FORM-FILL-MACHINES :

Form, fill and seal machines are packaging equipment that uses flexible, heat-sealable, plastic film to form packages that can be filled with a product and then sealed, and cut. There are many types of form, fill, and seal machines. Forming machines form packages, but do not fill or seal them. Filling machines load previously formed packages with a specific product quantity, but do not provide closing or sealing action. Seal-only equipment wraps or secures products, but does not form packages or fill them. Equipment that combines form, fill and seal functions is also available. Some devices transport the plastic film horizontally. Others transport the film vertically. Manual machines aid only in the setting or holding of products. Semi-automatic machines help with both packaging and placement, allowing a single operator to perform several activities with greater speed and accuracy. Fully automatic equipment requires limited operator intervention. Typically, operators need only replenish packaging components by loading supply hoppers or removing completed cartons.

Form, fill and seal machines are used to process liquids, granules, powders, and sprays for consumer, bulk and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) supply shipments. Packaging materials include aerosol containers, bags and pouches, blister packs, bottles and jars, cartons and boxes, cans, capsules, cartridges, cases, cups and trays, drums and kegs, pallets and pails, and tubes and vials. Intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) have a capacity of not more than 3 cubic meters and are designed to be handled by form, fill and seal machines. There are several ways to close packages. Examples include caps and lids, corks, glue, heat seals, nails and staples, tapes, tucks and folds, wrappers, and tamper-resistant materials. 

Selecting form, fill and seal machines require an analysis of specifications, features, and applications. Typically, fully automated machines list the rate, which is usually expressed in pieces per minute. Some automated machines include an integral feeder and a computer interface that links to a control network. Others are made from stainless steel for improved corrosion resistance. Aseptic or sanitary equipment is easy to clean and designed in a manner that inhibits the growth or presence of pathogenic microrganisms. Portable machinery is lightweight or includes wheels or casters for ease of movement. In terms of applications, form, fill and seal machines are used widely in the automotive, chemical, medical, and pharmaceutical

industries. They are also used to process food, beverages, cosmetics, electronics, semiconductors, stationary, tobacco, and military products.

There are two basic types, horizontal and vertical. A horizontal machine forms a package, fills with product, and seals in a sequence of operations while the film is being transported in a horizontal direction. They are widely used for packaging solid foodstuffs. A vertical machine forms a tube, fills, and seals in a sequence of operations while the film is being transported vertically downwards. They are widely used for packaging foodstuffs in a liquid, powder, paste, or granule state.

Form Fill Seal (FFS) machines are packaging machines that form fill and seal a package on the same machine.

The main types are vertical form fill seal (VFFS) and horizontal form fill seal (HFFS) machines – a term often used in the market place to cover horizontal versions of flow-wrappers, sachet machines, blister pack machines, four side seal machines and thermoform fill and seal machines.; in both cases packaging material is fed off a roll, shaped, and sealed. The bags/packs are then filled, sealed and separated.

Today many FFS systems are highly sophisticated featuring computer interfaces and control networks. Greater speed and versatility are the major benefits of FFS systems for user companies. For example snack producers demand systems that have the versatility to provide fast changeover between many different packaging formats to meet growing demand for single serve packs. Here VERTICAL FFS is capable of creating virtually any size or shape ranging from the standard pillow pack to bags sealed on all four sides.

The multiplicity of FFS machines employ a wide range of material types and are used across numerous markets including food, drinks, cosmetics, electronics, stationary, tobacco, chemical, medical, and pharmaceuticals.

Form fill seal machines are often divided into the types of packs they produce:

Bags and Pillow packs

Flow-wrapper; lower reel flow-wrapper; vertical form fill and seal; stickpack machines; mandrel form fill seal.

Bottles/vials

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)

The objective is to extend shelf life by modifying, controlling or removing the atmosphere surrounding perishable products. Sophisticated horizontal and vertical form fill seal systems are used.

Blow Fill Seal

Blow mould Form Fill and Seal Machine: A Packaging machines in which plastic granules are melted, extruded, blow moulded to form a container, filled with product and sealed within the machine.

Uses: pharmaceuticals and related products such as sterile unit doses e.g. eye drops.

B/F/S Process

The ASEP-TECH® System automatically delivers a finished package in five steps:

Thermoplastic resin is extruded into a tubular shape called a parison. (Figure a.)

When the parison reaches the proper length, the mold is closed and the parison is cut. The bottom of the parison is pinched closed and the top is held in place. The mold is then conveyed to a position under the blowing and filling nozzle. (Figure b.)

