Bosch expands pharmaceutical portfolio

Leading supplier of processing and packaging technology Bosch Packaging Technology has expanded its expertise in the non-aseptic packaging process for pharmaceuticals.

The company has added two machines developed for the packaging of powders and flow wrapping.

The Sigpack VPF produces hermetically sealed packages, which safely protect products such as pain killers in powder form. Thanks to the high dosing accuracy and excellent sealing properties, the machine can produce and fill up to 1,500 sachets per minute precisely and at the highest quality. The machine was awarded the German Packaging Award from the German Packaging Institute (DVI) in September.

The Sigpack HMUL or HML is available with either ultrasonic or heat sealing technology and can either be loaded independently or integrated seamlessly into a complete line.

Dr Christian Walti, general manager at the Bosch Packaging Technology site in Beringen said: “Our new machines ideally complement the portfolio of Bosch Packaging Technology. We offer our customers from the pharmaceutical industry reliable and efficient solutions from a single source that can cover the entire production and packaging process”.

The expanded portfolio means that Bosch now offer packaging solutions for every production step from a single source.

“The modular design of our machines enables manufacturers to individually equip their production lines and add further Bosch equipment. For instance, serialisation solutions make each step traceable – from the single pack right through to pallets. This way, our customers receive a consistent, user-friendly concept for their entire packaging process.” Said Walti.
