Production of glass vials
The production can be divided into the following production steps:
01
Raw material: glass tubes
(usually Schott glass tubes of the 1st hydrol. class)
02
Forming the glass vials at different stations of the rotary machine
(bottom shaping, shoulder shaping, Neck shaping)
03
Optoelectronic measurement
04
Relax the glass surface in the hardening furnace at approx. 600 ° C
05
Packaging the glass vials in the class 10.000 clean room
Qualitative aspects in manufacturing
01
Raw material
- Schott glass tubes of the 1st hydrol. class
- For safety reasons, thick glass walls in the headspace area
02
Hygienic conditions
Packaging in class 10,000 clean room
03
Optoelectronic measurement
Each produced vial is optoelectronically measured using a video camera. If the vial does not meet the specifications, it will be discarded in the scrap
04
In-process controls
Manual review of specifications in specified periods during manufacturing process
05
Functional Tests
For example, the smooth running of a thread by screwing on the combination seals
06
QA controls according to DIN (EN) standards
Final inspection and incoming goods inspection

- The PP-Box has a high chemical resistance to a wide range of acids, solvents, oils and fats
- No contamination of the vials by material particles of the packaging, because PP has a high abrasion resistance
- A schematic drawing on the front of the PP boxes enables the contents to identify without opening the box
- 100% traceability function due to batch numbers on every PP Box
- Absolutely neutral packaging that enables individual resale
2in1 KITs (Convenience Pack)
- The end user only has to reorder one item
- Practical storage of vials and closures
- Resealable packaging to protect the products during consumption
