Description
Technical Specifications & Performance Data This used bottling line is a complete pharmaceutical packaging solution designed for filling and packaging glass bottles for infusion-type applications. The line is currently in production and supports multiple dosage formats with integrated washing, filling, capping, crimping, sterilization, inspection, labeling, boxing, and palletizing. Designed for sterile handling, it uses purified water (PW), water for injection (WFI), and sterile compressed air in critical steps. Production Rate: 3500 bottles per hour Supported Bottle Volumes: 0.2L, 0.25L, 0.4L, 0.5L Container Type: Glass Bottles (Infusion/IV Style) Line Configuration: Depalletizer, Bottle Washer (PW/WFI + Sterile Air Drying), Filler, Vacuum Station, Capping Machine, Foil Crimping Machine, Tray Loader, Autoclave, Tray Unloader, 2 x Manual Inspection Stations, Labeling Machine, Cartoning Machine, Carton Sealer, Palletizer Sterilization: Autoclave by SBM Operational Status: In Production Advanced Automation & Control Systems The line features integrated handling and synchronized conveyors to maintain a constant flow through the washing, filling, capping and terminal packaging stages. Manual visual inspection stations are positioned downstream of sterilization to ensure product quality. The format changeover is designed to handle multiple bottle sizes from 0.2L to 0.5L, enabling efficient batch transitions. Standard pharmaceutical best practices, such as sterile air drying and clean-side separation, support controlled operations. Electrical parameters and PLC/HMI specifications are line-specific and can be adapted to site utilities. Production Line Integration Capability: As a complete packaging line, this system operates inline from the depalletizer to the palletizer. Upstream sections prepare and clean glass containers, mid-line modules handle precise filling and secure crimping, and the downstream area performs sterilization, inspection, labeling, boxing, sealing, and palletizing. The line offers multi-format flexibility for 0.2L, 0.25L, 0.4L, and 0.5L glass bottles and can be integrated with site-wide quality systems and traceability procedures. Conveyors and buffer zones are configured to balance cycle times between process stages. Machine Condition & Maintenance History The line is currently in production, indicating full operation and regular maintenance. PW/WFI cleaning and sterile air drying emphasize disciplined hygiene routines aligned with pharmaceutical processing. Regular operation at all stations—from the depalletizer to the palletizer—demonstrates a consistent, production-ready asset, suitable for immediate commissioning after site adaptation. Operational Performance & Versatility Designed for glass bottles and sterile liquid products, the line combines precise filling with a dedicated vacuum station and reliable closing using capping and aluminum crimping. An autoclave allows for post-closure sterilization, while two manual inspection stations provide visual particle control. Labeling, boxing, and palletizing modules complete an end-of-line solution for industrial packaging, reflecting technologies widely adopted in high-spec bottling equipment, including those used in beverage production environments. Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Site preparation should include a linear line flow with adequate space for depalletizing, washing, filling, sterilization, inspection, and end-of-line packaging. Typical utilities include power, purified water (PW), water for injection (WFI), sterile compressed air for drying and process support, and steam for the autoclave. Adequate drainage systems and piping for clean utilities are required. Environmental controls should comply with pharmaceutical handling procedures for glass containers. Safety Standards & Compliance Certifications The line includes guards and operator safety devices commonly found on industrial packaging machinery, with emergency stop systems positioned along the process flow. Hygienic processing is supported by the use of PW, WFI, sterile air drying, and post-closure autoclave sterilization. Stainless steel construction and hygienic design principles facilitate sanitization and are suitable for implementation in quality and hygiene frameworks used in regulated packaged goods operations.
