Assembly and testing line for inhalers
Sytec designs and builds automated assembly and testing lines for inhalers. Linear transfer systems developed to measure for the production of metered-dose inhalers.
The assembly of an inhaler is a complex process. Every device is made up of several components, such as the body, mouthpiece, dosing mechanism, canister and cap, which must be assembled to very tight tolerances and verified with functional testing integrated in line. Sytec designs inhaler assembly lines based on linear transfer, able to process several models on the same line with minimal format-changeover times.
The lines manage the entire production cycle: automatic component feeding, sequential assembly, functional testing with verification of the delivery rate, leak testing and dimensional control, all the way to marking and packaging. The proprietary control software also ensures full traceability of every inhaler produced and integration with the customer’s systems.
Sytec designs and builds inhaler assembly and testing lines from a 4,500 sqm facility entirely dedicated to building custom industrial automation systems. With 60 specialized technicians and over 40 years of experience, the company manages every stage in-house, from precision mechanics to control software, with no outsourcing of critical parts. Integrating assembly, functional testing and packaging stations into a single linear transfer system consequently guarantees reliable commissioning times, certified quality and direct support throughout the entire project.