The blow-fill nozzle is lowered into the parison until it forms a seal with the neck of the mold. The container is formed by blowing sterile filtered compressed air into the parison and expanding it against the walls of the integrally cooled mold cavity. Next, the sterile air is vented from the container and the sterile product is metered into the container through the fill nozzle, which then retracts. (Figure c.)

Separate sealing molds close to form the top and hermetically seal the container. (Figure d.)

The mold opens, and the formed, filled and sealed container is conveyed out of the machine. (Figure e.)

ASEP-TECH® Blow/Fill/Seal machines are designed and manufactured by Weiler Engineering, Inc. in Elgin, Illinois. Our team is dedicated to the highest performance standards in the design and development of Blow/Fill/Seal packaging systems. This unique combination of world-class engineering, leading-edge automation and process design, assures years of reliable, high quality production.

Blow-fill-seal technology, originally developed in Europe in the 1930s and introduced in the US in the 1960s, has emerged as a preferred method for aseptic packaging of pharmaceutical and healthcare products due to unrivalled flexibility in container design, overall product quality, product output and low oprational costs.

The Weiler design incorporates the multi-step process of blow moulding, aseptic filling and hermetic sealing of liquid products in one sequential operation on a compact, automated machine frame with fill volumes ranging from 0.1 millilitre

(ml) to 1,000ml.

A variety of polymers may be used in the process, low and high-density polyethylene and polypropylene being the most popular. The innate ability to form the container/closure during the actual aseptic packaging process allows for custom design of the container to meet the specific needs of the application.

This flexibility not only improves container ease of use, but provides a means of interfacing with many of today’s emerging drug delivery technologies, most notably in the field of respiratory therapy. Recent advancements in machine design allow for insertion of pre-moulded, pre-sterilised components to be moulded into the container creating additional design options to create multi-use and injectable product containers.

Furthermore, the blow-fill-seal process flow is normally impacted by only two raw materials, product and polymer, that are each processed inline, thereby making the process amenable to large uninterrupted batch sizes, some in excess of 500,000 units, and fill durations of up to 120 hours.

The net effect is routinely an increase in production efficiency and a subsequent decrease in operational costs for the user. Blow-fill-seal systems represent a niche market within the larger form-fill-seal marketplace for pharmaceutical packaging equipment.

The blow-fillseal process is a robust, advanced aseptic processing technology, recognised by worldwide regulatory authorities for its inherent operational advantages over conventional aseptic production.

Blow-fill-seal systems offer a unique combination of flexibility in packaging design, low operating cost and a high degree of sterility assurance. The machines require aminimum number of operating personnel and have a relatively small space requirement.

Applications

The ability to provide sterile liquid products that meet corporate, scientific, regulatory and end-user requirements can be a demanding task in today's environment. Through your implementation of ASEP-TECH® Blow/Fill/Seal technology, these application challenges can be met by the creative container and closure designs available with each system. Several machine models are available to choose from, designed to manufacture containers ranging in size from 0.2mL to 1000mL at production rates of up to 15,000 units per hour, depending on container configuration.

Advantages of horizontal and vertical form filling and sealing

Faster production times.Because the machinery for form fill and seal incorporates all stages of production automatically, the process is quick. 

Relatively inexpensive.Can seal product without heavy or expensive packaging material. 

Flexible solution.Solids, dry or liquids can be packaged using vertical form fill and seal (VFFS).

Vertical form fill sealing machineThe Vertical form fill sealing machine (FFS) is a type of automated assembly-line product packaging system, commonly used to in thepackaging industry for food, and a wide variety of other products. The machine constructs plastic bags out of a flat roll of plastic film, while simultaneously filling the bags with product and sealing the filled bags. Both solids and liquids can be bagged using this packaging system.

The typical machine is loaded with a continuous flat roll of plastic film, which has had labeling and artwork applied to the exterior or interior of the film. Note that while plastic is the most commonly used packaging material in the [[food industry], the technology can also be used to form continuous paper and fabric product containers by changing the edge sealing/seaming methods.

For some products the film may first be fed through a sterilizing chemical bath and dryer prior to use in the packaging system.The film approaches the back of a long hollow conical tube, and when the center of the plastic is near the tube, the outer edges of the film form flaps that wrap around the conical tube. The film is pulled downward around the outside of the tube and a vertical heat-sealing bar clamps onto the edges of the film, bonding the film by melting the seam edges together.

To start the bagging process, a horizontal sealing bar clamps across the bottom edge of the tube, bonding the film together, and cutting off any film below. The sealed tube end is then lowered onto a precision weighing table and the product to be bagged is dispensed through the long conical tube in the center of the bag. When the gross weight of the product-filled bag is reached, filling stops, and the horizontal sealing bar seals the top of the bag, and simulatenously forms the bottom of the next bag above. This bag is then cut off from the tube and is now a sealed package, ready to advance onward into the product boxing and shipping processes.

