Filling and closing machine
Machine type FFV 12024
The machine type FFV 12024 comprises a compact system for filling and closing vials, bottles and similar containers. The dosing station is designed to process liquid products using rotary piston pumps. However, it can also be equipped with alternative dosing technology such as peristaltic pumps or a time-pressure dosing system. The containers are conveyed through the work area in a continuous motion and suspended freely, without any obstruction by base guides or counterguides. This LF-friendly transport system works virtually particle-free. The containers are closed by the insertion of rubber stoppers or droppers.

CIP/SIP
"Cleaning in place – sterilizing in place" is a system for cleaning and/or sterilizing product-carrying parts as installed. Our CIP/SIP system offers a high level of process reliability while saving work and time, as well as cutting cleaning and sterilization costs.All parts which come into contact with the product are rinsed intensively with suitable cleaning media. There is no need to remove any parts. Once the cleaning and sterilization process has been completed, the entire system is cooled and kept under vacuum until the start of production. All applicable technical and pharmaceutical regulations, such as DIN, GMP and FDA, are observed and applied.
Dosing systems
Rotary piston pumpsThe rotary piston pumps comprise only two parts. The dose is defined by the pump stroke setting. They are self-priming and dispense pharmaceutical products very gently and with great precision.
Single-hose peristaltic pumps
Only one product hose is required from the product vessel to the dosing needle. The single-hose peristaltic pumps do not require a Y-manifold, which means that the dosing system itself is very straightforward and easy to use.
Time/pressure dosing system
Product is supplied from a dosing vessel equipped with a precision pressure controller. Only one product hose is required from the pressure controller to the dosing needle. This electronically controlled dosing process allows production data to be acquired and documented.
Barrier systems – RABS
Aseptic ambient conditions free of contamination can be created using RABS (Restricted Access Barrier Systems).
- Passive RABS
- Active RABS
- Closed RABS
- Isolator
Taking the building and room situation into account, these systems provide optimum air flow conditions.
