Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine arrangement and a method for filling and closing containers, in particular pharmaceutical containers such as vials, syringes or small bottles or the like.
  • Machine arrangements for filling and closing containers are known from the state of the art in various designs.
  • pharmaceutical sector there is a clear trend towards small batch filling, as new or personalized oncology or autoimmune therapies require an individual composition of pharmaceutical products.
  • Previous machine concepts for filling and closing containers are usually based on a series arrangement in which the container passes through several processing stations in a row, with transport or handling steps being necessary between the individual stations.
  • Such a machine arrangement is known, for example, from the EP2280873B1
  • machine arrangements are rather unsuitable for small batch applications, since the known machine arrangements are designed for large throughput quantities.
  • EN 10 2006 039 120 A1 discloses a machine arrangement with features of claim 1.
  • the machine arrangement according to the invention with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that a very compact and cost-effective design is possible.
  • the area required by the machine arrangement is significantly reduced compared to the prior art.
  • the cycle times for filling and closing the containers can be significantly reduced compared to the prior art.
  • empty runs of handling devices are minimized or completely eliminated.
  • the machine arrangement according to the invention has increased flexibility and can handle individually fed containers without any conversion measures or also handle containers that can be removed in a format template, for example a tray or the like. This is achieved according to the invention in that the machine arrangement has a processing station for filling and closing containers and a handling device for loading and unloading the containers in and out of the machine arrangement.
  • the handling device is set up to feed containers into and remove them from one side of the machine arrangement. This significantly reduces the so-called footprint of the machine compared to the continuous machines used previously.
  • the processing station has at least one work area for receiving a container, where the container is filled and closed.
  • the processing station also has a storage area where the filled and closed container is temporarily stored.
  • the handling device is designed to feed empty containers to the processing station and to remove filled and closed containers from the storage area. Since the handling device is designed to feed and remove the containers from one side of the machine arrangement, significantly reduced cycle times can be achieved and, in particular, empty runs can be avoided, and format parts and space requirements, in particular a footprint, can be optimized.
  • the processing station further comprises a weighing station for weighing empty and/or filled containers.
  • the weighing station is preferably arranged directly at the filling station so that the weighing process can be carried out during the filling process.
  • the processing station further preferably comprises an inspection device for checking the condition of the empty and/or filled containers.
  • the inspection device is preferably a visual inspection device, for example camera-based.
  • the machine arrangement further preferably comprises a format holder with several receiving locations for individual containers. Preferably, four receiving locations are provided in the format holder. Particularly preferably, two receiving locations are provided for empty containers which are filled and closed, and two receiving locations for containers which are already filled and closed.
  • the number of processing positions in the processing station is half as large as the number of receiving positions in the format holder. This means that if there are a total of four receiving positions in the format holder, the processing station has exactly two workstations.
  • the holding device preferably has a plurality of individually controllable grippers, the number of grippers being equal to the number of processing stations and/or the number of object positions in the processing station. This enables individual control of grippers and thus handling of individual containers.
  • the handling device is preferably a robot arm or alternatively a transport carriage.
  • One or more manipulator towers are preferably provided on the transport carriage.
  • the manipulator towers can also be arranged so that they can rotate, in particular by 90°.
  • a turning station with at least two, preferably at least four, receiving locations for containers is preferably provided, with one of the receiving locations forming the storage area for the intermediate storage of filled and closed containers.
  • the turning station is preferably set up to receive the entire format holder with several receiving locations and to turn it by 180°.
  • the machine arrangement further preferably comprises a closed housing with a first lock.
  • the empty containers are fed into the housing via the first lock and the filled and closed containers are removed via the first lock.
  • Such a machine arrangement is used in particular in the pharmaceutical sector. If necessary, the interior of the housing can be designed to be sterile.
  • the machine arrangement further preferably comprises a second lock, wherein empty containers are fed into the housing via the second lock and the filled and closed containers are discharged via the second lock. Containers can thus be fed into and discharged from the housing from two sides.
  • the machine arrangement further comprises a control device which is set up to be operated in one of three operating modes depending on a type of container and/or a type of feed.
  • a first operating mode is designed such that empty containers are fed into the housing of the machine arrangement through the first lock and filled and sealed containers are discharged from the machine arrangement through the first lock.
  • a second operating mode is designed such that empty containers are fed into the housing of the machine arrangement through this second lock and filled and sealed containers are discharged from the machine arrangement again through the second lock.
  • a third operating mode is further designed such that empty containers are fed into the housing of the machine arrangement through one of the two locks and filled and sealed containers are discharged from the machine arrangement through the other of the two locks.
  • the machine arrangement comprises a first and a second additional module, wherein the first additional module is arranged at the first lock and the second additional module is arranged at the second lock is.
  • the first additional module is set up to handle format holders for holding a large number of containers.
  • the second additional module is set up to handle only individual containers. This makes it possible, for example, for containers which are in a format holder, e.g. a tray, with a large number of openings for holding a large number of containers to be processed via the first additional module, and for individual or isolated containers to be further processed via the second additional module by the machine arrangement. It is therefore possible to process both larger batches and small batches with a single machine arrangement by feeding them via the different additional modules.
  • the prior art always required several machine arrangements for this, with each of the several machine arrangements only being able to process either containers from format holders or individual containers.
  • the containers are preferably vials, syringes, cartridges, small containers, special containers or the like.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for filling and closing containers, in particular pharmaceutical containers, in a processing station of a machine arrangement according to the above statements, which can be carried out in one of three operating modes.
  • a first operating mode is designed such that containers are fed into the housing of the machine arrangement through the first lock and filled and closed containers are discharged from the machine arrangement again through the first lock.
  • a second operating mode is designed to introduce containers into the housing of the machine arrangement through the second lock and to remove filled and closed containers from the machine arrangement through this second lock.
  • a third operating mode is designed to introduce empty containers into the housing of the machine arrangement through the first lock and to remove filled and sealed containers from the housing of the machine arrangement through the second lock. machine arrangement. This allows the flow principle to be implemented on the machine arrangement.
  • lock it should be noted that according to the invention this is understood to mean both locks for clean room applications in which undesirable contamination of the clean room inside the housing of the machine arrangement is to be avoided, as well as, in particular, closable openings in housings through which containers can be introduced into the housing and removed from the housing again.
