The Blow Fill Seal Technique has been developed so that formation of the container, filling and sealing takes place in a single machine under a controlled environment that enables the packaging of a pharmaceutical liquid in an aseptic manner. The following picture show the major phases in the integrated packaging of parenteral solutions using the AFP® system.
As the container is made, filled and sealed within a single machine and the process is protected using a sterile air shower and additionally, all process media (solution, air etc.) are sterile filtered, the chance of contamination is very remote. Adding to the fact that during the whole cycle, open containers remain exposed to the clean room air for less than 1.5 seconds, the Blow-Fill-Seal technology becomes the process of choice where contamination of particle matter and microbial contamination is a primary concern.
In order to meet the different customers' requirements, an extensive machine program for bottle and ampoule manufacturing including machines with one mould and two moulds has been developed. The machine can fill the plastic container parenterals such as Large Volume Parenterals (LVP), Small Volume Parenterals (SVP) and Eye, Ear, Nose Care Products.
AFP® Blow-Fill-Seal machines has strict design standard and operator-friendly, equipment with lowest wear, highest process repeatability and reliability, thus meeting all current pharmaceutical regulations of the Health Authorities.
