Containers for suppositories

Sarong was established in 1972 with the aim to introduce the first fully automatic Vertical Thermoform, Fill & Seal machine, model SG-12 for the production of 22.000 suppositories per hour in plastic containers.

The Pharma Business Unit still represents one of the core-businesses of the Company, with almost 70% of the worldwide installed capacity for suppository machinery and up to 85% for suppository packaging films, thus confirming Sarong’s recognized leadership in the suppository packaging market, thanks also to its R&D expertise and its high quality After Sales services (technical assistance, spare parts and change parts).

Over the years Sarong has extended the range of its FFS packaging lines by adding models for small, medium and large production, from 6.000 up to 30.000 suppositories per hour, packed with plastic films (ThermoForming process) or aluminum foils (Cold Forming process).

In 1984 Sarong started to extend its range of FFS machinery by supplying the first Vertical Thermoform, Fill & Seal machine for unit-doses of pharmaceutical liquid or semi-liquid products.

PRODUCTS:

> Suppositories and vaginal ovules

> Thermoformed unit doses for vitamines, nutraceuticals, probiotics, syrup, ointments and creams

> Thermoformed unit doses for veterinary and PET care products

> Thermoformed unit doses for ultra-clean e sterile products

Machinery

Vertical Form, Fill & Seal for suppositories and ovules
The technological/technical principles used for our Form, Fill & Seal machines for suppository/ovule are based on a continuous band formed by two films.
For plastic films, the containers are thermoformed, for aluminum foil the containers are cold-formed. The suppositorial mass is then liquid filled into the containers by a volumetric pump. The containers pass through a cooling tunnel to solidify the product. The process ends with the sealing of the packages and the cutting of the continuous band into strips of set number.

Vertical Form Fill & Seal for liquids
The technological/technical principles used for our Form, Fill & Seal machines for liquids/semi-liquids are based on a continuous band made from two reels of plastic film, each strip thermoformed inside the forming mould using compressed air, heat sealed together, vertically filled through a volumetric pump, then individually sealed in the heated sealing mould and cut in strips of the pre-set number of containers.