During the final sealing process, the bag may be filled with air from a blower or from an inert gas supply. Inflating the bag helps reduce the crushing of fragile products such as potato chips, while inflating with an inert gas helps drive out oxygen and retards the growth of bacteriathat would spoil the product.

The feeding of material and cutting of the pouch can be determined either by pouch length, or indexing to an eyespot, which is detected by a visual sensor. While single web systems are popular for food applications, the dual web four side seal system is often popular for IVD and Medical device products. Closely related is the horizontal form-fill-seal machine, which is generally uses more floor space than a vertical system. Modern advancements in pouch forming technology have allowed for smaller and smaller Vertical pouch forming systems.

B/F/S Process

The ASEP-TECH® System automatically delivers a finished package in five steps:

Thermoplastic resin is extruded into a tubular shape called a parison. (Figure a.)

When the parison reaches the proper length, the mold is closed and the parison is cut. The bottom of the parison is pinched closed and the top is held in place. The mold is then conveyed to a position under the blowing and filling nozzle. (Figure b.)

The blow-fill nozzle is lowered into the parison until it forms a seal with the neck of the mold. The container is formed by blowing sterile filtered compressed air into the parison and expanding it against the walls of the integrally cooled mold cavity. Next, the sterile air is vented from the container and the sterile product is metered into the container through the fill nozzle, which then retracts. (Figure c.)

Separate sealing molds close to form the top and hermetically seal the container. (Figure d.)

The mold opens, and the formed, filled and sealed container is conveyed out of the machine. (Figure e.)

Sacmi sinergies for Innovative TechnologyISA Integrated Sleeve Applicator

Since the the beginning Sacmi Imola Group welcomed

with great interest the idea of a Sleeve Applicator (ISA) developped recently by Sacmi Labelling to be Integrated with Benco Pack FFS machines and after

numerous laboratory tests what seemed to be just a dream was transformed into reality so that it is now possible to adapt to labelling a wide range of

containers of different shapes directly thermoformed by a FFS machine.

In a unique structure, the filled and sealed container is individually treated in a series of closed chambers,

where a jet of steam, with variable duration, but always

less than 0.6 seconds, causes the “sleeve” label shrinking onto the container.

An innovative technique allows reducing steam consumption up to 10 times versus the traditional

heat-shrinkage tunnels thanks to the elimination of the pre-heating phase and also steam is not pointlessly

consumed when the machine is in standby.As far as material is concerned, ISA uses “sleeve”

labels made of different types of material: OPS, PET and PVC manufactured by a wide-range of suppliers

on the international and local markets, among which customers can choose the most suitable and

convenient for the their needs.ISA ADVANTAGES

• Packaging appeal: brighter printing and transparent

colours and higher graphic resolution• Cup shapes: suitable for a wide range of body

shape• System integrated in the FFS machine

• Steam consumptions: up to 10 times lower than the traditional shrinking tunnel

• Suitable for hot filling and for fully aseptic machine

(isotonic drnks, juices, UHT dairy desserts)• Decoration on multipacks without format change.

• Machine output from 6.000 to 36.000 cup/h

Form Fill and Seal Machines 

    Form and seal packaging machines use heat-sealable, flexible plastic, packaging film to form a package; the package is then filled, heat-sealed, and cut off. There are two basic types, horizontal and vertical. A horizontal machine forms a package, fills with product, and seals in a sequence of operations while the film is being transported in a horizontal direction. They are widely used for packaging solid foodstuffs. A vertical machine forms a tube, fills, and seals in a sequence of operations while the film is being transported vertically downwards. They are widely used for packaging foodstuffs in a liquid, powder, paste, or granule state. 

Form, Fill, and Seal Machines Information

Form, fill and seal machines are packaging equipment that uses flexible, heat-sealable, plastic film to form packages that canbe filled with a product and then sealed, and cut. There are many types of form, fill, and seal machines. Forming machines form packages, but do not fill or seal them. Filling machines load previously formed packages with a specific product quantity, but do not provide closing or sealing action. Seal-only equipment wraps or secures products, but does not form packages or fill them. Equipment that combines form, fill and seal functions is also available. Some devices transport the plastic film horizontally. Others transport the film vertically. Manual machines aid only in the setting or holding of products. Semi-automatic machines help with both packaging and placement, allowing a single operator to perform several activities with greater speed and accuracy. Fully automatic equipment requires limited operator intervention. Typically, operators need only replenish packaging components by loading supply hoppers or removing completed cartons.

