Compact system for packaging injectable liquid products into containers in a sterile environment

Abstract

A compact system for packaging sterile pharmaceutical liquid products injectable into suitable containers in a sterile environment comprises a plurality of operative packaging stations connected together and arranged in succession along an advancing path of said containers; the plurality of stations comprises at least a washing station intended for cleaning and decontaminating each of the said containers, at least a sterilizing station for sterilizing the containers exiting said washing station, and at least a filling and sealing station for filling said containers with said liquids and for sealing said containers; said stations and a connecting arrangement thereof are mounted in an operating configuration on a sole work platform; the washing station and the sterilizing station being arranged parallel and alongside one another, and connected together by a first conveyor of the containers arranged transversely to the washing station and to the sterilizing station to define a first substantially 'U'-shaped portion of said path; the filling and sealing station being arranged aligned on said washing station and connected, in a staggered position, to the sterilizing station by a second conveyor of said containers arranged transversely to the sterilizing station, to define a second substantially 'L'-shaped portion of the advancing path.
