The Technology

As one of the most vital requirements for the production of pharmaceutical bottles is clean room technology, a combination of air and filter technologies set within an environment designed especially to meet the hygienic demands of such a room.

  


CLEANROOM production ensures bottles are produced in a dust controlled, clean environment. The CLEANROOM at SIMONPACK operates to the Class ISO 8 in accordance with ISO 14644-1:1999 (E), which is equivalent to the American standard FS 209E "class 100,000, a standard generally accepted throughout the world.

Only highly qualified staff wearing protective clothing are allowed to enter the modular clean rooms which is entirely separated from each another.

SIMONPACK became the first company in Hong Kong to injection stretch blow mould tablet and syrup containers, as well as to injection molding a wide variety of PE/PP closures in Class 1000,000 Cleanroom.

Materials used in manufacture comply with regulatory requirements with respect to Food Contact Regulations, FDA Standards and European Pharmacopoeia.

Many of our containers and closures are manufactured in accordance with our rigid design and manufacturing specifications to ensure the highest degree of uniformity. Compliance with relevant monographs of the E.P. can be documented by accompanying test certificates. The bottles and caps come to the packaging clean room while they are still hot and sterile. And then they are packed in polyethylene bags. All these procedures take place in a clean air environment. Internal requirements to quality include batch registration of all items to maintain the traceability needed, packaging material specifications, and written instructions for control procedures including quarantine.

 

Bottles and caps are evaluated randomly; gram weights, neck dimensions, taper/concavity, wall thickness, overall dimensions, surface treatment, short shot, leak check, cycle time, color and visual. As a final check, a finished goods control according to Military Standard 105E is carried out.
