Pharmaceutical Filling Systems: Short Cycle Times and High Flexibility
Boosting Efficiency in Pharmaceutical Production
Modern pharmaceutical production demands automation, speed, and flawless precision. For operations looking to reduce cycle times and maintain high process reliability, the right filling technology is critical.
While water-like products are easily handled by rotary piston or pressure systems, viscous materials—such as hyaluronic acid, hydrogels, emulsions, or suspensions—present unique challenges. These materials require equipment that delivers high-speed dosing with consistent quality.
Why Progressive Cavity Pumps Lead the Way
Progressive cavity pump technology, like that offered by ViscoTec, is redefining pharmaceutical filling lines. These pumps deliver precise, low-shear dosing of viscous and abrasive products—ensuring product integrity and performance. With cycle times as low as 0.5 seconds, they’re ideal for high-speed, high-volume operations.
Thanks to a unique rotor-stator geometry, ViscoTec’s systems provide pulsation-free, drip-free filling. Adjustable retraction ensures a clean thread break at the dosing end, preventing mess and waste.
Maximum Flexibility for Changing Production Needs
One of the standout features of ViscoTec’s VPHD dispenser is its modular and reprogrammable design, making it easy to adapt to new formulations, batch sizes, or media types. Whether you're dosing liquid suspensions, thick ointments, or solid-laden pastes, the system adjusts seamlessly—minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
Designed for Pharma Compliance
The VPHD pharmaceutical dispenser meets the strict hygiene standards of pharmaceutical environments:
All wetted parts made from AISI 316L stainless steel (1.4404)
Electro-polished surface with Ra ≤ 0.8μm
FDA-compliant non-metallic components
Supplied with material certificates (3.1 EN 10204)
The unit supports CIP/SIP cleaning protocols and can also be disassembled without tools for fast, manual cleaning—ensuring optimal hygiene and reduced maintenance time.
