Filling and closing machines for ready-to-use vials
NJM Packaging
The Dara NFL/2-RDL aseptic filling and closing machine for ready-to-use vials (photo) handles nests of pre-sterilized vials and avoids the crimping required with traditional aluminum closures. This fully servo-driven system streamlines packaging operations to minimize equipment footprint and changeover time. The Dara NFL/2-RDL can be used from scaleup through small-batch commercial manufacturing. Utilizing ready-to-use vials simplifies small-scale production by eliminating the need for a washer and depyrogenation tunnel, according to the manufacturer. NFL/2-RDL systems are designed to seal vials with ARaymondlife’s patented RayDyLyo caps, which are pre-assembled plastic closures featuring a rubber stopper within the cap to minimize the “pop-off” effect and eliminate the risk of stoppers adhering to freeze-dryer plates. RayDyLyo closures come in 13- and 20-mm sizes. Booth 2353 — NJM Packaging, Lebanon, N.H.
