Patent for a Device for Flexibly Treating Packages
Taylor IP obtains patent for client SCHOTT Pharma AG on a Device for Flexibly Treating Pharmaceutical Packages
This patented method and device is for a way to handle, transport, and fill different types of containers used for medical, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic products. The system uses box-shaped containers to transport and hold smaller containers on supports. The transport containers have a specific height range allowing various containers to be processed in the same packaging, regardless of their specific dimensions or volume. A conveyor system moves these transport containers to a processing station where the containers are filled with substances. This system doesn’t require any height adjustment, meaning different container types can be processed without changing equipment settings.
Additionally, the method of treating pharmaceutical packages positions the containers at a constant height, which simplifies filling since the needles of the filling device only need to reach a single set height. Since all container types fit into the transport containers at the same height, the filling device can work efficiently with different sizes and shapes without modification.
Overall, this design streamlines the packaging, transport, and filling process for pharmaceutical containers, ensuring consistency and saving time by eliminating the need for adjustments between container types.
