YPS supplies packaging line for pharmaceutical plastic converter

A manufacturer of rigid plastics for health & pharmaceutical applications has purchased a new packaging line from Yorkshire Packaging Systems (YPS).

The new line was supplied along with a full package of installation, commissioning, training and ongoing engineering support.

The manufacturer was setting up a new production facility in the UK, moving production from overseas.

Common in pharmaceutical and healthcare production, the new facility had to meet the stringent requirements of an ISO class 7 cleanroom, including requirements related to air flow, air quality and temperature & humidity control.

The standard also specifies that equipment must be selected to help meet these requirements.

The new packaging line consists of a Pratika 56 MPE X l-sealer and double chamber shrink tunnel. This particular model of l-sealer is servo-driven with no requirement for compressed air, which is therefore helpful in meeting Class 7 requirements related to air flow control.

“The manufacturer is known for its innovative approach, using leading technology to be ahead of its field. Their new packaging system had to meet both their class 7 requirements and their high general standards and we’ve been delighted that they’ve been so happy with the equipment and service that we’ve provided for them.”
