At Pack Expo, we will showcase our Type 535 De-vialer machine, an innovative solution highlighting our ability to cater to unique customer requirements. In response to a specific need from a 503B compounding company, we developed a custom liquid extraction module that efficiently extracts valuable medicines from vials for use in their compounded products. This case study demonstrates how our team actively engaged with the client to understand their manual vial processing and output goals and successfully integrated this liquid extraction module into our proven designs for processing nested containers.
Client Background:
Our client, a 503B compounding company, was challenged to extract valuable medicines from vials for their compounded products. Their current manual process could have been more efficient and resulted in wasting precious medication. They sought an automated solution to extract the medicines precisely and minimize waste to enhance their productivity and ensure optimal output goals.
Understanding Customer Requirements:
Our team began the engagement by closely listening to the client’s needs and understanding their existing manual process. We conducted in-depth consultations with the client’s stakeholders to comprehend their requirements, challenges, and desired outcomes. Through these discussions, we gained valuable insights into their workflow, batch sizes, and the characteristics of the vials and medications.
Design and Development:
Our engineering team designed a tailored solution to meet the client’s unique needs using the information gathered during the discovery phase. The primary objective was to develop a liquid extraction module that integrated seamlessly into our standard Type 535 machine and maximized efficiency while minimizing waste.
The new liquid extraction module was designed with precision to handle various vial sizes and extract valuable medicines without contamination or loss. Special attention was given to ensure compatibility with the client’s compounded products and the need to maintain cleanliness and safety standards in a pharmaceutical setting.
Integration and Testing:
Once the liquid extraction module was developed, it was seamlessly integrated into our Type 535 machine. Extensive testing and quality checks were conducted to verify the module’s performance metrics and ensure it met the client’s output goals. The integrated solution was tested under various scenarios to ensure optimal functionality and reliability.
Results and Benefits:
The successful integration of the liquid extraction module into the Type 535 De-vialer machine yielded remarkable results for our client. The benefits of the custom-designed solution included:
- Increased Efficiency: The automated liquid extraction process significantly reduced processing time, substantially increasing production efficiency for the 503B compounding company.
- Minimized Waste: The precision and accuracy of the liquid extraction module minimized the waste of valuable medicines, thereby saving costs for the client.
- Improved Productivity: The seamless integration of the new module streamlined the workflow, allowing the compounding company to handle larger batch sizes and effectively meet customer demands.
- Enhanced Safety and Quality: The solution adhered to strict pharmaceutical industry standards, ensuring the safety and integrity of the compounded products.
- Customer Satisfaction: By actively listening to the client’s requirements and delivering a tailor-made solution that meets their specific needs, our company demonstrated its commitment to customer satisfaction and building long-term partnerships.
Conclusion:
The Type 535 De-vialer machine, equipped with the custom-designed liquid extraction module, exemplifies our capability to address unique customer requirements and provide innovative solutions. By closely collaborating with the 503B compounding company and understanding their manual process and goals, we successfully delivered a high-performing solution that optimized their liquid extraction process. This case study serves as a testament to our commitment to innovation, efficiency, and customer-centricity in the design and development of our packaging machines.
