"Innovations in Closure Processing and Transfer Systems"
by Dr. Stephen Morley

in the Session "Pharma meets production - Intergrity and sterility".
ACHEMA Congress 2018, H1.1 Logistics Hotspot, PRAXISforum

During the last two decades, several systems have been developed and adopted for the cleaning, siliconisation, sterilization and drying of all types of closures (stoppers, plungers, crimp seals), with transfer to isolated filling lines.

Each has their merits, but each is usually dedicated to one style of transfer application: whether processing with off-load to intermediate containers (bags, bins) for manual handling, or processing with semi-automatic transfer directly to a filling line.

Steelco will present an innovative, flexible system, the SPE, which can be easily adapted to any of these applications, but also including a fully automatic / continuous processing and transfer system (no human intervention required/no intermediate transfers/no docking of containers). The Steelco SPE, based on the proven Icos LST equipment, also provides best in class particulate reduction and drying capability.
