An opportunity, in any case for managers at Aptar of regaining control, in the midst of this debate, by recalling during a recent press conference, their unique expertise in this area, particularly concerning filling and vacuum snap-on, thanks to a comprehensive packaging solution.
Main advantages of the "Airless Concept by Aptar", according to officials, "a team dedicated to vacuum filling machines, contracts with fillers in the United States, France and Germany, conditioning machines that meet pharmaceutical and food standards, to be the only supplier capable of ensuring a vacuum packaging, a 100% control of all pumps and bottles and three types of Airless machines suiting different production rates."
A new patent for piston systems
And to claim the group’s lab expertise with drastic control criteria on air tightness, precise and consistent dosage delivery, restitution rates, product integrity and air return during drop tests, a guaranteed priming and icing on the cake, the preservation of the product’s integrity during use even with piston systems thanks to, among others (and that is a novelty), a new patent at this level insuring perfect air tightness. "After developing our ‘Irresistible’ solution consisting of a coextruded pouch, Aptar’s management said, we sought to develop a ‘Irresistible’ solution with a piston system to cover wider viscosity ranges. This resulted in this new patent which prevents any air contamination from the bottom of bottles to ensure complete air tightness to micro-organisms."
A series of arguments that will inevitably, and they are right, hit the bull’s eye in a market estimated at 500 million units a year, where growth rates each year, remain particularly high and where the needs in terms of preservation of a content consisting in fragile preservative-free formulas are increasing.
