How to optimise your pharma packaging system with a Hovmand lifter
The pharmaceutical industry is in a constant state of evolution, driven by advancements in science, technology, and the need to meet the highest standards of quality and safety. Central to this journey is the pharma packaging process – a critical component that ensures medicines reach patients in the best possible condition.
In this article, we explore how our lifting solutions, including chemical transport equipment, can optimise and support existing pharma packaging processes.
Contamination and damage in pharma packaging: A looming threat
In the pharmaceutical industry, the consequences of contamination or damage during pharma packaging can be severe. Product recalls, compromised patient safety, and regulatory issues are just a few potential outcomes. Furthermore, pharmaceutical companies operate in a highly regulated environment where precision and quality are paramount.
A lifter can help prevent several of the above risks associated with pharma packaging processes, including:
Reduce the risk of contamination: Our lifters assist in maintaining a clean and controlled environment by facilitating safe and hygienic handling of pharmaceutical products, reducing the risk of contamination from external sources.
Ensure product integrity: By providing precise and controlled lifting and handling capabilities, our lifters ensure the integrity of pharmaceutical products during the packaging process, minimising the risk of damage, spillage, or mishandling that could compromise product quality.
Minimise packaging errors: Our lifters streamline packaging operations and minimise manual handling errors, reducing the risk of packaging errors such as mislabeling, incorrect dosing, or product mix-ups.
Prevent counterfeiting and tampering: Our lifters contribute to secure handling and transport of pharmaceutical products, helping
prevent unauthorised access or tampering that could compromise product authenticity and safety.
Mitigate supply chain risks: By improving efficiency and reliability in packaging operations, our lifters help mitigate supply chain risks such as delays, errors, or disruptions, ensuring timely and consistent delivery of pharmaceutical products to market.
Customer case: Medice's journey with a Hovmand lifter
Medice, a German pharmaceutical company, streamlined its pharma packaging system with a Hovmand lifter. Initially, the company faced challenges stacking Euroboxes weighing up to 40 kg on shelving racks, containing essential packaging materials like film rolls, blisters, leaflets, and folding boxes. Due to varying physical strengths among employees, some struggled to handle the boxes safely, resulting in inefficient storage practices.
Seeking a pharma packaging solution, the company turned to our INOX 90 lifter, designed for pharmaceutical applications. Opting for stainless steel construction with a lifting platform, Medice ensured compliance with stringent hygiene standards. The lifter empowered all employees to effortlessly move Euroboxes to nearby shelves, adjusting height as needed without risking back strain.
