DESCRIPTION: The VT240 is a thermoforming and filling machine built to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards. It is designed to produce thermoformed single-dose containers from various materials such as laminated films, aluminum, or specialty papers. This versatile machine is ideal for packaging a wide range of products, including liquids, gels, creams, dense and semi-dense products, and powders. Its applications span the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and chemical industries. INDUSTRIES OF USE: Pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetic, food, dietary, medical device, and manufacturing. KEY FEATURES: The VT240 boasts a cantilevered design, which significantly improves operator accessibility for faster format changeovers and easier cleaning. A key feature is the film magazine, capable of handling one or two films, which ensures continuous production by eliminating stops for reel changes. It also includes an automatic inert gas purge system for the containers, a humidity control system, and internal environmental monitoring. For the pharmaceutical industry, the VT240 can be built to comply with 21 CFR Part 11 regulations published by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), demonstrating its adherence to rigorous industry standards.
