Turntable Machine Packages Prefilled Syringes

Implementing new equipment for a customer packaging prefilled syringes, Sharp implemented a machine offering energy efficiency, flexibility, and easy handling.

The syringes and needles that Sharp packs are manually inserted into preformed, automatically fed blisters on the KDT medplus.

With over 65 years in business, Sharp is a contract packaging company offering assembly, labeling, and packaging of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products.

They sought a new system for packaging filled syringes, with high cost-effectiveness, maximum flexibility, and easy handling as priorities.

The contract packager selected a line based around the KDT medplus® turntable machine from KOCH Pac-Systeme from Pfalzgrafenweiler in the Black Forest. The KDT is a compact, GMP-compliant system for the safe handling of sensitive medical technology products.

"We held talks with three potential suppliers for this project," explains Toon Verstraeten, project engineer at Sharp Packaging in Hamont-Achel, Belgium, where the machine would be installed. "KOCH delivered the best concept—both in terms of the line itself, as well as the support and overall pricing. We had an extremely ambitious schedule due to our customer's deadline, as well as the additional challenge presented by the Covid pandemic. KOCH was highly motivated and flexible in supporting our aims.”
