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.
The system picks the containers and automatically places them inside trays or blisters
Siliconization
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.
Siliconization Line
Watch Video
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.
siliconization
Optimizing control of the process through precise automation, our siliconization lines are designed to:
• Increase gliding performance between the glass and internal components (e.g. rubber parts) • Improve the flow of liquid solutions inside the container, reducing “dead volume” concerns • Reduce the interactions between the pharmaceutical product and glass container • Process the most common sprayed materials: silicon emulsion or silicon oil
Features
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
