flexcare 100: Processing of OTC products, diagnostics and dietary supplements
Ready engineered: Our flexcare 100 was developed, designed and implemented with your needs in mind and implemented in such a way that it offers you maximum flexibility and absolutely reliable process flows.
The high level of flexibility and availability is ensured, among other things, by the quick and tool-free format part change. This allows you to process a wide range of products on one system with minimal downtime. All parts of the system are easily accessible and can be cleaned without any problems.
The machine can be customized to your requirements – a wide variety of functions can be implemented, such as multi-stage gassing, filling, and weight control. Different types of closures are also no problem for this system.
The simple realization of batch and audit trail logs facilitates the GMP-relevant documentation of production data.
Highlights of the flexcare 100
- Maximum flexibility on a machine with maximum efficiency
- All primary packaging functions on a small foot print
- Fast and precise filling thanks to improved process technology
- Optional 100% weight monitoring reduces personnel costs and ensures quality

100% in-process control
The objects are transported steadily through the system using transport rakes, enabling fully automatic weight control to be implemented without any problems.
Two weighing cells are usually installed. The clocked rake transport allows the tare weight and then the gross weight of each bottle to be determined before filling. This determines the net weight so that incorrectly filled objects can be sorted out via a reject chute.
All common filling systems
The filling station of our flexcare machine is designed to be so flexible that all common filling systems can be used. Which one you want to use depends entirely on the product being processed.
We work with volumetric rotary piston pumps made of stainless steel for manual cleaning or with CIP/SIP-compatible pumps made of ceramic. We also use a mass flow meter that can be used for small and large filling volumes. Another option is peristaltic pumps, which can also be used with disposable hose systems.
Moving filling needles
The filling needles move with the objects during the filling process; this allows more time for the actual filling process without having to stop the movement through the system. In this way, larger filling volumes can be achieved even at high output rates.
During the filling process, the needle also follows the fill level in the containers, thus preventing foaming and dripping and further increasing process reliability.
Easy-to-clean machine design
Line cleaning and line clearance are important to us: during the design phase, we paid particular attention to ensuring that the machine is easily accessible and can be cleaned ergonomically. When changing batches, the clear view allows all objects to be reliably and safely removed from the system.
Multifunctional sealing units
The multifunctional capping units of the flexcare 100 can easily process a wide variety of closures. We offer three different capping stations for different types of closures: for droppers or stoppers that are set in place, for screw caps and crimp caps or spray pumps with riser tubes that are closed and screwed on with servo motors, and finally for caps that are placed on top.
Output of up to 120 pieces per minute
At its highest configuration level, our flexcare series has an output capacity of up to 120 bottles per minute; the specific value naturally also depends on the filling volume of the bottle and the capping process.
Frameless doors
Door frames were deliberately avoided as far as possible in order to ensure an optimal view of the ongoing processes at all times.
