INTERNATIONAL FUSION

Pharmaceutical Applications

 With around 100 machines sold in the last three decades for pharmaceutical applications –thus representing around 30% on the total installations world wide – the Unifill technology is proven to be particularly attractive for the packing of a variety of liquid and semi-dense OTC products.

 

While in Europe and the Americas the most common product packed with our technology are cough syrup, mouth washers, neutraceutical products, topic ointments, pain-relief creams, tooth-pastes, etc the Far East market is mostly concentrating on vitamins, herbal drinks, energisers, body oils, etc.

                             

From a packaging point of view the production of drinkable medicines into disposable plastic unit doses offers great economical and practical advantages in respect to glass containers which are often critical for what concerns sourcing, transportation, handling and outer packing. 

 

 The large consumption of healthy products such as ginseng-based drinks, herbal supplements, vitamins and energetic drinks – especially in the Far East markets – greatly contributed to the success of the Unifill technology in the para-pharmaceutical and the healthcare industry. China is today Unifill’s main market where a number of machines have been sold with over 50 installations, 70% of which are for pharmaceutical applications. 

 

HYGIENE LEVEL

Although Unifill machines are not aseptic and are therefore not suitable for the handling of sterile products such as injectables, a special ultra-clean package is available to greatly increase hygienic handling and filling conditions. In particular, the ultra clean package – that is available for any Unifill model- includes thermoforming with sterile air, inert gas flushing before or after filling, magnetic dosing and filling unit, laminar flow with HEPA filter.

 

Further to this, Unifill has recently developed, together with some of the top material suppliers, some projects where the Unifill machine utilise special retort materials such as PP/EVOH/PP or PA/EVOH/PP. Such materials are suitable for autoclaving and/or Gamma rays sterilisation.
