Smart DB Aseptic Processing

Machine overview

Multipurpose bag-filling made smart

Sterile bags have many applications in the pharma market and we provide high-speed turnkey solutions starting from the automatic loading and decontamination of the sterile empty bags up to their final collection.
Working with flexible materials used in sterile bags does not contribute to making an aseptic filling process perfectly repeatable. Along the DB2 processing line, groups feature special technical solutions to overcome the non-repeatability issue, and SMART DB2 accomplishes liquid and powder filling operations of multi-chamber, Ready-To-Use sterile bags. The first filling process is made with powder drugs by means of dosing disks. The second filling process is made with liquid products, by means of mass-flow technology.
The integrated CIP/SIP system allows cleaning and sterilisation-in-place procedures of both liquid and powder products, according to authority guidelines, minimising the need to remove and autoclave parts, and granting adequate SAL (Sterilisation Assurance Level).

Machine highlights


  1. Liquid/powder capacity

    Suitable for high-batch production, up to 42 bags/min., with a liquid filling volume of 50ml and 3.5 grams for the powder section. Bag size is defined to suit customer requirements at an early project stage.


  2. Minimum human intervention

    Major activities/issues solved through robot interactions.


  3. Check-weighing

    Automatic 100% liquid and powder tare and gross check-weighing of the bags.


  4. Isolated processing

    Whole line contained under isolation technology to avoid any contamination risk and maintain the sterility class.


  5. CIP/SIP

    Both powder filling and liquid filling systems are cleaned and sterilised by integrated CIP/SIP technology.

Aseptic conditions

Automated devices, robotic technologies and physical barriers are implemented to minimise operator intervention and maintain aseptic conditions.
