Stevanato Group glass converting lines come as a turnkey package, including the forming unit and other process equipment, or as stand-alone modules. Completely automatic washing equipment to remove particles from the glass and reduce cosmetic defects is also available. Click on the modules below to learn more.
| 1. TUBE LOADERS | Continuous-feeding glass tube loader: high reliability with limited human intervention |
| 2. DIMENSIONAL AND COSMETIC CONTROLS | 100% inline controls to ensure the highest quality standards |
| 3. AFTERFORMING LINE | Gentle handling to the annealing oven, granting unaltered cosmetic quality and mechanical features |
| 4. ANNEALING OVENS | Devised to guarantee an optimal thermal profile: highly performing and completely safe for the operators |
| 5. AUTOMATIC PACKING MACHINES | The system picks the containers and automatically places them inside trays or blisters |
Siliconization is a critical operation that influences container performance: distribution must be
optimized and monitored to ensure a safe and effective administration to the patient and to
guarantee drug quality.
Silicone, in the form of emulsions and/or oil, is primarily used as a lubricant. When applied to vials, its hydrophobic properties ensure a high restitution rate down to the last drop of product.
Moreover, the silicone layer minimizes the interactions between the product and the glass container, and prevents certain products from sticking to the internal surface, making the glass appear perfectly transparent.
Optimizing control of the process through precise automation, our siliconization lines are designed to:
Pre-heated with an electrical heating system
Independent delivery system for each spray nozzle
Volumetric pumps for silicone dose accuracy
Silicone spray nozzle and air flows to uniformly spread the silicone along the internal surface of the glass product
Baking lehr with electrical or gas heating system. The baking lehr can be installed on the siliconization line or be an independent unit, depending on the type of silicone used
