Argumentum Pharma is completing the equipping of its new pharmaceutical plant in Moscow region's Dubna SEZ: high-tech automated filling and packaging lines have already been installed. Total investment in the project is estimated at 2.5 billion rubles, with commissioning planned before the end of 2026.
The Russian pharmaceutical manufacturer PFK "Renewal", operating under the Renewal brand, has commissioned a new production facility for the production of vital and essential medicines (VED) in the Novosibirsk region. The area of the complex exceeds 18.1 thousand square meters, and the design capacity reaches 100 million packages of finished products annually.
"VERTEX" is completing the commissioning of a blister-cardboard line with double-sided aluminum packaging, unique for its capacities. The new machine will become the tenth blister line of the enterprise and will allow to produce about 260 thousand packages by the end of 2026.
""""On Moscow Industry Day, Sergei Sobyanin opened a new production complex "Generium-Next" (GC "Farmstandart") at the Alabushevo site. The company will produce genetically engineered drugs for orphan and socially significant diseases for 8.5 billion rubles.
""PSK Pharma" company has completed a major project to modernize the production site of capsules with powder for inhalation at its own enterprise in the "Dubna" special economic zone. Investments exceeded 1 billion rubles, which made it possible to double the capacity of the line — from 80 to 160 thousand capsules per hour — and purchase new analytical and tablet equipment.
PJSC "Biosynthesis", one of the largest pharmaceutical enterprises in the Penza region, is preparing to launch a reconstructed production site for tablet dosage forms. The volume of investments in the project is 350 million rubles, and the implementation will increase the production of drugs, including those included in the list of VED.
Following the introduction of trade barriers by Western countries and the exit of some foreign drug manufacturers from the market, the Russian pharmaceutical market faced challenges, particularly in the innovative production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) for essential medications and insufficient funding for scientific research.
Experts from a printing company explained how pharmaceutical companies can work with premium packaging while complying with the regulator's labeling requirements.
Vials, bottles, cans, buckets and conical shaped cups have already become common and familiar to us in packaging of various products. In retail outlets, you can find a wide selection of products manufactured in such containers: yogurts, sauces, condensed milk, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, sports nutrition, cosmetic creams and others. In highly competitive environment manufacturers develop new, even more original and more convenient for the consumer containers on the basis of the main cone format (for example, an hourglass PET bottle, which is widely used for filling mineral water and sweet carbonated drinks).
Sachet is a type of individual packaging of portioned products that is widely in demand in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Demand for these compact packaging in the consumer environment is growing rapidly every year. This trend is primarily associated with mobility and convenience of sachets, which are the main companions of the modern buyer. The appearance and distribution of these packages is dictated by the current concept of the everyday rhythm of life, when everything you need is at hand, does not burden large volumes and provides flexibility of use.
The conveyor is an integral part of any filling line and acts as a connecting link between different technological sections. By means of a conveyor, containers move from one unit to another, which ensures timely washing, dosing, capping, labeling and other operations. The difficulty in choosing the optimal conveyor lies in the fact that the installation must meet all the necessary technical requirements in a particular production line and fulfill the task effectively, stably and safely.
Filling lines are technological systems for sequential execution of various packaging processes. Linear packaging systems are built based on modular architecture. Depending on the individual filling technology, the layout of the lines is carried out by washing, dosing, capping, labeling and other equipment. The connecting element between the sections is the conveyor along which the container moves.
The quality of packaging technical processes is one of the key criteria for product competitiveness. Correspondence of the actual volume to the declared one, hermetic capping and an even label have a significant impact on the overall impression of the consumer about the product. That is why responsible manufacturers carefully choose equipment, choosing in favor of reliable installations of reputable brands.
In any highly automated equipment, whether it is a linear automatic machine, a monoblock or a packaging line, there is always a conveyor system. The conveyor is a connecting element in the complex and provides timely supply of containers from one functional section to another. According to the constructive device and the principle of operation, conveyors are divided into several types, the most common of which are slat conveyors and belt-type conveyors.
