Micro dosing machines: Micro 9/18 line competence Our lines configurations can be tailored according to your facility layout, your materials handling and personnel flow. A dedicated engineering study is usually performed at the very beginning of our mutual cooperation in order to help you defining the final User Requirements Specifications and the Design of your new fill-finish facility. Our machines can be interfaced with any kind of pre-existing upstream and downstream equipment such as freeze-dryers, external washing machines, automatic inspection machines and so on. 20
