One word sums up current developments in liquid filling systems: flexibility. Manufacturers and contract packers want to be sure the filling equipment they invest in is going to be future-proof and able to fill a variety of products into a variety of containers. Peter Kierans, sales director of Optima Group Pharma UK, says: "Today, different types of filling system can be used on the same machine frame. So the filling system can be changed if a new product is introduced on the line, and even between shifts or production runs. Some of our pharmaceutical machines are even able to switch between filling systems for liquid and powder products. "In the cosmetics industry it's also of great importance that all kinds of jars and bottles can be run on the same machine, as designs change frequently." He says this requirement for flexibility is driving demand from cosmetic manufacturers for filling systems that incorporate CIP (clean-in-place) or SIP (sterilise-in-place) systems. "Product changeovers happen much faster if the piston or other filling system stays at the machine," he says.
