Robotic filler for aseptic pharmaceutical production

Streamline your aseptic filling process with high-speed robotic precision, ensuring sterility and versatility for a wide range of pharmaceutical products, from gene therapies to monoclonal antibodies.

Performs Aseptic Filling and Sealing Operations

The Flex-Line Robotic Filler from ATS Life Sciences Group is a state-of-the-art solution engineered for aseptic filling in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. This robotic filler excels with its seamless integration of Scientific Products’ precision filling with Comecer isolation technologies, ensuring sterility and reliability.

Capable of handling diverse applications such as injectables, biologics, and advanced therapy medicinal products, it produces critical end-products like monoclonal antibodies and mRNA vaccines with precision. Its throughput ranges from 15 to 200 units per minute, accommodating microvials to large parenterals, supported by a robust servo-driven transport system.

Utilizing Stäubli robotics, it maintains high cleanliness and precision, while optional modes minimize material wastage, boosting efficiency and reducing costs. Made from premium stainless steel, it adheres to cGMP, Annex 1, and FDA compliance standards.

Processing integration is simplified with its capacity for upstream de-bagging and downstream operations like labeling, capping, and freeze-drying, all coordinated via a single project management team for streamlined project execution and validation. The equipment supports rapid changeover and customization to meet unique production demands.

Benefits
