Pharmaceutical powder bag filling system

Ensure precision in pharmaceutical formulations with a system that fills high-speed packets, ensuring secure sealing and thorough inspection for quality maintenance.

Fills, Seals, and Inspects Pharmaceutical Bags

The PPH from Harro Höfliger is a highly specialized vertical filling and sealing machine designed for pharmaceutical applications. It efficiently produces four-edge seal bags, filling them with powders and bulk goods while ensuring compliance with GMP standards. The machine features a round motion unit for sensory inspection and precision dosing, supported by a 100% weight inspection system. Capable of producing up to 300 bags per minute, the PPH integrates seamlessly into your production line with its fully automatic operation and stack transport to downstream cartoning machines. Its PLC-controlled system allows for parameterized batch releases, ensuring fast and reliable product delivery. Engineered with separate quality monitoring and a completely protected production area, the PPH excels in maintaining product integrity. It features options for micro-dosing and inline printing, utilizing various sealing technologies and powerful camera inspection systems to guarantee sterility and annotate packages effectively with thermotransfer, inkjet, or laser systems, making it an invaluable asset for pharmaceutical manufacturers and healthcare product companies.
