Alphacos Introduces Semi-Automatic Aseptic IV Bag Filling & Closing Machine
August 7, 2006 - Alphacos introduces its new Type 529 Semi-Automatic IV Bag Filling and Closing Machine for aseptic packaging of infusions, parenteral drugs and other pharmaceutical and biotech fluids. Ideal for hospitals, laboratories and manufacturers in clinical trials that require aseptic fills, the modular Type 529 is easy to use, easy to clean, versatile and affordable.
The Type 529 Semi-Automatic IV Bag Filling and Closing Machine handles IV bags from 100 ml to 10 liters made of EVA, PVC, PP and other materials, producing up to 2000 aseptic bags per hour. Introducing a commercially viable alternative to traditional aseptic vials, Alphacos' new IV bag system offers a new concept in aseptic filling. Compared to vials, aseptic IV bags reduce material costs and ease product handling and transportation.
The modular Type 529 has the flexibility to expand as production needs grow. As higher outputs are required, additional semi-automatic filling/closing stations can be added - up to four filling/closing stations can be integrated within the machine footprint using the original electronics. Even with four stations, the easy-to-use semi-automatic system requires only one operator.
Alphacos can equip the versatile Type 529 IV Bag Filling and Closing Machine with a number of options to meet each customer's requirements. The company offers a choice in dosing technology - mass flow or peristaltic pump. The system can be adapted to many stopper types. And for highly sensitive products, Alphacos can equip the system with an air evacuating and pre- and/or post-gassing system. To ease sanitation, a clean-in-place (CIP) or sterilize-in-place (SIP) system can be integrated.
To maximize product safety, the Type 529 IV Bag Filling and Closing Machine features a fully integrated automatic closing system that eliminates possible contamination. All product contact parts are 316L stainless steel or FDA-approved synthetics. And all contact parts can be autoclaved, which eliminates the need to irradiate parts during sanitation. The system meets or exceeds FDA, cGMP, PIC and GAMP pharmaceutical guidelines.
Alphacos designed the Type 529 IV Bag Filling and Closing Machine for ease of use. The flat color touch screen control panel offers an intuitive user interface that is easy to learn and easy to use. To operate the semi-automatic system, an operator need only insert the bag - the system automatically fills, closes and handles the closures.
Changeovers are fast and simple on the Type 529. Volume changes are accomplished via the touch screen control panel. Closure changes can be accomplished in only 15 minutes, no tools and no change parts required.
