaging materials—from pre-sterilized to snap-on caps—while achieving reduced changeover times with minimal format parts. Compliance with EU GMP Annex 1 ensures it meets stringent pharmaceutical standards, while an incorporated PUPSIT facilitates integrity testing, even in the absence of glove ports. With capabilities for CIP, robust cleaning, and maintenance, the robocell integrates seamlessly into processing and packaging operations, supporting pharmaceutical and biotech industries with reliable, hygienic aseptic production solutions.