Form, fill and seal machines are used to process liquids, granules, powders, and sprays for consumer, bulk and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) supply shipments. Packaging materials include aerosol containers, bags and pouches, blister packs, bottles and jars, cartons and boxes, cans, capsules, cartridges, cases, cups and trays, drums and kegs, pallets and pails, and tubes and vials. Intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) have a capacity of not more than 3 cubic meters and are designed to be handled by form, fill and seal machines. There are several ways to close packages. Examples include caps and lids, corks, glue, heat seals, nails and staples, tapes, tucks and folds, wrappers, and tamper-resistant materials. 

Selecting form, fill and seal machines requires an analysis of specifications, features, and applications. Typically, fully automated machines list the rate, which is usually expressed in pieces per minute. Some automated machines include an integral feeder and a computer interface that links to a control network. Others are made from stainless steel for improved corrosion resistance. Aseptic or sanitary equipment is easy to clean and designed in a manner that inhibits the growth or presence of pathogenic microrganisms. Portable machinery is lightweight or includes wheels or casters for ease of movement. In terms of applications, form, fill and seal machines are used widely in the automotive, chemical, medical, and pharmaceutical industries. They are also used to process food, beverages, cosmetics, electronics, semiconductors, stationary, tobacco, and military products.

Aseptic Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) Machine Today, a growing number of pharmaceutical manufacturers are using advanced aseptic processing technologies to minimize operator intervention and contamination risk in the filling and packaging of liquid parenteral drugs. One of these technologies is form-fill-seal (FFS), in which a polymeric material is formed and sealed inline to a container of choice, while the container is being filled.

FFS offers cost savings over conventional aseptic processing in glass. Traditional parenteral filling and packaging requires 23 steps and individual machines for filling, stoppering and capping. In contrast, FFS requires one piece of automated machinery, and takes place in six seconds or less.

The entire FFS process is performed under a class-100 laminar flow, preventing external contamination. The fully automatic, computer-controlled technology allows for filling and packaging of up to 40,000 bottles of IV fluid per day. Nitrogen purging options are available for sensitive formulations such as amino acids.

Get the latest analysis and commentary on manufacturing and the drug industry at our editors' blog. On Pharma looks at the drug industry with a special focus on manufacturing, which is coming into its own as a strategically important area.

Sterilization is achieved through an automatic, microprocessor controlled, circulating water-shower. The water becomes sterile during the process without any hazard to the product. The pressure/temperature link controls the whole process. The system uses a nylon filter medium to remove colloidal silica, pyrogens, mycoplasma, viruses and other contaminants.

Outline of the F-F-S Process

A brief outline of a typical Form-Fill-Seal process to which this guide applies is as follows:

(a) A Form-Fill-Seal unit is specially built equipment which in one continuous operation forms containers from a thermoplastic granulate, and then fills and seals them.

Originally developed for other purposes, they have for some years been suitably adapted and available for use in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, specifically sterile products.

(b) Bulk solution prepared under "microbiologically clean" or aseptic conditions (as appropriate) is delivered to the machine through a bacteria-retaining filter. Pipework, filter housings and machine parts in contact with the product are steam sterilized in place, where practicable.

(c) Filtered compressed air and granules of a plastic material conforming to a pre-determined specification and known to be compatible with the product to be filled (usually polyethylene, poly-propylene or polyethylene / polypropylene co-polymers) are supplied to the machine.

(d) Within the machine, the plastic granules are extruded downwards under pressure (up to 350 bar) as a hot hollow mouldable plastics tube (or "parison") or tubes. As a result of the high pressure extrusion process, the parison reaches a temperature of 170o - 230o C. The configuration and internal integrity of the parison is maintained by an internal downward flow of filtered air under pressure.

(e) The two halves of a mould close around the parison and seal the base. Simultaneously, the top of the parison is cut free by a hot knife-edge. The plastics material is now formed into a container(s) as determined by the design of the mould by vacuum and/or sterile air pressure.

(f) The container(s) is/are immediately filled with a metered volume of the solution, displacing the sterile air. Both the air and the solution are filtered through bacteria retaining filters immediately before entry into the forming, or formed container(s).

(g) When the required volume is filled into the container(s) the filling unit is raised and the containers are sealed automatically. The mould then opens, releasing a package formed, filled and sealed all in the one continuous, automatic, cycle which takes a matter of seconds. Meanwhile, parison-extrusion continues, and the cycle repeats. The filled and sealed units usually require "cropping" off excess plastic.

(h) In versions of these machines adapted for aseptic manufacture, the cycle is conducted automatically within the machine's own internal sterile air flushed environment (or "air shower"). The machines can also be used to fill suspensions, ointments, creams, and liquids other than aqueous solutions, although with such products it is not always possible to employ the final aseptic product filtration prior to filling.

