Evipharm/ Secupharm: an innovative integrated filled-in-line desiccant cap for bottles

Tuesday 06. May 2008 - The Rexam plant in Offranville, which specialises in primary packaging, has developed an innovative process which includes injection of plastic parts, automated assembly and desiccant filling.

From the quality standpoint, improved traceability and process control reinforce existing GMP compliance.

Secupharm and Evipharm were developed with pharmacopoeia compliant materials. Both fit 32 mm-neck bottles from 20ml up to 100ml, featuring thick HDPE walls to guarantee the best moisture barrier and ensure high rigidity.

Regarding supply chain, a shorter production cycle with fewer parts to assemble, leads to performance and improved reliability. These benefits come at a competitive cost thanks to a streamlined manufacturing process.

Evipharm has a filled-in desiccant ranging from 0.6g to 3.4g and tamper evident features.
Secupharm is the new reference in child-resistant “push-and-turn” closures, with the same tamper evident features as Evipharm.

Rexam can provide pharmaceutical customers with a flexible filled-in-line desiccant cap manufactured in an integrated process for best traceability and best quality.
