A medication container for a liquid vaccine can use plastic instead of glass thanks to ZAHORANSKY's advanced injection mold tooling and manufacturing equipment. This is accompanied - due to the elimination of the risk of breakage - by advantages in storage and handling in doctors' offices, laboratories, hospitals, as well as in emer[1]gency medical services. The special feature: In this special application, sterilization could be completely dispensed, since the product runs directly into aseptic filling after production via injection stretch blow molding - a novelty in this area.

Continuous aseptic production

To ensure the aseptic production of this special product, the injection stretch blow molding tool and the assembly unit work together in a class 6 clean room cell. The vial is removed directly from the injection molding chamber and sealed without leaving the sterile environment.
In the next steps, the pre-assembled container is ejected from the system, transported to the filling system via a transport unit, filled and finally fed to the packaging machine.
The continuous aseptic production of the main components eliminates the washing, drying, testing and sterilization processes otherwise required for glass, resulting in considerable cost savings.
