Germany-based processing and packaging equipment supplier Romaco is extending its Macofar LF 200 product family with two more models for filling liquids into glass and plastic bottles at high speeds.
The new Macofar LF 200 FD and LF 200 FS series were specially developed for bottling pharmaceutical liquids, and were completed just in time for the Pharmintech exhibition in Bologna, Italy, 17-19 April 2013.
The Romaco LF 200 family now comprises five different models for the gentle and efficient filling of a variety of applications of “almost any viscosity”.
The new Macofar LF 200 FD is used for high-speed filling of pharmaceutical sprays, nose and ear drops as well as ophthalmics and syrups. The machine boasts a maximum output of 12,000 bottles an hour with a filling volume of up to 100ml.
With an “extremely flexible” dual closure system, the LF 200 FD is equipped with two closing stations and is capable of handling a wide range of closure types, including pipettes, droppers, dosing cups, spray pumps, plugs, plungers and screw caps.
The Macofar LF 200 FS is another new model belonging to the same family as the Macofar LF 200 FD. Romaco’s FS machines were specially designed for applications with a single closure system such as pump, pilfer-proof, child-proof, screw or press-on caps.
The Macofar LF 200 FS also fills the containers in a continuous process at a maximum rate of 12,000 bottles an hour, and is particularly suited for processing pharmaceutical liquids that are orally administered or applied to mucous membranes.
Servo-controlled processes assure safe and reliable handling throughout the filling and closing operations. Divided into two business areas for Processing and Packaging, Romaco develops system solutions for the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and chemical industries.
