Abstract
Systems and methods for automatic and dynamic temperature adjustment and over-cooling of a rotary Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) manufacturing device to reduce the fill product temperature such as for filling of BFS vials with cold-temperature vaccines.
Claims18
A rotary Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) manufacturing system, comprising:
- a controller device;
- a rotary mold system in communication with the controller device;
- a parison head coupled to a supply of plastic resin and in communication with the controller device;
- a filling mandrel disposed within the parison head and comprising a mandrel cooling circuit;
- and
- a non-transitory memory device storing instructions that when executed by the controller device result in:
- setting, by the controller device, the mandrel cooling circuit to a first level of cooling;
- engaging, by the controller device and after the setting of the mandrel cooling circuit to the first level of cooling, the parison head, the rotary mold system, and the filling mandrel in coordination to produce a prefilled BFS container;
- and
- setting, by the controller device and after the engaging, the mandrel cooling circuit to a second level of cooling.