(i) A "multiblock" version of the machine permits the formation of a number (or set) of containers at each pass from the parison by one mould.

When used for aseptic manufacturing, the cycle is conducted automatically within the machine’s own internal sterile air flushed environment (or air shower). The range, accuracy, reproducibility and response time of all controlling and recording instruments associated with the FFS machine and all supporting equipment, must be adequate to ensure that defined process conditions will be consistent during routine production. All instruments must be calibrated before any meaningful operational qualification can be performed. Written calibration procedures should specify the methods to be used for each instrument. Recalibration should be carried out after any maintenance, and all records maintained. New machine specs should state requirements for:

• Materials of construction for all components, particularly all contact parts, such as machine pipe work; internal components of purchased fittings like automatic valves including elastomeric and mechanical seals; pipeline joint seals; welding materials; filters and filter housings including casing and substrate layers of cartridges, as well as the main medium and all elastomeric seals; and polymer extrusion equipment.

• Pipe work configuration, with attention to sterile fluid pathways — for example, the elimination of “deadlegs”; position of thermocouples (“as installed” configuration, verified against the original design configuration and confirmed by temperature mapping is typically part of the validation protocol); and filter housing design.

• Porosity of the product and air filters. The validation data from the filter manufacturers should be available.

• Mold design, considering fill volume range, wall thickness, opening characteristics and ease of use, shape and other aesthetic considerations.

If FFS machines are used for the manufacture of non-sterile products, FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) requirements should be followed. When used to manufacture products intended for subsequent sterilization, these machines may be installed within an environment that would normally be considered appropriate for the manufacture and filling of terminally sterilized products. If the machines are to be used for the aseptic filling of sterile products they are usually provided with a localized environment at the point of fill with Grade A air.

The Installation Qualification process for any FFS system should confirm and certify that the room conforms to the specified Environmental Standard. A new cleanroom installation should include: room air filter integrity tests; determination of air velocity at the face of each air inlet filter; room air change rate; air particle counts, both viable and non-viable, in the rest condition; room pressure differentials; and lighting, heating and humidity readings.

Blow-Fill-Seal Technology

Blow-Fill-Seal technology refers to the manufacturing technique used to produce small, (0.1mL) and large volume, (500mL +) liquid filled containers. Blow-Fill-Seal technology was originally developed in Europe in the 1930s and was introduced in the United States in the 1960s, but over the last 20 years it has become more prevalent within the pharmaceutical industry, and it is now widely considered to be the superior form of aseptic processing by various medicine regulatory agencies including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the packaging of pharmaceutical and healthcare products.

The basic concept of blow fill seal (BFS) is that a container is formed, filled, and sealed in a continuous process without human intervention, in a sterile enclosed area inside a machine. Thus this technology can be used to Aseptically Manufacture sterile pharmaceutical liquid dosage forms.

The process is multi-stepped, firstly pharmaceutical-grade plastic resin is vertically heat extruded through a circular throat, to form a hanging tube called the Parison. This extruded tube is then enclosed within a two-part mould, and the tube is cut above the mould. The mould is transferred to the filling zone, or sterile filling space where filling needles mandrels are lowered and used to inflate the plastic to form the container within the mould. Following the formation of the container, the mandrel is used to fill the container with liquid, following filling the mandrels are retracted and a secondary top mould seals the container. All actions take place inside a sterile shrouded chamber inside the machine. The product is then discharged to a non-sterile area for labelling, packaging and distribution.

Blow fill seal technology reduces personnel intervention making it a more robust method for the aseptic preparation of sterile pharmaceuticals. BFS is used for the filling of vials for parenteral preparations and infusions, optphalmic products and inhalation products for example Respules (TM). Generally the plastic containers are made up of polyethylene and polypropylene. Polypropylene is more commonly used to form containers which are further sterilised by autoclaving as Polypropylene has greater thermostability.

The versatility of the FFS technology is particularly demonstrated in the field of easy-to-use pre-portioned consumer products. The practical and consumer-friendly FFS technology offer interesting applications that enable sales figures to be increased for both newly created products and established branded products.

EffectivenessThe following effective quality can be maintained in form fill seal technique:

Output performance

High operating comfort

Remote diagnosis and tele-service via an internet link

HMI (Human Machine Interface)

Operational data collection

Automatic station positioning

Dosing units with optimum filling accuracy

From hygienic to fully aseptic configurations

Flexibility Customer- and product-specific design, adjusted to the product and production requirements

Many different packs/moulds/designs are possible

Size configuration in keeping with the production capacity required

Flexible control concepts and integration with customer-specific systems

All common packaging materials that are suitable for heat-sealing can be processed 

 

Aseptic FFS Machines

Aseptic machines produce and sterilize the products on all sides. The packs are formed, filled and sealed under aseptic conditions in a sterile tunnel.

