What technologies do we have?

 

I. Technologies for production sprays in pressurised or unpressurised version

AVEFLOR, a.s. has produced sprays since its foundation in 1995. Aerosol packaging of products is a simple dosing system.
We fill our products into these types of aerosol containers:
  • steel/metal
  • aluminium
  • glass
  • PET (plastic aerosol container). In 2015 we were one of the first to introduce the technology for filling PET aerosol containers. The advantage of this package is the 100% recyclability of the packaging.
The container holds a mixture of liquids, powders, emulsions or suspensions, and propellant gas, which pushes the mixture of the container out by overpressure of approximately 0.4 to 0.9 MPa.

II. Technology for manufacturing BoV sprays

The main advantage of the technology known as BoV (bag-on-valve) is the separation of the product from the propellant gas and  thus the prevention of mixing the propellant and the  product. The product is filled into a valve with a bag (usually aluminium) and  the gas (nitrogen, compressed clean air) is propelled between the bag and  the container. 
BoV (Bag-on-valve) aerosols include solutions, emulsions, suspensions, gels, or foams in  a separate bag, which is part of the aerosol valve. In  the space between the wall of the aerosol container and  the separate bag there is a propellant gas, which under the pressure of approximately 0.7-0.9 MPa pushes the content of the bag out of the container.

What are advantages of this technology?

  • absolute protection and  integrity of the product
  • prevention of mixing the product with the  propellant gas
  • safety: filling only with compressed air or nitrogen
  • VOCs propellant gases are not used
  • Environmentally  compatible
  • the aerosol is functional in  any position
  • possibility to use the aerosol forms also in  the case, where classical technologies fail (gels, suspensions, and  emulsions)

What products can be manufactured as BoV aerosols?

  • gels (hair and  body gels, shaving gels, gels for medical, food, and  technical use)
  • solutions, suspensions and  emulsions
  • hair and  body preparations, liquid soaps, cleansing cosmetics preparations
  • medical devices and  pharmaceuticals
  • products, which cannot tolerate contact with  the propellant gas
  • products environmentally  compatible

IV. Technologies for filling gels, creams and  ointments into tubes and  airless dispensers

We possess technologies that allow us to fill into these types of tubes:
  • plastic
  • laminated
  • aluminium
Gels, creams, and ointments are prepared in  stainless steel tanks in sizes of 0.6 m3 and  2x 2 m3. From the tanks they are transported through stainless steel piping, or using barrels to   the UNIKO filling machine, placed in  „the cleanroom“. The filling machine fills the gel into a tube and  seals the tube.
We are also able to fill gels, creams, and  ointments into airless dispensers.
The filled sealed gel is usually packed by a cartoning machine in cartons with  the package leaflet. We can place a 2D code for pharmaceutical products on cartons. In  the next step, each product is marked with the batch number, statistically weighted and  packed in group packaging.
Suspension tank

Individual phases of production

  • Solutions, suspensions, or some emulsions in AVEFLOR, a.s. are prepared in 3 stainless steel tanks of 1 m3 volume, in a stainless steel tank of 3.6 m3, in pharma storage tanks of volume 1x 3 m3 and 2x 1,5 m3 or in mobile tanks of a smaller size. Conventional emulsions are prepared in duplicated stainless steel tanks in sizes of 0.6 m3 and 2x 2 m3.
  • From the tanks, the solution, emulsion or suspension is pumped through stainless steel pipes to the filling lines of the Swiss company PAMASOL (Macromat 2045 and  Micromat 2015) placed in the „cleanroom“.
  • Filling heads dispense the bulk product into the container, seal it with an aerosol valve and they add a suitable propellant gas through the aerosol valve.
  • The filled and  closed container is on the filling line in  the adjusting room completed with a sprayer, applicator or spray cap, closed with a lid, labelled, printed with a production batch number and statistically weighted.
  • The final aerosol products are packed into group packaging according to customer requirements. They are packed into stretch foil or are inserted into cardboard boxes. On the group packaging, a black and white label by a Willet printer is made, or the products can be placed into printed cardboard boxes.

III. Technologies for the production of liquid pharmaceutical products in plastic or glass containers

Since 2015, we have been offering the production of pharmaceutical or medical products using a newly installed and validated production line for liquid products. Using this line, we are able to fill in  the automatic operation products from 10 ml do 1 000 ml. Bulk products are prepared in pharma-tanks at  a volume of 1x 3 m3 and 2x 1.5 m3.
All equipment has the installation, operational, and  process qualification  including software, which controls the whole production process from raw material weighing up to their dosage according to the approved formula into production tanks. All activities associated with  the open form of materials or solutions take place in  newly established cleanrooms.
 
A part of commissioning of the production facility was also  validation of cleaning the individual production facilities.

V. Technology for the production of suspension products

In a special tank, we are also able to produce  suspensions. This tank allows continuous stirring and  a steady motion in all parts of this tank. Moreover, it is connected to the circulation piping to   the filling machine and   from the filling machine. The suspension is in constant motion  which allows precise filling into aerosol containers. We use this technology for the production of powder sprays. One of the very successful products is bleed stopper developed in  our laboratories.
