Non-destructive inspection, blister recovery and packaging technologies launch at interpack

Sepha is to launch a series of new products across each of its divisions at interpack.

BottleScan is claimed to be the world’s first tool-less, non-destructive leak detection instrument for testing multiple induction-sealed bottles simultaneously. It incorporates force decay technology to test induction-sealed bottles for holes and weak seals without destroying the contents. Ahead of its interpack launch, Bottlescan has already had orders from Asia and North America.

Press Out Universal Mini is a low-volume, rapid product changeover deblistering unit that enables product to be recovered from all blister pack types, particularly child-resistant, peelable and senior-friendly packs. The unit has been developed to reflect changes in the pharmaceutical manufacturing market, where manufacturers are focusing on shorter runs of more bespoke, high-value drugs in child resistant/senior friendly blister packs.

EZ MedPak extends Sepha’s EZ range of low-volume, package development units into the wider medical packaging market. It is aimed specifically at medical device and packaging development teams who want to take control of their own pack designs and develop bespoke packs for small devices and pre-filled syringes.

Commenting on the interpack launches, Paul Kelly, Sepha head of sales and marketing, said: “Sepha are focused on innovation, investing in new technologies and developing our product offering in line with market demand. Our new equipment extends our range into new markets and will meet the changing demands of our global pharma clients. We are excited at these additions and look forward to a successful interpack.”

The three new machines will be showcased at the show alongside existing technologies such as the VisionScan and PakScan.

Hall 16/Stand F23, interpack 2014, 8–14 May, Messe Düsseldorf, Germany.