This technology is mainly used for convenience products (puddings, snacks) and for dairy products (desserts, cream cheese products etc.) to ensure longer shelf life and a better product quality.

FFS machines for rigid containers / Cups Form Fill Seal technology is a combination of several processes; cups are thermoformed from plastic sheet, filled with product, hermetically sealed with film and cut into singles or multi-packs – all on the same machine.

Form Fill Seal has three principal economic an environmental assets: reduction in the use of plastic by having wrap-around paper labeling, high levels of hygiene and minimum working space for a compact machine.

It combines creativity with standard solutions. This is the adaption of technology to current market demands and special requirements, focusing on individual, future-oriented solutions with the highest economic efficiency and high product quality.

The following benefits are observed:

Cost reduction for the same cup capacity, the most economic use of raw materials,for the same production, the

most economic solution in terms of personnel, power consumption and maintenance

for the same volume of production, lower cost of raw material storage (pre-formed containers can use more than 6 times the space needed for materials on reels).

Flexibility

The combination of several functions on one machine provides the opportunity to have unique container shapes and product formats with rapid change-overs in volumes and cutting in singles or multi-packs.

Marketing

The in-mould labeling facility provides the means to decorate the product and promote brand identification, as well as displaying nutritional and other information. The paper also adds rigidity to the side-wall of the cup, guaranteeing a reduction of 10 to 20% in the thickness of the plastic.

Hygiene

Thermoforming temperatures, in the range of 140 to 160°C, destroy much of any bacteria on the packaging materials. A range of hygiene options enable an FFS machine to be built to suit our products and environment.

General Technical Advantages

Customer- and product-specific design in line with product and production requirements.

Many cup designs are possible.

Size configuration in keeping with the production capacity required.

Flexible control concepts and integration with customer-specific systems.

All common packaging materials can be processed.

Process Validation of pharmaceutical FFS Machines1. IntroductionForm-Fill-Seal (F-F-S) technology is being used by pharmaceutical manufacturers, either to produce non-sterile products or sterile products which are sterilized by filtration and not intended for further sterilization, or to produce a very "clean" product for subsequent terminal sterilization.

Process Validation is defined as:

The action taken to demonstrate, and to provide documented evidence that a process will, with a high degree of assurance, consistently achieve the desired and intended results.

Because of the relative complexity of the Form-Fill-Seal (F-F-S) machines used, what has been termed the "prevalidation" or "Commissioning" phase (i.e. Installation Qualification and Equipment Qualification) is of particular importance. These aspects are covered in this guide, and a brief outline of the basic operation of the machines is given.

Installation Qualification, that is demonstrating and certifying that a piece of equipment is properly installed, provided with all necessary services, subsidiary equipment and instruments, and is capable of performing in accordance with its basic design parameters.

Operational Qualification consists of demonstrating that the equipment will perform consistently, and within pre-defined limits, as specified and installed.

Validation has also been considered to have two aspects, or possible strategies - Prospective Validation and Concurrent Validation.

Prospective Validation applies to new processes and new equipment, where studies are conducted and evaluated, and the overall process/equipment system is confirmed as validated before the commencement of routine production.

Concurrent Validation applies to existing processes and equipment. It consists of studies conducted during normal routine production and can only be considered acceptable for processes which have a manufacturing and test history indicating consistent quality production. Although lack of suitable records relating to the Qualification phases may not necessarily compromise concurrent validation of some other processes, evidence of proper machine installation is particularly important in the context of F-F-S.

Concluding Note on Validation Terminology.

While there is considerable variation in the understanding and use of the various terms discussed above, there is general agreement that the critical validation concepts are the following:

1. The overall process is understood.

2. Equipment is appropriately specified and designed.

3. Equipment is properly installed and maintained and is demonstrably operating as specified and designed.

4. The process is validated to ensure that it does achieve the desired and intended result.

2. Protocol Development and ControlEach stage of the evaluation of the effectiveness and reproducibility of an overall process should be based on a pre-established and approved detailed written protocol, developed in accordance with the validation approach. A written change control procedure should be established to prevent unauthorized change to the protocol or process and restrict change during any phase of the studies until all relevant data are evaluated.

3. PersonnelDocumented evidence of the relevant experience and training of all personnel involved in validation studies should be maintained.Appropriately qualified personnel should ensure that the protocol and the testing methodology are based on sound scientific and engineering principles and that all studies are properly evaluated and certified.All personnel conducting tests and measurements should be trained and experienced in the use of the equipment and measuring devices.

