Pharmaceutical Packaging Equipment

Glass, plastic, aluminum, and other metal beverage containers

Equipment Capabilities

Pharmaceutical manufacturers must maintain strict quality standards and contamination control while handling containers, from plastic bottles and jars to tubes and vials. These facilities face constant regulatory scrutiny and cannot afford any issues that could compromise patient safety. Having the right packaging equipment helps pharmaceutical companies solve these challenges while meeting tight manufacturing and shipping deadlines.

At Ska Fabricating, we understand the importance of contamination control and regulatory compliance in pharmaceutical manufacturing. We have worked with pharmaceutical facilities that require equipment capable of handling all types of containers. Our solutions allow operations to manage different container types while maximizing production quality and efficiency.

Moving your pharmaceutical containers requires the utmost care.

Glass, plastic, aluminum, and other metal containers come in various shapes and sizes, and we have experience working with many of them used in the pharmaceutical industry. Ska Fab offers both automatic and manual systems that are perfect for handling these containers.

Automatic depalletizers for glass, plastic, and metal containers

The HHA and FHA 5000 series of depalletizers have a lifting capacity of up to 4000 lbs. When you need a reliable solution for unloading your glass bottles and jars, let’s examine your pallet specs and find the right solution.

Ska Fabricating has used the FHA 3000 and HHA 5000 to unload pallets of various-sized plastic pharmaceutical containers weighing up to 1,000 lbs.

Manual depalletizers for your glass, plastic or metal containers

Ska Fabricating’s manual depalletizers are a cost-effective and efficient solution for unloading bulk layered pallets. They feature an integrated lift mechanism that seamlessly handles various container types and materials.

Additional equipment for your pharmaceutical containers

Ska Fabricating manufactures not only depalletizers but also palletizers, multiple conveyance and accumulation systems, flame treatment systems, and semi-automatic baggers.

Top-Class Packaging Equipment for the Pharmaceutical Industry

Our automated pharmaceutical packaging lines control the movement of containers across each production phase. These solutions use sensors, lifting mechanisms, arms and rails to efficiently move containers from workstation to workstation.

Examples of these components include:

  • Automated depalletizing for pharma bottles: Designed to handle fragile glass and plastic pharmaceutical containers while helping to reduce the risk of damage or contamination.
  • Controlled-speed conveyance: Move containers between production zones at appropriate speeds to help prevent spillage and maintain product integrity.
  • Accumulation areas: Create buffer zones that support space efficiency and align with pharmaceutical cleanliness requirements.
  • Date coders: Apply expiration dates and lot numbers directly onto containers as part of the production process.

4 things to consider when looking for a depalletizer

When selecting a depalletizer, several key factors must be considered: speed, space, pallet weight, and budget. These factors will help us determine what machine will effectively meet the specific requirements of the job at hand.

Meeting the speeds of your filler is a priority. Adding the proper conveyance can shave off precious time. Once we know your requirements, we can suggest options such as:

Several important factors must be considered regarding the plant layout. Are your floors level? Will we need to go through any walls? What is the height of your ceiling?

Once we gather all the necessary information, we can get creative with the layout to propose a solution that fits your space – no matter how small!

Ska Fab offers a range of innovative depalletizers designed to efficiently unload pallets weighing up to 4,000 lbs. The FHA 5000 and HHA 5000 ensure that even the heaviest loads can be managed smoothly, minimizing downtime and increasing productivity in your operations. If your needs involve pallets containing lighter materials, such as cans or plastics, we’re happy to discuss alternative solutions that are not only effective but also more affordable.

It is important for us to discuss the budget at the outset of our planning process to prevent any potential disappointments later on. By establishing a clear financial framework from the beginning, we can ensure that all decisions align with your project. The key is prioritizing our investments by focusing on what is necessary so the equipment we quote is the best for the job.
