The Blow-Fill-Seal Technique has been developed so that formation of the container, filling and sealing takes place
in a single machine under a controlled environment that enables the packaging of a pharmaceutical
liquid in an aseptic manner.
The following picture show the major phases in the integrated packaging of parenteral solutions using
the AFP® system.
As the container is made, filled and sealed within a single machine and the process is protected using a sterile air shower and additionally, all process media (solution, air etc.) are sterile filtered, the chanceof contamination is very remote. Adding to the fact that during the whole cycle, open containers remain exposed to the clean room air for less than 1.5 seconds, the Blow-Fill-Seal technology becomes
the process of choice where contamination of particle matter and microbial contamination is a primary concern.
In order to meet the different customers' requirements, SPM has developed an extensive machine program for bottle and ampoule manufacturing including machines with one mould and two moulds.
The machine can fill the plastic container parenterals such as Large Volume Parenterals (LVP),Small Volume Parenterals (SVP) and Eye, Ear, Nose Care Products.
BFS technical advantages:
(1) Can avoid operator interference of aseptic production as possible as he can; can provide a higher level of sterility level protection;
(2) Compact modular installation can make the clean room area greatly reduced;
(3) Isolation and other technologies can reduce the level of its installation environment;
(4) Computer and other control methods can realize a highly automated production;
(5) Can be fully integrated with its previous and next production systems, can realize multiple
production systems automatically and linkage operation.
BFS technology is a kind of sterilized filling technology, the machine can complete blowing, filling and sealing process in a single process under the sterile state. In other words, if provide qualified liquid
and plastic particles from the outside into the BFS machine, it will be able to produce filled and qualified liquid in plastic bottles.
Comparing with the two-step method, there is no need to make and store empty bottles for
this technology, it can provide stronger guarantee for sterile. Compared with the traditional glass bottle technology, there is no need to clean bottles and rubber plugs, no need to sterilize, so it can save
water, steam and energy. It can also reduce human mistakes. Moreover the raw material PP and PE are high quality, stable and reliable, they are more suitable for drug packaging. The performance
between BFS plastic bottle and glass bottles are as follows:
Item | Plastic bottles | Glass bottles |
Impact resistance | Not easy to damage | Easy to damage |
Weight | Lighter | Heavier |
Production method | simple | Complex |
xenembole | Very little possibility | possible |
Metal ion dissolution | No | Yes |
Transportation | Easy | Not easy |
Security signs | Security signs and trademarks can be molded through the mold | Not easy |
Shape | Many | A little |
