01 · Technology Choice

BFS or Bottle Molding?

The project examined two different routes for manufacturing plastic IV containers before defining the production approach.

01

Blow-Fill-Seal

BFS forms, fills and seals the container within one integrated machine. Machine options were reviewed as part of the project.

02

PP Bottle Route

Injection stretch blow molding creates the bottle first, followed by a separate filling operation. Mould sets for 500 mL and 1,000 mL containers were documented.

02 · What Was Involved

From Raw Material to Qualification Planning

01

BFS Machine Review

Alternative BFS configurations reviewed for the programme.

02

Container Moulds

Mould sets for 500 mL and 1,000 mL plastic IV bottles.

03

Pharma-Grade PP

Polypropylene raw material arranged for pharmaceutical container production.

04

URS & Capacity

User requirements and production capacity form the selection basis.

05

Water & Preparation

Supporting pharmaceutical water and solution-preparation design.

06

Sterilisation

Sterilisation and inspection integrated into the concept.

07

Cleanroom & HVAC

Environmental-control requirements around production.

08

Validation & Training

Qualification, technology transfer and after-sales support.

04 · Material Strategy

Pharma-Grade PP as Part of the Production Design

Pharma-grade polypropylene granules were arranged for container production, making raw-material selection and traceability part of the manufacturing strategy.

500 mL

One documented IV container size.

1,000 mL

Larger documented IV container format.

Two Technology Routes

BFS and bottle molding considered against requirements.
