Baby Phill
Compact Aseptic Vial Filling System

The BABY PHILL is a compact aseptic vial filling system, for small batches liquid production.

The BABY PHILL concept is an ALL IN ONE, filling-stoppering & capping machine. Monoblock solution, including the Class A isolator and the no touch transfer section for opening of the trays bags.

Highlights

  • Modular platform for automatic filling of small batch
  • Aseptic environment (Grade A) – ISO5
  • Containment barrier for Highly Potent drugs
  • Filling speed: up to 40 pcs/min
  • Filling accuracy: +/- 0.5%
  • IPC 100% check weighing
  • No Vial – No Fill system
  • Flexible closure system compatible with Stopper / AluCap / PushFitCap
  • Reject station (camera for stopper/caps)
  • Plug and Play
  • Illuminate™ MI: IIoT manufacturing intelligence platform and factory-floor management

BABY PHILL is conceived for any customer who need a Plug&Play technology who require a short product placement on the market. The 100% IPC control of the dosing guarantee a high quality of the final product.

The newest model of BABY PHILL has seen a deep redesign, with increased speed up to 2,500 vial/h (based on 10ml/10R and 8ml filling volume).
BABY PHILL is designed for filling of RTU ( ready to use) vials in trays.
BABY PHILL can also be connected with small vial washing machine and depyrogenation tunnel for bulk production.

  • The good product is accumulated at the machine outfeed on a removable tray

Available Accessories

Rotary intermittent washer by DF Siena

The rotary intermittent washer is a fully automatic, intermittent motion, rotary washing machine, suitable to wash and clean brand-new containers, such as vials. The rotary washing machine is developed to handle vials in order to permit the internal and external decontamination of the containers.

Operating cycle

The loading section is composed by a dead plate, directly connected with a rotary table, here the operator can push the vials from the plastic tray to the loading station. The washing system has plunging needles with the possibility of varying the phases and times of the fluid dispensing.

Washing cycle

The rotary intermittent washing machine is proposed with a standard washing cycle is completely modifiable in the media order/type and programmable as washing times depending on items to treat and/or availability of washing media.

  1. Pincers loading
  2. Blowing with filtered compressed air – INT
  3. Washing (PW or WFI) – INT/EXT
  4. Blowing with filtered compressed air – INT
  5. Washing (PW or WFI) – INT
  6. Blowing with filtered compressed air – INT/EXT
  7. Washing (WFI) – INT
  8. Blowing with filtered compressed air – INT
  9. Dripping and unloading.

Depyrogenation tunnel by DF Siena

Depyrogenation tunnel guarantees the continuous sterilization and depyrogenation of glass containers such as vials, type R or type H, by means of filtered high temperature air (max 350°C) in laminar flow conditions.
The air laps vertically the containers, with uniform increase of the heat, achieving a shorter time sterilization process.

Depyrogenation tunnel

Infeed zone

A vertical laminar flow protects the tunnel entrance from the external contamination, and avoids the coming out of the hot air.

The air is prefiltered, HEPA filtered and then flows over the vials in laminar condition, at a speed adjusted around to 0,4 – 0,5 m/s, with air speed measurement.

Depyrogenation zone

The chamber is made by stainless steel shell, externally protected by approved insulation materials (ceramic). The tunnel is provided of a variable number of HEPA filters for high temperature (max 350°C).

In the depyrogenation chamber the air is fully ricirculated. For each filter, a fan placed in the bottom of the tunnel, sucks the air out from under the conveyor belt (in the coolest point of the recirculation loop) and blows the air towards the heaters, placed along the supply duct, directly on the equalization system, through the filters and, finally, on the vials. In this way there is a pressure increase in the air flow just for the temperature increase, with less efforts in the fan functioning and a longer device lifetime.

The air speed is adjusted and controlled with optimal unidirectional flow conditions.

The max temperature set-point is 350°C. In order to save energy and to not overheat the glass, each type of vial is processed with the suitable time/temperature setting to achieve the desired depyrogenation degree.

Cooling zone

In the cooling module the air is sucked from the room. The air is first pre filtered, HEPA filtered and the air speed is adjusted and controlled with optimal unidirectional flow conditions.
