ASEP-TECH Blow/Fill/Seal machines are designed and manufactured by Weiler Engineering, Inc. in Elgin, Illinois. Our team is dedicated to the highest performance standards in the design and development of blow/fill/seal packaging systems. This unique combination of world-class engineering, leading-edge automation and process design, assures years of reliable, high quality production.
The fabrication techniques and manufacturing methods employed in every custom-built machine reflect the finest state-of-the-art practices available in today`s machine building environment. Our factory acceptance testing (FAT) procedure incorporates a pre-validation documentation package (PIQ, POQ) that is provided with each machine to assist you with your own on-site validation program. Introductory training is provided at our facility during your machine factory acceptance trials. During commissioning at your plant, hands-on instruction in all aspects of machine operation and maintenance is provided to your operating personnel. This in-house training is integral to the long-term success of your manufacturing operation.
Complete System Capabilities
Our mold designs have evolved from years of experience that incorporate features to enhance flexibility and ease of use. These modular designs can create a family of container sizes simply by changing mold inserts. Custom engraving and coding can be included to provide specific product information, such as lot number and expiration date. Each ASEP-TECH Blow/Fill/Seal machine accepts a variety of molds for different product applications.
Our machine design capabilities also extend to product finishing lines to meet your final inspection and packaging needs. We have designed and installed systems that incorporate deflashing, labeling, electronic leak detection, printing and final packing. In addition, we can provide automated machine vision systems to support enhanced quality control and electronic documentation. We can meet all of your data acquisition requirements and provide links to your computer aided manufacturing network. Our integrated internal data acquisition and machine control package can be provided with man/machine interface compatibility with Wonderware®, WINCC or other software packages.
Design and Development for the Future:
A patented electronically-controlled fill system, an automatic sterilization system (SIP) with integral data acquisition, and a filter integrity test system are provided as standard equipment for each machine configuration. Each machine is also equipped with a HEPA air shower to assure a Class 100 environment under dynamic conditions in the nozzle shroud area. Accessories are available for the ASEP-TECH Blow/Fill/Seal System, including a transport cart to assist with tooling conversion, a stainless steel buffer tank to help assure accurate control of stringent fill requirements, and custom barrier isolation systems for container designs requiring inclusion of injection molded components as part of the aseptic package. Optional parison shrouding is available to assure a Class 10,000 environment under dynamic conditions in the extrusion zone and the critical transport area between the extrusion and fill nozzle shroud. The new KleenKut parison cutoff option affords dramatic reduction of non-viable particulates in the extrusion zone. KleenKut is a revolutionary approach to parison cutting and effectively reduces particle generation by over 99% when compared to a traditional ``hot knife``.
