Injection Molding vs. Blow Fill Seal
Injection Molding and Fill and Seal
- Two-step injection molding is used for fill and seal. The vials first get molded, then they are transferred to the filling line. There, they are filled with product and heat sealed.
- The flexibility of Pentafill fill-and-seal machine allows for both small batch orders (1500 vials an hour) and large-scale production (15,000 vials an hour).
- The machine size is small and can be easily integrated into existing filling environments.
- Rapid parts exchange.
- The machine costs about 2-3 times as much as a BFS machine with the same production capacity.
- There are no wasted plastic materials.
- Multilayer packaging and calibrated drops are possible thanks to technology.
- Improved user experiences.
Blow Fill Seal (BFS).
- In one step, the vials can be filled and blown simultaneously. This can cause heat-sensitive products to be at risk.
- Regular BFS machines can fill 10,000 vials an hour and can’t be stopped once it is started. It is mandatory to work three shifts.
- The minimum recommended room size is 500-600 square feet.
- The time required to change molds can be extended.
- Investment costs are higher
- The parison produces large quantities of plastic waste.
- It is difficult to set up and maintain BFS machines. This requires skilled, well-trained staff.
