Web processing platform for pharmaceuticals and medical products
Optimize your medical and pharmaceutical production with a versatile platform that integrates sealing, cutting, and inspection processes, enabling you to handle a range of products from transdermal patches to diagnostic test strips with precision and adaptability.
Processes Web Materials for Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices
The PMK platform from Harro Höfliger is an adaptable web processing solution tailored for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. It integrates core processes such as sealing, cutting, and punching into a modular framework, allowing for the production of transdermal therapeutic systems (TTS), oral dissolvable films (ODF), and diagnostic test strips. With flexible web tension adjustment and innovative film handling, the PMK ensures precision in product output with throughput reaching up to 750 products per minute. It supports web widths from 150 to 700 mm, catering to various production scales. Equipped with camera systems for rigorous quality inspection, the PMK platform aligns with GMP standards, facilitating seamless integration into existing production lines. It offers options for ultrasonic sealing, thermal and laser welding, and boasts a compact design for easy maintenance. Customizable technology modules further enhance its versatility, providing pharmaceutical manufacturers the capacity to efficiently shift between product variants.
