Processing of injection bottles

The manufacturing process for injection bottles typically begins with a compact system. This consists of a washing machine, a drying and sterilising tunnel, a filling and sealing machine, an overseal capping machine as well as a system for traying-off. Compact systems for injection bottles are finished using sterile room equipment (on-site sterile room) or in the innovative isolator technology (machine sterile room). The containers are checked, labelled and end-packaged on subsequent machines. Bosch provides an individually configurable range of machinery for this application for maximum production capacities of up to 36,000 containers per hour.
Processing steps at a glance:

Cleaning: reliable internal and external cleaning with the washing machinesRRU,RRN,RQU DZ or RQN DZ.

Sterilisation: drying and sterilising tunnelHQL for sterilisation and depyprogenation by the laminar flow principle. At the outfeed end the containers are transferred in batches on to the infeed belt of the filling and sealing machine.

Filling (liquid) and sealing: filling and pressing in stoppers with filling and sealing machinesMRF,MLF,FLC, FLM or MAFS. (On theMRF andMLF machine caps can also be placed in position and oversealed).

Filling (powder) and sealing: filling and pressing in stoppers with theAFG filling and sealing machine.

Oversealing: placing caps in position and low-particle oversealing with the overseal capping machine VRU, VRT orVRK.

Traying off: automatic traying machinesGLT.

Subsequent processing steps:

  • Check for particle freedom and cosmetic defects
  • Check injection bottles for impermeability with the inspection machineKLD
  • Application of a self-adhesive label with the labeling machineERS
  • End packing of containers in thermoformed blisters, folding boxes and/or cartonscartoning machines
  • toploading systems
