Powder and liquid transfer specialist ChargePoint Technology has launched its new robotic material handling solution designed for increasing safety and efficiency in solid dosage drug manufacturing.

According to the company, the new robotics solution is designed to improve efficiency for manufacturers seeking to automate and update production processes. This could be revamping portions of existing lines to create semi-continuous cells or developing fully autonomous manufacturing for the more advanced facilities, the company explained.

Specifically, the solution seeks to prevent potential risks associated with manual intervention by eliminating ergonomic and manual handling issues in addition to reducing the risk of cross contamination from personnel.

Combining new PuroGrip, PuroVaso containers and the ChargePoint SBV, the robotic approach will allow manufacturers to upgrade their manufacturing practices by creating a handling system that can be deployed quickly from pre-engineered and off the shelf components.

The robotic PuroGrip has been developed to create a connection between robotic arms used in pharmaceutical process lines and ChargePoint’s range of lightweight PuroVaso containers. The PuroGrip will be used to dock PuroVaso containers into ChargePoint’s automated Split Butterfly Valve to create a contained solution for material transfer.
