Renaissance Lakewood completed the installation and qualification of a new high-speed nasal spray assembly line capable of assembling and packaging unit-dose and bi-dose nasal spray devices at speeds of up to 200 units per minute.

The new state-of-the-art line combines the nasal spray assembly, labeling, blister packaging, cartooning, serialization and case packing to create a highly efficient and high-quality manufacturing process for unit-dose and bi-dose nasal spray devices.

The manufacturing line was developed with a range of inline controls that make it possible to manufacture and deliver our customers the highest quality products possible. The line includes several different quality inspection technologies such as camera inspection, force monitoring, and pull tests to ensure device functionality.

The features include:

• Inline inspection via camera of all the glass primary containers
• Micro vial inspection for chips and cracks
• Micro vial insertion and force monitored positioning
• Actuator mount and pull test
• Laser printed labels with quality grading
• Dual outfeed from assembly line to in-line blister packaging, cartooning, case packing, serialization, and palletization
 
Renaissance continues to operate the following unit and bi dose equipment which can support programs of any size:

• 4 high speed vial fillers
• 3 high speed assembly machines
• 2 clinical fillers and assembly lines
• non-GMP development filling and assembly

In a statement, the company said that its integrated lines offer customers redundancy as well as the ability to scale products from pre-clinical through commercial scale manufacturing.
