Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging machine for germ-free packaging.
  • Such packaging machines for a germ-free packaging in Clearverpackungen product must ensure that both the Clearverpackung - for example, a syringe body, a bottle or a tube - as well as the product to be introduced into it - usually a liquid - either germ-free or prepared before packaging a germ-free Reach state, and bottled in this and germ-proof.
  • Such a machine is from the WO 2004/076288 known.
  • the term “germ-free” is understood to mean the degree of sterility desired by the respective user, and the term “sterilizing” is understood to mean the process for achieving this level of sterility.
  • the first packaging which is generally not germ-free, has been brought into a sterilization station after introduction into the packaging machine and, if appropriate, insertion into a transport container or an outer packaging, and subsequently sterilized within the sterile room of the sterilization station Primary packaging filled and this closed. Since this is usually done on separate successively arranged workstations, the sterile room that surrounds all these stations, relatively large dimensions, and above all it is penetrated by a large number of poorly accessible and complicated to be cleaned components, such as conveyors, ducts in the form of cables and hoses, joints, passports etc.
  • a typical case of a production process therefore looks like that the packaging machine is in continuous use and then a cleaning is necessary, which takes at least a full shift.
  • a transport container for ampoules to be filled with medicaments the open top side of which is tightly sealable with a film that is impermeable to germs, but permeable to a sterilizing gas, so that the transport container thus sealed is sterilized by introducing it into an atmosphere of this gas can.
  • the transport container Especially if only the interior of the transport container is kept sterile inside the transport container but after sterilization several steps, such as filling and closing must be performed, which usually take place at separate workstations, the transport container must be germ-tight closed and for performing these steps can be reopened for a limited period of time in a germ-proof environment produced there.
  • the transport containers can be supplied to a plurality of sequential or parallel sterilizing stations, where they are then sterilized for more than one cycle time.
  • Buffering of the arriving transport containers before and / or behind the sterilization stations is also possible for this purpose.
  • the sterilization of the interior of the transport container - which are generally formed trough-shaped with closable top - is preferably carried out by tightly connecting to a sterilizer, for example a patch from above on the trough-shaped transport container sterilization hood.
  • the germ-proof closure, for example a cover, of the transport container must be designed so that it can be opened after the tight connection of the sterilization device, for example the sterilization hood, and can also be closed again.
  • the sterility of the interior of the closed transport container can be facilitated by the interior of the transport container is kept under pressure.
  • the filling and sealing is carried out in the same work station, preferably by the same tool.
  • one of the tools which is to be sterile for example the filling tool or the closing tool, is to be sterilized during the operation of the machine, these tools can be present redundantly, so that one is sterilized while the other is in use.
  • this space will usually not only have to contain the transport container, but also the carriage carrying it. If this carriage is movable along a guideway and / or a track body, this guideway and this track body.
  • the carriage with the transport container preferably passes over at the transition from the non-sterile to the sterile area and vice versa in each case a gap in the guideway and in particular in the guideway bearing track body, so arranged in the gap of the guideway or the track body a bulkhead of the sterile room can be, which can be completely closed until the carriage is retracted with the transport container across the gap in the example lock chamber from the non-sterile space.
  • the plastic tubes are usually filled upside down, ie the closure, filled with the rear end open and then the rear end sealed.
  • the packaging machine according to the invention for carrying out this procedure thus comprises a transport device for linking the workstations of this packaging machine with movable carriages carrying, for example, a transport container into which the open and to be filled primary packs are inserted in a defined position, and at least one sterilization station for sterilization the transport container, in particular together with the empty primary packaging inserted therein.
  • the tools of the other stations which are to work sterile on the primary packaging, in particular the filling tool and the closing tool, must be equipped with a sterilization device which can be connected tightly to the transport containers, so that the filling and sealing can take place under sterile conditions ,
  • the transport container has a germ-tight closing device, in particular on its upper side, which is designed in particular so that it in the open state, the placement of the sterilizer not hindered and in particular can be opened and closed when attached sterilizer.
