Core Modules
| Module | Key Functions | Main Configuration | GMP Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filling / Stoppering / Capping Main Unit | Integrated filling, stoppering & capping | Ceramic pumps, silicone tubing, stoppering device, constant-torque capping | No bottle–no fill / no stopper / no cap, with dust-proof enclosure |
| Bottle Unscrambler | Automatic bottle unscrambling | Equipped with buffer hopper | Ensures orderly bottle feeding into the main unit |
| Laminar Flow Hood | Local Class 100 protection | Glove ports | Provides clean operating environment and reduces contamination risk |
| Buffer Tank | Stabilized liquid supply | Optional jacket, agitator, etc. | Product-contact parts in 316L stainless steel |
| Nitrogen System | Nitrogen purging protection | Pre- and post-filling nitrogen flushing | Reduces oxidation and improves product stability |
Control System & Data Integrity
Equipped with Siemens PLC and HMI touchscreen.
Supports recipe storage and rapid changeover.
Backup available for both PLC and HMI programs.
Cleaning & Sterilization Strategy
Fully automatic CIP/SIP with cleaning coverage ≥ 99% and residue ≤ 0.1 ppm.
Filter integrity testing: online PALL integrity tester with automatic report printing.
