Velocity® vials
The smooth way of fill & finish
A major problem in the fill & finish process of conventional borosilicate glass vials is the friction caused by glass-to-glass and glass-to-metal contacts. Frictional resistance reduces the transport speed of vials on the filling line and can cause vials to tip, to jam and scratch or break. Defective vials can cause production stops or - even more seriously - expensive recalls.
The solution: a friction-reducing and stabilizing outer coating for vials
A new generation of vials from Gerresheimer smoothly eliminates these problems. It features the Velocity® outside coating developed by Corning Inc., which speeds up the fill & finish process by reducing frictional resistance and minimizes defects in the glass. The fill & finish process becomes up to 50% more efficient with Velocity® vials.
Increased efficiency and throughput with Velocity® vials
Significant reduction of TCO
Velocity® vials speed up the fill & finish process and reduce machine downtime to a minimum. According to various studies, the increase in efficiency is between 20 and 50 %.
Seamless integration
Thanks to seamless integration, no changes to existing fill and finish lines are required to operate Velocity® Vials. This results in an immediate reduction in pharmaceutical production costs.
No additional regulatory approval
There is no need for an additional post-marketing drug approval process because the internal surface that comes into contact with the drug is not altered. Velocity® coating technology is compliant with European and U.S. health authorities.
No more jams on the filling line
Velocity® exterior coating prevents vials from snagging and jamming in turn tables, depyro tunnels, tracks and trays.
Fewer damaged, scratched and tipped vials
Velocity® coating reduces mechanical stress on vials. Production interruptions are significantly minimized as there are hardly any defective or tipped vials in the filling line.
Improved quality
Less friction also means a reduced particle load and therefore an improved end product quality. Velocity® vials present a visually flawless appearance and meet the highest quality standards.
Immediately available
Velocity® vials are available immediately in all major sizes for the European and American markets. We are happy to provide samples so that you can see the benefits for yourself.
Supplied in standard packaging
Velocity® vials are supplied in standardized trays and can be seamlessly integrated.
Velocity® vials perform significantly better on the filling line
Glass-related interruptions (in minutes) during filling of conventional borosilicate glass vials compared to Velocity® vials. 60 conventional batches were processed, followed by 30 Velocity® vial batches. The average batch size was approximately 130,000 vials.
The results were obtained in a case study of Corning Inc. with a CMO filling partner.
