TOP TECHNOLOGIES Rod Insertion and Syringe Labelling Bosch Packaging Technology offers a new rod insertion and labelling machine as part of its RIL series. The RIL 3060B model provides fast handling and features an integrated backstop assembly that increases safety for the end user. A segmentation wheel allows for a continuous flow of syringes, while total torque control helps ensure sterility during the handling process. No adjustments are required for format changeovers. Bosch Packaging Technology www.bosch.com Leak Detector A quality-control machine is available from Sepha. Blisterscan is a system that uses laser technology for the nondestructive leak detection of blister packs. Defects as small as 7 microns can be detected, with objective results being captured for each individual blister pocket. The system can test multiple blister packs in a single cycle and offers an alternative to the Methylene Blue Dye Test. Sepha www.sepha.com Powder Tester Transfer Valve Freeman Technology’s FT4 Powder Rheometer is a universal powder tester that combines three systems in one: rheometer, shear cell and compression tester. Several parameters can be measured including dynamic flow measurements, bulk properties derived from compression or other simple methods, shear properties and processability properties. Freeman Technology www.freemantech.co.uk Aseptic transfers can take place in lower-class cleanrooms using the BIO valve, available from ChargePoint Technology. The valve is suitable for sensitive products and achieves a Grade A area within the valve itself. It is suitable for small- or largescale production, as well as continuous processes.
