Round motion assembly platform for inhalers

Achieve high-efficiency assembly and inspection of inhalers and diagnostic devices with minimal spatial footprint, integrating seamlessly into your production line for optimal productivity.

The MRT Round Motion Assembly Platform from Harro Höfliger stands out for its compact, high-speed assembly of medical and pharmaceutical products. Utilizing precise rotary motion, this platform combines automated assembly, inspection, and dosing processes to efficiently produce metered-dose inhalers, diagnostic test strips, and transdermal delivery systems. The MRT’s modular design supports scalable production, integrating seamlessly with existing lines and upstream or downstream equipment. Capable of operating in clean room conditions (Class 100,000), it meets stringent regulatory requirements for pharmaceutical manufacturing. With options for electro-pneumatic or servo-motor control, it ensures both flexibility and precision in assembly operations. The MRT also minimizes space requirements while offering high throughput, reaching up to 80 cycles per minute, making it an ideal solution for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries seeking robust, customizable assembly solutions.
