Market Background

In recent years, the North African pharmaceutical market, particularly Algeria, has been accelerating the localization of essential medicine production to reduce reliance on imported drugs. As ophthalmic liquid formulations are high-frequency sterile products, local enterprises have shown a strong procurement demand for highly precise, ultra-clean pharmaceutical automation lines that fully comply with international cGMP standards.

Client & Application Scenario

Our client for this project is a rapidly growing pharmaceutical company in Algeria. To expand their ophthalmic liquid capacity, the client constructed a new sterile formulation workshop. The core application scenario involves the continuous batch production of 5-20ml eye drops. Given the extremely high requirements for sterile isolation and micro-dose dispensing precision in ophthalmic liquids, the client urgently required a fully automated packaging compact line integrating bottle sorting, high-precision filling, capping, labeling, and cartoning, capable of long-term stable operation.

Our Solutions

Addressing the client's stringent requirements for high cleanliness and stability, we customized and delivered a turnkey eye drop filling and packaging line:

• Top-Tier Electrical and Drive Configurations: The entire line utilizes Siemens PLC control systems and Schneider low-voltage electrical components. Core moving parts are driven by Servo Motors, ensuring absolute precision and synchronization during the filling and capping actions.

• Aseptic and Compliance Design: The core filling and sealing zones strictly adhere to current cGMP standards, featuring interfaces for Class 100 (Class A) laminar flow hoods. All contact parts are made of 316L pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel to completely eradicate cross-contamination.

• Full-Process Technical Empowerment: From Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) to overseas delivery, we provided full-cycle follow-up services. We dispatched a senior technical team to assist the client with on-site installation, pipeline connection, and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) at their Algerian facility.

Client Feedback

Currently, the entire equipment line has successfully passed Performance Qualification (PQ) and officially entered the mass production phase. The client's Production Director reported that during full-load trial runs and mass production, the servo-driven filling system demonstrated extremely high dosage consistency, and the capping qualification rate fully met expectations. The client specifically expressed high satisfaction with the professional technical support and rapid issue-resolution capabilities our team demonstrated during the overseas installation and commissioning phase.

Summary & Key Technical Parameters

The successful mass production of this Algerian project validates the reliability of highly configured mechatronic equipment in cross-border sterile pharmaceutical projects. The core technical parameters of this production line are as follows:

• Applicable Formulations & Capacity: 5-20ml Eye Drops / Ophthalmic Liquids

• Electrical & Control Systems: Siemens / Schneider

• Core Drive Mechanism: Servo-driven

• Compliance Standards: Fully compliant with international cGMP standards and sterile production requirements

• Equipment Status: Installation and commissioning completed; currently in stable mass production

Conclusion

By delivering top-configured and highly stable pharmaceutical packaging equipment, we continuously empower the local pharmaceutical industries in North Africa and emerging global markets. The successful implementation and mass production of the 5-20ml eye drop compact line project in Algeria not only establishes high-standard sterile liquid formulation capacity for our client but also further solidifies our global delivery and service capabilities as a professional B2B pharmaceutical packaging line supplier.
