PEPNOVA / THE PROCESS
From solution to a finished vial.
One step, one illustration. Follow the liquid and the vial through preparation, filling and packaging.
Follow the process- 01 / 11
Prepare the solution
Peptide powder and water are mixed in a vessel. Agitation keeps the solution uniform before it moves to filtration.

Filter the solution
The solution passes through successive filters before transfer to the filling system. This is the liquid path.

Arrange the empty vials
On a separate path, a rotating table brings empty vials into a single line, ready for cleaning.

Wash each vial
Vials turn upside down above the spray nozzles. After rinsing inside, they return upright and move to the next stage.

Heat, then cool
The conveyor carries washed vials through preheating, heat treatment and cooling before filling.

Fill and partly stopper
The two paths meet here. Needles dispense solution into prepared vials, then stoppers are partly inserted to leave a path for water vapour during drying.

Freeze and dry
Vials sit on shelves inside the chamber. The solution freezes, then dries into a cake; the shelves press the stoppers fully into place.

Seal the vial
An aluminium cap is placed over the stopper. The crimping head rolls its edge around the vial mouth to secure it.

Inspect and separate
Each vial turns in front of the camera. The illustrated inspection separates accepted vials from those flagged for rejection.

Apply the label
A label peels from its backing and wraps around the rolling vial, adding its product identification.

Pack the vials
Labelled vials gather into a group. The pick head lowers ten vials into a transparent molded tray in a 4–2–4 arrangement. A separate clear lid closes the pack.
