Pharmaceutical Vial Filling
Company News Monday, April 29, 2013: AP Dataweigh
The problem:
A biogenetics company that supplies liquid chemical compounds for DNA and blood testing could not maintain specification fill levels on its vials. The company had seven different products that were being filled in five different size vials. The price of the chemicals ranged from $0.50 to $30 per gram. Of particular concern was a 2ml vial that weighed only 1.97 grams but comprised the majority of the company’s sales.
The solution:
AP Dataweigh, Inc. designed a system based on our HR 1 series checkweigher. During initial analysis it was discovered that the vials the company was using were out of tolerance, and this was compounding their problem of maintaining accurate fill levels. An HR 1 scale was positioned before and after the filler, computing the exact weight of the product in the vials to 0.02 grams. Air flow disturbances were negated by a product-specific draft shield. Vibration effects of nearby equipment were filtered out by the load cell and processer. The system was installed in a Class 100 clean room to insure the purity of the product.
The payback:
After one week of operation the company determined they needed a new filling machine. Vials were reworked during the 30 days to install the new filler and the system is operating flawlessly.
Investment – ~$100,000
Savings -~$450,000/year
Payback – three months
Within six months of operation, this system paid for itself AND a second system was installed in the company’s plant in Singapore.
