Smart PWD Series Aseptic Processing

Machine overview

Breaking new ground in powder processing

Today certain bacteria have developed resistance to antibiotics that were once commonly used to treat them. Such bacteria survive and even multiply in the presence of an exisiting antibiotic. The implementation of more powerful, new-generation antibiotics, and new aseptic technologies, like SMART PWD contribute to solving this serious health issue.
Our SMART PWD is the straightforward solution to comply with this crucial issue, able not only to process difficult powders accurately, but also to simultaneously dose, by vacuum-pressure, two different types of pharmaceutical products inside the same vial with single 100% check-weighing.

Machine highlights


  1. Filling method

    Vacuum-pressure powder filling system.


  2. Two powders in one vial 

    Possibility of dosing up to 2 different pharmaceutical powders in the same vial.


  3. 100% IPC

    Advanced 100% IPC with speeds of up to 150 pcs/min.


  4. Stoppering system

    Pick & place stoppering system.


  5. Capping station

    Possible integration of a capping station.


  6. Isolation technology

    Fit for isolation technology with possibility of wetting in place.


  7. Containment

    cRABS for powder containment with Recirculating LAF with controlled temperature and humidity.

Stoppering system

Stoppers are picked up by a quick-release pick & place vacuum-assisted arm, and placed onto the vial’s mouth. The pick & place system is controlled by brushless motors and configured for each vial size. Stoppering and (possible) integrated capping operations are performed at full operating speeds.
