and process technologies for sterile and nonsterile medications. at pharma expo the company is exhibiting a compact machine with a threeway function in the form of the inova ekcs in addition to labelling, plungers are inserted into syringes and finger grips installed. the applied force is constantly measured and recorded during the assembly operations. transport within the machine is done extremely gently without any glass to glass contact. assembly functions for additional components and camera systems can be integrated as an option. the machine that flexibly handles a variety of formats achieves a capacity of up to 3,200 syringes an hour. metall plastic will be putting the gts glove testing system on display. the device is characterised by a high degree of flexibility, since corresponding test covers can be offered for just about any type of glove and glove ring. two independently operating, builtin compressors allow up to 6 gloves to be tested in just 15 minutes. an external compressed air supply is not required. any chance of confusion over which glove data is being recorded is excluded by the use of rfid radio frequency identification chips. once they have been assigned, the system recognises by itself which glove has just been tested. once the testing is finished a test report can be generated and displayed on the 15" touchscreen. it can also be sent via the wlan wireless module and merged with production batches with no risk of manipulation. optima pharma will be presenting information on the latest technologies concerning the processing of medications in ready to use syringes, vials, infusion bottles and carpules. in addition to filling and closing, further functions and process technologies, including washing machines, sterilisation tunnels and containment systems are considered. pharmaceutical freezedrying and robotics for product handling round out the comprehensive portfolio. optima pharma at pharma expo, chicago, west hall,
