STERI LIF3 Aseptic Processing

Machine overview

Ready to fill

The number of specialised injectable and infusion medications in the healthcare marketplace has surged in the last few years and requires patient-centred, safe and flexible production methods. STERI LIF3 ensures these requirements.
STERI LIF3 is a fully automatic filling/stoppering and capping machine to process nested syringes, vials & cartridges and efficiently responds to the increasing market demand for higher numbers of small batches in different container formats. STERI LIF3 uses robotic, isolator-barrier systems, and single-use disposables. It combines filling, stoppering and capping operations, minimising space and preserving sterility requirements.

Machine highlights

  1. High yields

    Extremely precise filling operations for high product yield.

  2. 100% IPC

    100% and statistical IPC.

  3. Multiple dosing

    Multiple dosing options at up to 1200 pcs/h.

  4. Easy upgrade

    Can integrate with automated upstream de-bagging and de-lidding processes.

  5. Capping

    Integrated capping station for vials.

  6. Brushless technology

    Completely brushless driven.

  7. Sanitisation

    Ideal for exposure to H2O2 sanitisation.

  8. Zero cross-contamination

    Capping station segregated from filling and stoppering area to avoid cross-contamination.

High flexibility

Flexible and repeatable filling are becoming more crucial due to changes in the pharmaceutical industry. That happens best with a closed robotic filling system. STERI LIF3 robotic arms offer repeatability with the flexibility to easily change the process or the type of container being filled.
