A vial machine for different formats

Schubert-Pharma has many years of experience and expertise in packaging vials, ampoules, syringes and other products for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. The rationale behind the development of the new machine was to enable manufacturers to meet line clearance requirements even more effectively. Klaus Dierolf, Head of Pharma Project Management, explains: “Line clearance basically means ensuring a streamlined, orderly work area to prevent product mix-ups. Pharmaceutical technicians have to carry out a line clearance after packaging a batch to ensure that all products have been removed from the machine before a new batch is started. This innovation prevents mixing.’
