At a pharmaceutical manufacturer, bottles had previously been filled manually. The aim was therefore to realise a compact and mobile filling unit which would enable large quantities of empty bottles to be buffered and the filling process to be automated
Precision and Cleanliness
Medical and Pharma technology are the most innovative sectors of the German economy. The degree of automation in this sector and the transparency of processes have a direct effect on production times and costs. However, automation is not just about saving valuable resources; it also helps to avoid sources of errors. That is a crucial factor in medtech especially, which is bound to international standards and regulations like no other industry.
Practical examples
Working in technically clean environments and cleanrooms is a basic requirement in the field of medical technology. Constructions such as machine frames, protective device guards, workstations and conveyor systems have to meet the requirements of the applicable cleanliness class. The mk aluminium profile system offers the comprehensive solution in this regard. Easy-to-clean profile geometries and high-quality anodised finishes meet the stringent hygiene requirements of the industry. With these features as a basis, mk also offers conveyor technology that can easily be adapted to customer-specific production requirements in the medical technology industry, and enables the precise and gentle handling of sensitive medical components.
A pharmaceutical manufacturer was faced with the challenge of assembling heavy and precision-critical reciprocating pumps safely and ergonomically during the set-up process. A specially developed mounting support provides a solution and not only increases process reliability but also improves…
A pharmaceuticals manufacturer is searching for a conveyor system for very small and delicate glass ampules, which have to be gently, securely and stably transported from various filling plants for labelling.
A medical products manufacturer requires a conveyor system as supply and discharge for a packaging machine for roll plasters.

A manufacturer of high-cost pharmaceutical products transports plastic ampoules on a belt conveyor from the filling and labelling stations to a system for testing the fill level and leak tightness. In the event of a standstill of the test system, abrupt stoppage of the previous production is to be…
A manufacturer of medical tests is building a machine for producing rapid coronavirus antibody tests. The machine can produce 40 tests per minute. For this purpose, the customer requires a pallet circulation system on which the tests can be assembled by robots fully automatically.
An interlinked system that meets the specifications for technical cleanliness is required for the production of syringes. The syringes are placed on the conveyor technology from the preceding machine and then have to be transported through a fire protection hatch.
Task
mk must deliver a large number of conveyors to a longtime customer in a short time frame. The conveyors are needed for a plant that must produce up to 100 respirator masks per minute in a fully automatic process. As the demand for such plants is extremely high due to the spread of the…
Task
Glass vials must be stored and buffered after being filled for a pharmaceutical manufacturer. The vials must be separated during an additional step and then transferred to the line prior to being fed for sealing, labelling and scanning. Since the vials have been filled, but not yet sealed,…
