From micro-dosing pharmaceutical powders to controlled dispensing of biological materials and high-throughput liquid filling processes, our automation solutions are engineered to deliver stable, reliable dosing across a wide range of manufacturing applications.
Manufacturers often face challenges such as:
Achieving high dosing accuracy at production speeds
Handling powders, liquids, pastes, or biological materials with different flow characteristics
Maintaining contamination control and cleanroom compatibility
Ensuring reliable filling of small or complex product cavities
Maintaining dose consistency across large production volumes
We overcome these challenges by combining specialised dosing technologies with robust mechanical platforms and precise process control.
Our Filling & Dosing Capabilities
Our automation platforms integrate a range of filling and dosing technologies designed to match the physical characteristics of the material and the product being manufactured.
- Powder Micro-Dosing: High-precision dosing systems capable of delivering small quantities of powder into product cavities or containers. These systems are commonly used for pharmaceutical powders and inhalation products where dose accuracy is critical.
- Liquid Dispensing: Controlled dispensing systems for liquids, reagents, adhesives, and other fluid materials. Our automation integrates precision pumps, valve systems, and controlled dispensing heads to ensure accurate material delivery.
- Micro-Dispensing of Biological Materials: Automation systems capable of depositing enzymes, biosensor materials, and other biological substances in highly controlled quantities for medical and diagnostic applications.
- Multi-Stage Filling Processes: Complex products may require multiple filling operations throughout the manufacturing process. Our systems integrate filling and dosing modules within broader automation platforms to ensure correct timing and product alignment.
- In-Line Dose Verification: To ensure process reliability, our systems often integrate inspection and verification technologies that confirm dosing accuracy and detect potential process deviations.
Filling and Dosing Across Different Product Types
Different products require different dosing techniques depending on material properties, product geometry, and manufacturing requirements. Our automation systems are engineered around these factors to ensure reliable performance.
Pharmaceutical Powder Dosing: In dry powder inhaler manufacturing, accurate dosing of pharmaceutical powders is critical to ensure consistent drug delivery. Our automation platforms dose powder directly into pre-formed blister cavities using precision-controlled mechanisms that maintain clean sealing surfaces and accurate dose delivery.
Laboratory-Scale Powder Dosing: During early-stage pharmaceutical development, precise micro-dosing is required to validate formulations and dosing methods. Our lab-scale equipment enables repeatable dosing of small powder quantities for research, clinical development and process validation before full-scale production systems are implemented.
Biosensor and Enzyme Dispensing: Wearable medical devices and biosensors often require controlled deposition of biological materials during manufacturing. Our automation systems integrate micro-dispensing technologies capable of delivering precise quantities of enzymes or reagents while maintaining stable production conditions.
Diagnostic Device Reagent Filling: Diagnostic devices and test kits often require precise dosing of reagents or chemical components during assembly. Our automation integrates filling systems capable of accurately dispensing these materials into diagnostic cartridges, test strips, and biosensor components.
Integrated Filling and Dosing within Automated Production Lines
Filling and dosing rarely exist as standalone operations. In most manufacturing systems, dosing processes must be synchronised with multiple other production stages.
Our automation platforms integrate filling and dosing with:
- Product handling and positioning systems
- Product assembly automation
- Web converting processes
- Inspection and quality verification systems
- Packaging and sealing operations
By designing these processes as part of a single automation system, we ensure that materials are dispensed accurately while maintaining stable product flow and production efficiency.
