The handling and transport of pre-filled syringes (PFS) in nest & tub systems place high demands on conveyor technology. Precise product guidance, maximum product protection, and stable process integration are crucial. Montech offers flexible conveyor solutions that can be optimally integrated into existing system concepts.
Nest & tub systems must be handled reliably, accurately, and reproducibly in automated pharmaceutical production processes. The goal is to reliably feed sensitive products into the processing system, transport them consistently, and minimize mechanical stress. At the same time, compact machine layouts require conveyor technology that can be flexibly integrated into existing system concepts. For a machine manufacturer in the pharmaceutical industry, Montech designed a conveyor solution based on the TB30 belt conveyor. This Swiss technology company has specialized in the industrialization and standardization of advanced belt conveyors, transfer systems, and aluminum framing technology for over 60 years.
Process-safe conveying of sensitive products
Montech used semi-standardized TB30 belt conveyors to implement the application. The conveyor solution combines brushless drives with low-friction belts, enabling even movement of the nest & tub systems, even with sensitive products and high process requirements. Montech has integrated side guides specifically designed for medical and pharmaceutical applications for precise product guidance. These can be flexibly adapted to different formats and ensure stable guidance of the products along the entire conveying process. At the same time, the components used are easy to clean and low-maintenance.
Flexible solution for demanding applications
The modular design of these belt conveyors enables easy integration into existing machines and systems. As a result, infeed and outfeed can be implemented in a space-saving, efficient manner. The combination of standardized components and customer-specific adaptability offers particular advantages for machine manufacturers, as it reduces project planning time and enables flexible implementation of individual requirements. At the same time, Montech’s short delivery times and great configuration flexibility ensure the cost-effective realization of demanding applications in the pharmaceutical and medical technology industries.