  • the moving components of the transport container in particular its cover, can be moved without contact from the outside, ie from the carriage or the tool acting on the transport container, for example by means of magnetic force.
  • the interior of the transport container can be kept under an overpressure, possibly even under a negative pressure.
  • an overpressure can be generated either by closing the transport container by means of a movable into the transport container in dense membrane, or by the transport container is acted upon by the carriage with pressure, but preferably not by pumped and purified ambient air, but by pumping a germ-free Inertgases, which is stored in a pressure vessel as an overpressure source in the carriage.
  • Both the sterilization station and the sterile working tools preferably have a hood which can be placed on the transport containers in a manner that is shaped and dimensioned in cooperation with the transport container such that the closing device of the transport container only after the hood has been sealed and sterilizes the outside of this closing device the closure device is opened and the interior of the transport container for processing by the tool - for example, the filling tool or closing tool - is accessible.
  • the filling tool additionally contains a closing tool for the filled primary packaging, so that both working steps can be carried out together in one and the same working position and in the same sterilized room.
  • the space around the entire transport container around has the guideways having web body of the transport device on a gap at the transition between the non-sterile and the sterile space in which a is tightly closable sterile bulkhead, which is only opened to pass a carriage with a transport container.
  • the Figure 1c shows first the trough-shaped transport container 20 in a sectional view, which has four circumferential, drawn up to about the same height side walls and in which already to be filled primary packaging, here in the form of bottles 1, are used.
  • the bottles 1 can be used at predetermined positions in the transport container 20 , a grid grid 27 is inserted into these - preferably form-fitting - which has custom-fit openings for inserting the bottle 1 .

  • FIGS. 1a and b show - in already inserted bottles 1 in the transport container 20 - each also germ-tight placed on the transport container 20 hood 13, which may be differently equipped inside, but serves in both cases the purpose that the interior of the hood 13 and Transport container 20 encompassed interior may be a sterile room 19 , at least when the connection between the two subspaces of hood 13 and transport container 20 is opened, such as in FIG. 1a shown in the left half and in the hood 13 a sterilizer is present.
  • hood 13 is at its open bottom by means of a one-piece or multi-part, preferably hinged to the hood 13 hood cover 24 germ-tight closed and the transport container 20 by means of the mentioned container lid 23rd
  • the two covers 23, 24 are positioned so in the open state that you do not hinder the processing of the standing in the transport container 20 bottles 1, so for example, their filling or closing.
  • FIG. 1 a is arranged inside the hood 13, a filling head 14 , each with a filler neck over each of the bottles 1, which are in the filling position, and which can be lowered down to the bottles 1 .
  • hood 13 Inside the hood 13 further two sterilizing devices 25 are arranged, which are able to sterilize the interior of the hood 13 and optionally the connected transport container 20 and thus to make a sterile space 19 .
  • the container lid 23 of the transport container 20 is closed - possibly after closing the bottles 1 by screwing the caps 22 also in this state - before the hood 13 is lifted so that the transport container 20 thereafter maintaining the sterility in its interior in the capping 6 or a further necessary work station continues, as shown in Fig. 1e.
  • the hood cover 24 of the hood 13 can be closed, if it is present at all, and in this state another sterilization of the interior of the hood 13 are performed.
  • hood 13 has no own hood lid, so after sterilization from the transport container 20 is not sterilized separately, but after the germ-tight placement of the hood 13 is sterilized by means of the sterilization devices 25 , either before opening the container lid 23 or thereafter, or both.
  • FIG. 1a In contrast to FIG. 1a consists of the container lid 23 in FIG. 1b not from two articulated parts, but from two individual, liftable from the transport container 20 container lids 23, the For example, by means of a arranged in the hood 13 mechanism and lifted, and can be spent in an open position within the hood 13 .
