Pharmaceutical Aseptic Filling and Sealing System

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Pharmaceutical Aseptic Filling and Sealing System

Definition

This system is a coordinated industrial solution for the aseptic processing of liquid pharmaceutical preparations. It integrates multiple functional modules to perform washing, sterilization, filling, stoppering, and sealing operations within a controlled Grade A/ISO 5 environment. The system is engineered to maintain sterility assurance levels (SAL) of ≤10^-6, preventing microbial contamination of injectable drugs, vaccines, and biologics. It is a critical component in the manufacture of parenteral and ophthalmic dosage forms, ensuring product safety and regulatory compliance. The system typically includes a washing station, a depyrogenation tunnel, an isolator or Restricted Access Barrier System (RABS), filling pumps, stoppering units, and capping stations. It handles primary containers such as vials and syringes, with a maximum throughput ranging from 6,000 to 12,000 vials per hour depending on configuration. The fill volume range is 0.5 to 500 ml, with a fill accuracy of ±0.5%. The system operates under ISO 5 environmental classification as per ISO 14644-1. Stoppering force is controlled between 50 and 200 N, and crimping torque for aluminum seals is 0.5 to 2.0 N·m. The system requires a compressed air supply of 0.6 to 0.8 MPa, a three-phase power supply of 380/220 V AC at 50/60 Hz, and operates within a temperature range of 15 to 30 °C and humidity of 45 to 65% RH. The ingress protection rating is IP54 to IP65 per IEC 60529. Machine weight ranges from 3,000 to 8,000 kg, and the footprint is 6 to 15 m². Materials in contact with product include stainless steel 316L, pharmaceutical-grade silicone, borosilicate glass, and pharmaceutical-grade elastomers. These specifications are reference ranges; verify model-specific values with the manufacturer.

Working Principle

The system operates via a continuous, automated sequence. Vials or syringes are fed onto a conveyor, washed, depyrogenated in a tunnel oven, cooled, and transferred into an isolator or Restricted Access Barrier System (RABS). Inside this sterile zone, precise volumetric pumps fill the containers, rubber stoppers are inserted, and aluminum seals are crimped onto the vials before final discharge. The entire process is monitored to maintain sterility and accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the sterility assurance level (SAL) of this system?

The system is designed to maintain a sterility assurance level (SAL) of ≤10^-6, meaning the probability of a non-sterile unit is less than one in a million. This is achieved through validated aseptic processing and environmental controls.

What container types can this system handle?

The system is designed for vials and syringes. The maximum throughput is 6,000 to 12,000 vials per hour, depending on the configuration and container size. The fill volume range is 0.5 to 500 ml.

What environmental classification is required for the filling zone?

The critical filling zone is classified as ISO 5 according to ISO 14644-1. This ensures a controlled environment with low particle counts to maintain product sterility.

What are the utility requirements for this system?

The system requires a compressed air supply of 0.6 to 0.8 MPa, a three-phase power supply of 380/220 V AC at 50/60 Hz, and operates within a temperature range of 15 to 30 °C and humidity of 45 to 65% RH. Verify exact requirements with the manufacturer.