Engineering/mechanical personnel should be fully trained and competent in the operation and maintenance of the F-F-S machines and any subsidiary equipment. They should also have basic training in GMP requirements applicable to sterile production, such as gowning and manipulations.

4. Data Review and Study CertificationAll information or data generated as a result of the study protocol should be evaluated by qualified individuals against protocol criteria and judged as meeting or failing the requirements. Written evidence supporting the evaluation and conclusions should be available.

5. Machine Design and SpecificationCurrently, F-F-S machine manufacturers produce machines with a range of modifications (or variations) even within one specified model number. It is therefore essential that purchasers of these machines specify their requirements precisely, and check that their specified requirements are met.

The original machine specification should include statements of requirements for the following:

(a) Materials of construction for all components, with special attention being paid to all contact parts, for example;

1 Machine pipework.

2 Internal components of purchased fittings e.g. automatic valves, including elastomeric and mechanical seals.

3 Pipeline joint seals.

4 Welding materials, particularly if any modifications to the manufacturer's specifications are required.

5 Filters and filter housings, including casing and substrate layers of cartridges, as well as the main medium and all elastomeric seals.

6 Polymer extrusion equipment.

(b) Pipework configuration, with attention to sterile fluid pathways, for example;

1 Elimination of "deadlegs".

2 Position of thermocouples ("as installed" configuration, verified against the original design configuration - to be confirmed by temperature mapping as part of validation protocol).

3 Design of filter housings.

(c) Porosity both of product and air filters. The validation data from the filter manufacturers should be available.

(d) Design of moulds, considering fill volume range plus ullage, wall thickness, opening characteristics and ease of use, as well as overall shape and other aesthetic considerations.

6. Equipment Qualification

6.1 Prior to the commencement of any Process Validation studies it is necessary to demonstrate and certify that the F-F-S Machine and any supporting/subsidiary equipment, sub-systems and services are properly installed and functioning in accordance with their basic design parameters.

6.2 For new equipment, qualification begins with the establishment of design, purchase and installation requirements.

6.2.1 These requirements should be specified in writing and should include those matters relevant to the F-F-S machine itself, in addition to design specifications for ancillary equipment, where relevant.

6.2.2 These design and installation requirements must be specific to the type and model of the equipment required.

6.3 Installation Qualification of new equipment should be based on written procedures and the results documented.

6.3.1 These written procedures should ensure that the pre-defined construction and installation requirements are confirmed as being met, during the actual installation process.

6.3.2 All key installation parameters should be recorded, and certified as conforming to the pre-determined requirements prior to operational qualification of the equipment.

6.4 For existing equipment, installation qualification may consist of defining existing equipment design and installation parameters from records and from direct assessment.

6.4.1 This equipment should then be evaluated for its ability to meet the defined process specifications and for the determination of any mechanical upgrading or procedural modifications needed to meet process requirements.

6.4.2 Any modification should be documented as having been performed in accordance with predetermined requirements, and certified as rendering the equipment suitable for Process Validation Studies.

6.5 The Installation Qualification phase should be designed to ensure that the specified construction and installation requirements are met, including correct provision of, and connection to, all services, power-supplies, drainage systems and all ancillary equipment and instruments. In addition it should also cover all basic functional checks, including:

6.5.1 Operation of all electric motors, pumps etc. (e.g. extruder drive motor, hydraulic vacuum pumps).

6.5.2 Operation of all automatic valves, switches etc.

6.5.3 Operation of automatic systems for each of the pre-defined stages of production. This includes all computerized process control systems associated with the operation of the machine.

6.5.4 Operation of steam traps.

6.5.5 Operation of extruder heaters.

6.5.6 Operation and designation of thermocouples.

6.5.7 Setting and operation of alarm systems. (e.g. Air shower filter blockage, filter damaged switches).

6.5.8 Operation of hydraulic system. (e.g. Mould carriage, mould closing systems).

6.5.9 Positioning of main and head moulds (in relation to each other and to the platen).

6.5.10 Operation of the extruder including position of die and pin.

6.5.11 Fixing of timer settings for each stage of the process.

6.6 Operational Qualification consists of checking the equipment (as installed) over its defined operating range in order to verify that it will perform consistently with the pre-determined limits.

6.6.1 Three or more test-runs should be performed in order to demonstrate through documented, certified evidence that:

operational parameters are maintained as pre-set for each test-run;

all controls, alarms, indicators, and sensing, monitoring and recording devices function correctly;

written procedures accurately reflect equipment operation.

