BLOW-FILL-SEAL

USING ONE MACHINE FOR THREE PRODUCTION STEPS

A blow-fill-seal (BFS) machine minimizes contamination risk and reduces production costs.

Reducing machine interfaces is a key factor in getting three steps from one machine only. Integrated blow-fill-seal technology combines:

Forming
Sterile/aseptic filling
Closing

Rieckermann knows the integral parts in a pharmaceutical filling process and how to manage their interfaces. We are a reliable partner and have the experience necessary to set up your industrial solution for dedicated pharmaceutical applications.

BLOW-FILL-SEAL PROCESS

Thermoplastic resin is extruded into a tubular shape (parison) which is continuously flushed with sterile air.

The bottom of the parison is pinched and closed, while the top is held open with the help of the special mold design. At the proper length, the mold is closed and the parison is cut. The parison in the mold is then conveyed to the point of fill.
