FD-Pharma^®

• Integrated label printing system with serialization and standard barcodes.
• No pre-printed label stock is needed; prints on top of lid before filling.
• 300 d.p.i. Thermal Transfer printer with full resin ribbon.
• Includes Pak-Edge^® UD Barcode Labeling Software.

Pumping

• Two fully programmable linear drive stepper-controlled pumping stations.
• Uses two 50mL autoclavable stainless-steel syringes for positive displacement.
• Features 2 intake and 2 output pinch valves designed for 50 Dur silicone tubing (check valves optional).
• Fully programmable draw rates, dispense rates, and dwell time via touchscreen interface.
• Customizable syringe, tubing, and valve setup based on product requirements.

Sealing

• Single linear drive sealing station with two seal platens.
• Programmable sealing temperature range: 150°C to 230°C (default 220°C).
• Includes programmable low limit set point and operational temperature warnings for low or over limit as well as damaged thermocouple.
• Programmable seal dwell time, seal rate, and seal pressure via a touchscreen interface.
• Interchangeable parts for different-sized cups (7mL, 15mL, 25mL, and 35mL).

• MPI’s proprietary packaging materials conform to FDA regulations for use in direct food contact.
• The FD-Pharma^® is designed for ease of operation, allowing line technicians to become proficient with minimal training.
• Equipped with a built-in scanner, this advanced machine ensures 100% verification of readable barcodes on unit dose packages.
• Packages 35mL doses at rates of up to 35 per minute and follows all safety standards.

Decrease Costs

• Generates labels on the machine during packaging, eliminating the expenses and waste of pre-printed label lidding.
• Small footprint and affordable price point further reduce costs.
• Offers quick changeovers with minimal cleaning required, resulting in a low cost per dose (CPD).
• Low cost of ownership due to extremely low maintenance costs for both operation and upkeep.
• Adds liquid cup packaging capabilities in clinical trials, small production, validation runs, and full production mode.

Add-Ons

• Barcode Verifier: Scans each package as it leaves the FD-Pharma^® conveyor belt to ensure that it has a readable barcode. If an unreadable barcode is detected, the system pauses to allow the user to retry or remove the package.
• Air Rinser: Uses a short burst of air into the cup, directing debris into collection netting before advancing and filling the next cup.
• Die Cut Feature: Optional separately powered module that trims the lidding to the cup’s perimeter, leaving a tabbed section for professional die-cut labeling at speeds up to 23 cups per minute.
