Each BFS process begins with the extrusion of a sterile polymer directly inside the installation. The recipient is then moulded, filled, sealed and released from the mould, all in a single process within a closed system and with no external involvement. This avoids costly logistics and long cleaning and sterilisation processes for prefabricated recipients
All filling processes, including the dosing system, are designed with CIP/SIP in mind. This means that all product feeding lines are cleaned, sterilised with pressurised steam and air dried through sterile filters, all using automatic programs. This makes bottle pack technology the safest aseptic filling method
The opened blow mould accepts the plastic extruded from the polymer. The main mould closes and simultaneously seals the bottom of the vial. The special mandrel unit sits above the neck area, shaping the extruded sleeve into a vial using compressed air and vacuum
The mandrel unit fills the vial with the product, which is precisely measured using the dosing unit
Once the special mandrel unit retracts the head mould closes and forms the required seal by vacuum
