medicines, chemicals and consumer
products. The key to the Microfluidizer's
uniform material-handling capability
is its ability to maintain a consistent
process pressure within the system.
Suitable for a variety of applications,
including both laboratory use and full
commercial production, these processors
provide size reduction and disruption
in the sub-micrometer range,
and numerous scaleup options are
available. Booth 1653 - Microfluidics

Forming, filling and sealing for
multi-product manufacturers
The QuickPouch Vertical (photo) is a
compact, customizable machine designed
to form, fill and seal pouches.
The system can handle package sizes
of up to 6 in. in width and 9 in. in height.
The machine's simple design is advantageous
to manufacturers with multiple
products; changeovers are simple,
taking as little as 15 min. The QuickPouch
Vertical is available with many
options, including printing, automatic
loading, liquid or powder filling, diecutting
and more. Applying a hot die to
imprint the pouch form, the cycle-ondemand
system is equipped with time,
pressure and monitoring functions.
Pouch materials include foil laminate,
paper laminate and plastic laminate.

A compact filling and closing
machine with 10 filling positions
This company's H4 filling and closing
machine (photo) can process nested
vials, syringes and cartridges, and also
allows for the pre-manufacture of certain
modules, providing cost savings
and flexibility for a number of diverse
applications. Even within a compact
footprint, the H4's transport system
achieves a high output rate of 24,000
objects/h, which can be expanded to
36,000 objects/h with certain retrofitting
options. The H4 comes equipped
with a ten-position filling system. For
filling flexibility and simple format
changes, rotary-piston pumps, as
well as peristaltic or time-pressure
filling systems can be added at any
time. Further customizations are avail44
able
through the addition of upgraded
in-process controls and the insertion
of vacuum stoppers. Booth 3103 -

Safeguard sensitive
connections with this tool
The BocLock intelligent connection system
(photo) safeguards process connections
in mechanical and automated
systems, and is specifically designed
for flow-transfer panels with frequent
connections. Suitable for very sensitive
processes, the system features a multicolored
indicator light that continuously
informs the operators of the connection
status. This includes notifying the operator
if the connection is awaiting action, or
if the connection is dirty, clean or incompatible.
The BocLock's stainless-steel
construction allows for in-situ cleaning,
and the system comes equipped with
an integral passage with a standard hygienic
seal. Booth 3168 - Boccard Life

Cloud-based temperature and
humidity monitoring
The OneVue intelligent platform is a
cloud-based system that monitors
critical temperature and humidity data.
With its responsive design, the OneVue
platform can be configured on any
tablet, smartphone, laptop or desktop
computer. Alert routing rules can be
set up to deliver notifications via email,
text message or phone. According to
the company, the platform is unique
in that the data generated by sensors
are tied to the room, physical equipment
(such as refrigerators) or inventory
(such as pharmaceuticals) being
monitored, rather than to the sensor
itself, creating historical data trails.
