Introducing
a world class Injection-Blow moulded bottle for Eye / Ear
Drops.
These bottles are an ideal replacement for
glass vials and made on a fully automatic machine in which
the bottle comes out of the machine in a finished state
requiring no human touch.
|
| I.
A Brief On Injection-Blow Moulding Technology:- |
| “Injection-Blow
Moulding” in relative terms means the fusion of two
processes i.e:
The Injection Process and the Blowing Process. It is two step
process, where the bottle preform is initially made at the
Injection stage and the preform is later blown at the blowing
stage.
The Main Features of Injection-Blow
Technology: |
Since the threading part of
the dropper bottle is Injection moulded, it makes it possible
to maintain tight tolerances and consistent dimensional accuracy,
of the neck portion of the bottle. Therefore IBM technology
plays a very critical role to prevent leakage.
|
The IBM Technology is very unique,
whereby a fully finished dropper bottle comes out the machine
without any scrap. There is no finishing required of these bottles,
hence no human touch thereby avoiding a major source of contamination
|
II.
To ensure that the particulate count is maintained within
the IP and USP
standards, the following facilities have been installed at
our premises:
|
 |
| The Production area is provided with Air-Handling
Units fitted with 3.0 microns filters and suction filters of
10.0 microns. Class 1,00,000 clean room facility provides the
filtration accuracy upto 3.0 micron and above. The maximum permissible
particle count is 1,00,000 particles of the size of less than
or equal to 5.0 micron per cubic feet.
This clean room provides high
degree of protection to the product, operator & environment.
The floating particles (if any) are sucked within the working
area towards the pre-filters with filtration accuracy of 10.0
microns. The filtered air then moves from the pre-filters
to discharge filters with filtration accuracy of 3.0 microns.
Thus creating a positive pressure zone of 2-3 MM. WG. within
the working area. This positive pressure helps in isolating
the working area from the ambient.
The CLASS 1,00,000 has been certified using MET-ONE PARTICLE
COUNTER
|
 |
| The Dropper bottles are manufactured
under the “Laminar Air-Flow” which is fitted over
the machine. The CLASS 100 has been certified using MET-ONE
PARTICLE COUNTER |
III.
Design Features of IBM Bottles:
|
The IBM Technology
eliminates the secondary operations at source, thereby avoiding
a major source of contamination.
|
To provide an efficient Leak
Proof pack, we have given a groove in the nozzle, and a corresponding
collar on the neck of the bottle, when the nozzle is fitted
on the bottle, there is an audible click, which signifies
a snap fit, making the pack leak proof.
|
To provide a seal of tampering,
the dropper bottle has been designed in such a way that once
the cap fits over the thread and the ratchet smoothly, and
after fitting, on unscrewing the cap, the seal breaks, giving
evidence of tampering.
