Syntegon's settle plate changer SPC 1000 

Oct 26, 2024

Pack Expo International 2024 – 3-6 November, Chicago

Syntegon, a provider of pharmaceutical packaging solutions and process technology, will highlight its innovative new patented Settle Plate Changer SPC 1000 at PACK EXPO International, to be held 3-6 November 2024 at McCormick Place, Chicago, IL, stand W-16099. Also on display will be the GKF 60 R&D ProTect capsule filling machine and the Range Manual Assembly (RMA) machine, designed for small batches and clinical trials.

The Settle Plate Changer SPC 1000 on display won the German Packaging Award 2024 in the packaging machines category. It offers automated viable monitoring in the aseptic filling process, which reduces manual interventions for environmental monitoring by 80 percent. With its 24-hour operation, the SPC 1000 increases machine availability by up to three hundred hours per year. An energy-free adhesive gripper technology ensures precise handling of settle plates during production.

The Settle Plate Changer SPC 1000 features a standardized interface for transferring exposure data to upper layer systems. Optional barcode scanning offers increased process safety and traceability. The SPC 1000 helps customers comply with the latest EU GMP Annex 1 requirements for both new and existing equipment. Quick and easy retrofits are available for Syntegon machines as well as all other machine brands, types, and controls.

Also on display is the GKF 60 R&D ProTect capsule filling containment solution, which provides a barrier system to protect personnel from negative contamination impacts for production processes classified up to OEB4. Its compact design features six stations, making it a flexible and space-efficient solution ideal for R&D and small-scale production.

Pens and autoinjectors, essential for antidiabetics and weight management products, can be precisely assembled thanks to the new RMA. This space-saving, semi-automatic assembly machine for clinical trials and small batches was developed by Syntegon in close cooperation with customers. The system supports pharmaceutical manufacturers in determining the properties of their drug delivery systems and assembling them in accordance with regulatory standards. The RMA adheres to Syntegon’s design philosophy of scalability, allowing customers to seamlessly transition to higher-output machines as they increase capacity for market launches.

Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive

The 18-year-old multi-channel B2B in print and digital platform matches the industry’s high growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are increasing capacity and diversification, with high technology and automation in new projects.

We are mid-way through 2024, and India’s real GDP growth for FY 24-25 will exceed 6.3%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and likely surpass it by at least 2.5% according to our research company www.ippstar.org .

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India has increased significantly over the past four years. We expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are growing similarly. As the consumption story returns, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our impactful coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf, to waste collection, sorting, and recycling. India is where the leading suppliers to the packaging industry are shifting their manufacturing – an opportunity with stable supply chains and low-cost production efficiencies.

We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, co-packers, and recyclers. If you want to reach them, your agility and innovation shown on the industry-leading platform can do some of the heavy lifting.
