  • Publication number: 20240131815
    Abstract: Disclosed are films and a packaging for gas or vapor decontaminable packaging applications and a method for creating a sterile packaging using the same. These films are particularly useful for sterile storage and transport of objects for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic uses, in particular of sterile pharmaceutical primary packaging means, like vials, ampules, syringes, or cartridges. Said film comprises at least a layer of a selectively permeable non-woven, a layer of a punctured film, and an adhesive which can be activated by energy transmission. Optionally it comprises further film layers. The method for creating a sterile packaging comprises the step of hermetically closing the packaging by activating the adhesive thereby making the non-woven impermeable.

  • Publication number: 20210347548
    Abstract: Packaging for the sterile storage and transport of objects for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications and a packaging process are provided. The packaging includes at least one bag made of a first and a second web, bonded to one another, a feature thereof being that the first web consists of a selectively permeable nonwoven fabric and that the second web consists of a laminated film with at least three layers, where the first layer is a polymer film arranged on the external side of the bag, the second layer is a lamination adhesive and the third layer is a polymer film arranged on the internal side of the bag. At least one of the layers of the second web includes one or more pigments. In an 8-bit greyscale image, the seal seam, imaged in transmitted light and contrast-standardized, is depicted within a greyscale value range of 50-200.

  • Patent number: 9796615
    Abstract: A bottom machine is provided for a glass processing device to manufacture glass containers from glass tubes. The bottom machine includes one or a plurality of holding units for holding the glass container or glass tube, with the holding units being mounted so as to rotate around an axis of rotation of the bottom machine in order to convey the glass container or glass tube to various processing positions, a pressure source for supplying a gas flow, a duct system communicating with the pressure source for directing the gas flow to the holding units and for feeding the gas flow into the glass tube or into the glass container, with the duct system being designed to be free of gaps.
