Ferrara, Italy: – Bonfiglioli Engineering (BE) successfully showcased a wide range of its leading-edge BE pharmaceutical packaging testing and inspection solutions at June’s big ACHEMA chemical engineering and process trade fair in Frankfurt.

The event was remarkable for the international debut of BE’s new SAIL (Smart Automated Inspection Laboratory) solution purpose-designed to conjugate sensitivity performance, productivity as well as flexibility to inspect different container types, sizes and contents.

Countdown to SAIL launch

A large monitor in the Bonfiglioli stand displayed a digital countdown to a formal SAIL launch that took place at noon on June 11, Day One of the ACHEMA show. Following a welcoming speech by Managing Director Andrea Cavanna, stand visitors and guests toasted the debut of SAIL.

SAIL combines a spectrum of testing and inspection technologies with integrated software and IT support to create a revolutionary all-in-one solution for laboratory decision-making and assessment.

Stars of show

Bonfiglioli Engineering, key member of the TASI Group of ten international companies, exhibited from Stand C70 in Hall 3.1 at the Frankfurt Messe exhibition fairground alongside stablemate SEPHA.

Other stars of the BE display included LaserCube, the benchtop-sized Headspace Gas Analysis (HGA) machine that measures headspace level of gases and monitors moisture levels in ampoules or vials, as well as cartridges and pre-filled syringes, and LF-S11 SY, the CFR21-compliant non-destructive, single-head leak testing machine suitable for laboratory applications, statistical purposes and off-line testing of pre-filled syringes and injection devices.

Non-invasive and non-destructive

All machines were subject of daily demonstrations on the stand throughout the five days of ACHEMA to confirm key features and benefits such as high leak detection sensitivity, non-invasive and non-destructive testing, ease of maintenance and fast tooling changeovers.

“We were happy to return to ACHEMA and once again found this is the perfect platform for Bonfiglioli Engineering to showcase its latest innovations based on container closure integrity testing, visual inspection and headspace gas analysis, along with complementary technologies,” commented Bonfiglioli Engineering Sales & Marketing Manager, Andrea Cavanna.

“In all the new solutions we placed on show, we were able to confirm that our companies continue their 40-year progress in technological innovation,” said Mr. Cavanna.
