Sterile filling platform for pharmaceuticals

Achieve precise, high-speed aseptic filling and packaging with advanced compliance and seamless integration, ensuring product integrity across diverse applications in life sciences.

Fills, Assembles, and Caps Diverse Containers

The Z-201 Platform by Rychiger is a versatile, walking beam aseptic fill finish machine designed to meet precise manufacturing standards in the pharmaceutical, consumer health, and diagnostic sectors. Its unique walking beam principle ensures consistent and precise container positioning for operations like feeding, gassing, weighing, inspection, filling, and capping. Applications range from sterile injectable vials to consumer products like face creams and coffee pods. The platform operates at up to 200 units per minute, efficiently handling both liquid and solid products. Engineered for seamless integration, it offers OPC UA connectivity and recipe control for streamlined automation. Its compact design and use of FDA-compliant materials guarantee both compliance and ease of maintenance, while GMP documentation supports regulatory adherence. Easily customizable and capable of quick format changes without tools, the Z-201 enhances uptime and operational flexibility, making it ideal for high-speed production environments.
