Bosch Presents Modular Filling and Packaging Machines for Diverse Requirements at interpack

At interpack, Bosch Packaging Technology will introduce numerous developments for the pharmaceutical industry. Thanks to their modular design, all machines can be flexibly adapted to current and future market requirements and integrated into line concepts.

Bosch Packaging Technology will present the new FXS Combi — a filling and closing machine for pre-sterilised nested syringes, vials and cartridges — featuring an integrated capping station. It can be flexibly integrated into existing line concepts, allowing for significant space savings. The FXS Combi is designed for low and medium output and can be combined with the proven bag and tub opening machines from Bosch. The presentation of an entire high-performance syringe line, consisting of the filling and closing machine FXS 5100 for pre-sterilised nested syringes, an ABO bag opener and an ATO tub opener, will further underline the company’s competence in the processing of pre-filled syringes.

Bosch Inspection Technology will provide an overview of its product portfolio, ranging from manual to fully automated inspection machines for the detection of particles in pharmaceutical liquids and cosmetic container inspection. A highlight will be the reveal of the AIM 8 series, the new generation of fully automated inspection machines. From its portfolio of manual inspection devices, Bosch will showcase the tabletop device MIH-LX as well as the camera-based ETAC Easy View, which are, amongst others, used for laboratory analysis.

A new, low-maintenance tablet press from the product brand Manesty will be displayed. The newly developed filling shoe as well as fast product and format changeover enhance the tablet press’s output, making it especially suitable for customers with flexible requirements.

The flexible application of Bosch’s capsule filling machines will be demonstrated. The GKF 702 is suited for small and medium batches and all standard filling technologies. The GKF Capsylon 3005 focuses on a reliable output of up to 175,000 capsules per hour. It meets the demands of nutraceutical manufacturers for high efficiency, easy maintenance and operation.

Finally, Bosch will showcase its after-sales services portfolio, offering solutions that improve packaging flexibility, machine efficiency and productivity. Machine upgrades and modernisations enable customers to flexibly adapt their existing equipment to new market requirements. During live presentations, visitors will be able to take part in the ‘OEE Challenge’, a contest that tests participants’ speed, feeding accuracy and productivity on a completely overhauled horizontal wrapper.
