Product overviewThe XTREMA PWD Series is a compact, high-speed powder micro-dosing and stoppering system engineered for aseptic pharmaceutical processing. It enables dosing of multiple powders into the same vial with separate 100% check-weighing (SPLIT-FILL) and is designed for low-fill microdosing, high containment and a small footprint.
Key functional features- Vacuum–pressure filling principle with positive intermittent in-line vial transport.
- Capability to dose up to three distinct powders into a single vial (split-fill workflow with separate 100% check-weighing per powder).
- Compact automation architecture providing high automation level in reduced floor space.
- 100% in-process control (IPC) at full production speed (up to 400 vials per minute) including tare/gross/gross check-weighing.
- Containment via cRABS (controlled Restricted Access Barrier System) with recirculating Laminar Air Flow (LAF) and regulated temperature and humidity.
- Continuous stoppering unit integrated with powder handling and gas purging steps prior to stoppering.
