Applications
The GF LYNX machines inspect large volume parenterals and infusion, filled in bottles. GF offers a fully automated solution in order to verify products are essentially free of foreign particles, which can affect sterility, and other container defects. Particles floating in the liquid, Heavy particles Fill level Container inspection for aesthetic and functional defects Leak detection
The SYFILL machines are designed to process nested containers, such as syringes, cartridges, and vials in aseptic conditions, meeting the current pharmaceutical industry requirements. The machine receives the opened tub in the filling area and through a pick and place system the nest is moved in a drilled support. Than the SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) brings the nest under filling and stoppering station to complete the operation. At the end of the cycle the nest is re-posit
A&V Optical inspection machine for ampoules, vials, and cartridges
The A&V Series of fully automated inspection machines for syringes, cartridges, vials, and ampoules represents the ideal solution to comply with GMP requirements, and to ensure that SVP products are essentially free of particulate and cosmetic defects. Standard configuration includes loading system in line connection, vision inspection carousel with three particle detection stations and fill level inspections, and dedicated exit trays for rejected products at each inspection point. The same ma
GF inspection machines are manufactured based on a long-standing experience in mechanical handling and control systems, while keeping up with the fast development of visual & optical devices, in order to guarantee optimal performances and consistent results.
ISBM technology is the modern manufacturing trend used for the Polypropylene bottles manufacturing, while the traditional form, fill, and seal technology is the commonly used for the soft bags manufacturing. GF offers a complete range of machines able to form, fill, and seal both plastic bags and bottles commonly used for large volume injectable solutions and irrigation products.
