Wiewelhove, Bosch and GKF – an unbeatable team

Equipment with no downtime, reliable performance and high product quality – this is the key to manufacturing pharmaceutical products. For more than 15 years, Wiewelhove has been using the GKF capsule filling technology from Bosch Packaging Technology for solid pharmaceuticals contract manufacturing. With success: the machine, which runs in multiple-shift operation, convinces thanks to its robust design and continuous maintenance.

Safe, gentle and flexible capsule dosing:the Bosch GKF capsule filling technology.

Huge advantage: flexibilityThe bulk density of products varies es-

pecially in the production of phyto phar-

maceuticals based on different herbal

agents. The experts from Wiewelhove

receive reliable product results with

regard to the mass thanks to the height-

adjustable dosing disk of the GKF.

Future-proof filling The GKF from Bosch is a machine that

truly keeps up with the times. Numerous

upgrade options make sure the capsule

filling machine is always state-of-the-art.

For instance, it was recently comple-

mented by a mechanical cleaning station

to prevent sticky powders from getting

stuck in the capsule carrier segments.

This results in a constantly high product

quality – for chemically defined drugs,

phyto pharmaceuticals, nutritional sup-

plements and medical products alike.

Wiewelhove GmbH is a family- owned, international contract manufacturer of solid oral dosage forms for pharmaceuticals, medical products and nutritional supple-ments. The service portfolio ranges from technological development and optimization, manufacturing, packaging and analytics through to production-related activities such as analytical method devel-opment, validation, stability tests and dossier work. Equipment for all common manufacturing processes is available for herbal and synthetic agents in solid dose production. Apart from capsules, tablets and pellets, Wiewelhove also produces film-coated tablets and dragées, which are packed in blisters, cans and sticks.

Flexible capsule filling for pharmaceutical productsThe GKF capsule filling machines from

Bosch stand for modern, flexible and

safe filling operations. Whether it is

used in the laboratory, for the manufac-

ture of clinical samples, or in industrial

production – the GKF accompanies a

product from the first laboratory tests

and clinical studies through to market

introduction and multiple-shift batch

production.

The history of capsule filling machines from Bosch Packaging TechnologySince the 1950s, Bosch and its GKF

machines are among the pioneers in the

development of filling machines for hard

gelatin capsules.

All common solid and liquid formula-

tions can be filled on these machines.

The integration of cutting-edge control

and measuring technology ensures the

highest efficiency and offers function-

alities for integrated process analyses.

Sensors for net weight detection, as well

as capsule checkweighers of the KKE

series complement the GKF range.

The filling stations meet all require-

ments of a modern and resource-saving

production. The patented slide gate

system reduces powder loss by up to

50 percent.

The Bosch GKF capsule filling machines

are especially durable and of stable

value.
