Contract Packager Celeste Industries makes a move into the pharmaceutical market with the addition of a monobloc filler/capper installed in a dedicated enclosure.
The bottling line is installed in a new Class 100,000 room for maximum sanitation. During PD's visit, the bottling line was running 0.3-oz bottles of liquid skin dressing that included a small brush applicator. Meanwhile the horizontal form/fill/seal machine was running insect repellent wipes. With a pitch index of 8 in., the machine can run any combination of pouches up to 6.75-in. wide. The insect repellent pouches are 3 in. wide, so the machine runs two of these pouches at each stroke.
