Built to meet the stringent requirements of GMP, ISO 13485, and FDA regulations, our lines ensure every packaged kit is reliable, tamper-evident, and ready for clinical use. Leveraging over three decades of packaging automation expertise, Packmate delivers robust solutions that maximize productivity, minimize human intervention, and guarantee consistent, contamination-free output for the most sensitive medical products.

Product Features

The core of our Automated Packaging Lines is precision engineering and unwavering reliability, integrating advanced technologies to solve the unique challenges of diagnostic packaging.

• High-Precision Dosing & Filling: Incorporates ultra-accurate auger, volumetric, or weigh-filling systems. Designed with anti-static and cleanroom-compatible features to handle hygroscopic or electrostatic diagnostic powders and granules, ensuring dose accuracy within ±1%.
• Aseptic & Contamination-Free Environment: Configurable with integrated laminar airflow (LAF) units, HEPA filtration, and positive pressure chambers to maintain ISO Class 5-7 cleanroom conditions, effectively preventing particulate and microbial contamination.
• Advanced Film Handling & Sealing: Utilizes medical-grade, high-barrier laminates (e.g., ALU/PE, PET/ALU/PE). Features continuous motion, multi-track sealing jaws with precise temperature control for hermetic, leak-proof seals that ensure long-term stability and sterility of sensitive contents.
• Integrated Vision Inspection & Traceability: Equipped with high-resolution CCD cameras for 100% inline inspection of fill level, seal integrity, print quality, and contaminants. Supports 2D barcode printing, reading, and data matrix verification for complete track-and-trace, compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
• Flexible & Quick Changeover: Engineered for rapid format change between sachet and stick pack sizes with tool-less adjustments and recipe-driven PLC controls, drastically minimizing downtime in multi-product manufacturing facilities.
• Complete Turnkey Solution: Packmate provides a fully synchronized line including automatic feeding, filling, sealing, coding, inspection, and secondary packaging, all controlled via a central MES-ready PLC for seamless operation and comprehensive data acquisition.
