Nano dispenser makes its debut

When this manufacturer of advanced airless dispensers needed a sophisticated automation system for its newest—and smallest—model yet, system reliability was high on the list.

Reliable assembly at 50 or 60 cycles/min is what Mega Airless gets from its automated system.
Reliable assembly at 50 or 60 cycles/min is what Mega Airless gets from its automated system.

Two years ago, Mega Airless started looking for another reliable automated systems partner to supply automated assembly systems for their latest “Nano” (5 to 15 mL) product model and a dispenser with a child-proof cap. Pfuderer, a specialty manufacturer of fast-cycling rotary transfer systems and a member of the internationally active teamtechnik Group, emerged as the preferred choice.

Mega Airless supplies airless dispensers to companies in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries: a plastic sliding piston in the product container equalizes the pressure within the company’s pump systems. When the product is pumped out (dispensed), the integrated sliding piston moves upwards by the amount of the removed product, preventing air from entering the product container. This method effectively protects creams, gels, lotions, and pastes from the effects of oxidation and prevents contamination.

“We believe it is essential to manufacture our new products with the same excellent functional reliability and quality as our customers have come to expect from us, and which we always provide,” says Haluk Cimentepe, Business Unit Manager for Innovation and Industrialization at Mega Airless. “And not only that but, by using smart engineering, every aspect of our production systems must have the flexibility to ensure the shortest possible set-up times for product variant changes, and to provide exceptional machine availability, so we can plan output reliably.” These were the critical factors that led the company to choose Pfuderer, says Cimentepe. “The company supplies reliable machines, with > 90 percent availability, that operate at between 50 and 60 cycles per minute, even when handling complex assembly tasks.”
