Pharmaceutical Filling Equipment and Custom-made Solutions

Advanced Technologies for Pharmaceutical Filling Machines

Pharmaceutical filling equipment and machines have evolved considerably over the years to adapt to increasing regulatory constraints and product diversity. They now incorporate cutting-edge technologies that ensure exceptional dosing accuracy, complete sterilisation of the filling circuit and advanced automation to limit human intervention.

The choice of filling technology depends mainly on the type of liquid (viscous or fluid), the container (glass, plastic, syringe or vial) and the volume to be processed.

There are three types of filling: piston filling, peristaltic pump filling and gravity filling. Each has advantages depending on the type of product, its sensitivity and the desired production rates. Modern equipment is also capable of combining filling and capping on the same line, with perfect synchronisation between the different stages.

Integrated sensors check the filled volume, the presence of caps and the integrity of the containers in real time. These systems therefore offer complete traceability, which is essential in the pharmaceutical industry. Production environments can finally be made completely aseptic thanks to the integration of laminar air flow, sterilisation-in-place (SIP) and cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems. The aim is to avoid any contact between the operator and the product for maximum safety.

Essential Criteria for Choosing your Pharmaceutical Filling Equipment

To find the best pharmaceutical filling equipment and machines, you must first consider their compatibility with the products to be filled. Sensitive or sterile products naturally require hermetic systems with a controlled aseptic environment. Dosing accuracy must also be taken into account. Even the slightest variation can lead to over- or under-dosing, with serious consequences.

It is therefore important to choose filling technology that is suited to the level of precision required. Flexibility is another factor to consider. Production lines must be able to adapt to different container formats without requiring lengthy changeover operations. Process automation also helps to reduce the risk of contamination, increase productivity and optimise costs.

It is therefore recommended to choose equipment that incorporates online control systems and intuitive interfaces for operators, and that offers a high level of connectivity for data traceability. Finally, ease of cleaning, robustness and compliance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards should not be overlooked.

EREA Pharma’s Expertise in Aseptic Filling Solutions

With its in-depth understanding of the challenges facing the pharmaceutical sector, EREA Pharma designs high-precision machines that meet the industry’s requirements in terms of hygiene, reliability and performance. The equipment we develop can be integrated into aseptic environments, thanks in particular to its compatibility with isolators, RABS and laminar flow systems.

They ensure filling without direct contact with operators, which drastically reduces the risk of cross-contamination. We also offer customised solutions that can be adapted to different types of containers and volumes. In addition, our automated systems provide real-time control of filling, capping and final packaging, while complying with international quality standards.

By combining technical expertise, innovation and personalised support, we enable various laboratories and manufacturers to secure their production while gaining in efficiency and traceability. All this makes us a trusted partner for meeting the challenges of modern pharmaceutical production.
