Bosch sets standards in sterile powder filling with AFG 5000

The system's new, variable transport system avoids bottlesnecks or delays in workflow.

With the AFG 5000, Bosch has developed a machine platform for the sterile filling of powders in glass vials with a wide range of versions. Depending on the features, both small and large amounts of powder can be dosed with high accuracy. Thanks to a varying number of filling stations, the AFG achieves outputs of up to 480 vials per minute.

The machine is equipped with a new, variable transport system. Its speed is precisely adapted to the rhythm of the individual stations such as filling, weighing and stopper insertion. This way, delays in the workflow can be avoided, and the vials are optimally timed – without any bottlenecks or idle times. Moreover, the lean and compact design of the AFG 5000 and its quick format changes save time, space and costs.