6.6.2 Functions requiring attention in the specific context of F-F-S technology include:

the equipment/pipe-line sterilization process (including steam supply temperature and pressure, temperature mapping for "cold point" determinations; the overall profile of the sterilization cycle should be monitored in order to minimize the use of excessive heating and/or time at elevated temperature to bring the coldest part to the required temperature);

fluid and air flows, including mould coolant temperature and flow-rate and air supply pressure for each function;

timer settings for each stage of the process;

flushing and cleaning of all product and other fluid pathways (in respect of each product manufactured);

the filter drying process;

extrusion of polymer and formation of product units to the required specification (e.g. appearance, size, shape, wall thickness, fill volume, opening characteristics etc.; conformance to the specifications should be assessed for each change in variable such as mould shape and size, type of polymer, product formulation, product filter etc.);

filter testing - to cover the testing of all filters, and to include the establishment of filter test frequency for routine production.

6.7 Equipment must be certified as operationally qualified before any subsequent studies can be considered valid.

7. Environmental Considerations & MaintenanceIf F-F-S equipment is used for the manufacture of non-sterile products, then they should be installed in an environment conforming to normal GMP requirements for non-sterile products, unless the nature/hazards of the product requires special conditions or precautions. However, it is usually advisable to place the machines in segregated air-conditioned areas, in view of the heat and particulate contamination which may be generated.

Room Air Filter Test: Repeat at least annually, unless results of normal in-process monitoring indicate a need for more frequent or additional testing.

Air Velocity: Repeat at least twice a year.

Air Particle Counts: Determine as part of regular in-process monitoring with formal certification by a competent specialist agency twice a year.

Room pressure differentials should be monitored on a continuous, on-going basis.

Walls, floors and surfaces generally should be subject to a pre-determined program of cleaning and disinfection.

Maintenance of FFS Machine subjected to process validation.

8. Routine In-process Control and MonitoringAll this in-process monitoring and control should be conducted in accordance with a written, pre-determined program, which includes specified test limits and standards, and with all results formally reported and evaluated against those limits.

9. Aseptic Process Validation - Media FillsThe usual, and generally acceptable, method of validating a sterile filtration and aseptic filling process is the "Media Fill", - "Broth Fill", or "Process Simulation" technique, in which a liquid microbiological nutrient growth medium is prepared and filled in a simulation of a normal filling operation. The nutrient medium is processed and handled in a manner which precisely simulates the "normal" filling process, with the same exposure to contamination-risk (from operators, environment, equipment and surfaces) as would occur during routine manufacture. Sealed containers of the medium produced during the "media-fills" are then incubated under prescribed conditions and examined for evidence of microbial growth, and thus of an indication of the level of contamination in the units produced.

10. IncubationIncubation of medium-filled units should take at least 14 days and may be at room temperature for 14 days or may be at room temperature for the first 7 days, with the final 1 to 7 days at 30oC to 35oC. Alternate suitable incubation schedules may be used as determined by the pharmacy to ensure enough growth of any potential contaminating micro-organisms to be visually detectable.

11. RevalidationFollowing initial aseptic process validation, media-fills should be repeated to an extent, and at a frequency, which will depend on an occurrence of events or changes which may bear upon the potential microbial hazard to the process and product. Significant modifications to equipment or facilities, changes in personnel, undesirable trends in environmental monitoring results, and sterility test failures may all indicate an immediate need to repeat a full process validation protocol (minimum of 3 consecutive successful media-fill runs). During this time, the machine in question is taken out of service until any problems have been resolved, and the results of the three media-fills have been evaluated and found acceptable.

In the absence of any significant changes, or of any other events giving cause for concern, then a minimum re-test frequency should be twice per year per machine, or where the machines are operated on a continuous 24-hour operation basis, once per shift per year, that is, 3 times per year.

12. DocumentationA comprehensive outline of the protocol followed in the whole validation of the process should be prepared. The overview should indicate the steps performed, in proper sequence, and should encompass:

a. the approach taken;

b. justification of the approach based on the product factors;

c. summation of any modifications to the equipment required; and

d. any modifications to the protocol resulting from the study.

Expert Evaluation

An evaluation of the entire study against the protocol requirements as outlined above should be prepared and the conclusions drawn at each stage stated. The final conclusions should reflect whether the protocol requirements were met.

The evaluation should include an assessment of the ability of the planned maintenance programs for the F-F-S machine and ancillary equipment and instrumentation to maintain the validated conditions. In addition, all process monitoring and control procedures required to routinely ensure that the validated conditions are maintained should be reported.

The evaluation should be signed by duly authorized officers of the organization who were members of the team establishing the protocol, and who have appropriate expertise in the area assigned to. Overall approval of the study should be authorized by the head of the validation team and the head of the Quality Control Department.
