SOVRIN | Technical Moulding

Drug Delivery Device

In response to an urgent demand for additional capacity for the production of a drug delivery device to combat a predicted pandemic, Sovrin embarked on a challenging programme to design, build from scratch, commission and validate a dedicated cleanroom production cell.

Project:

• Design & build a new cleanroom production cell (150 sq. m.) utilising lean & 6 Sigma techniques.
• Project manage construction and sub-contractors
• Specify and source plant - 5 moulding machines, 6 axis automation, conveyors & assembly machine
• Project manage mould tool manufacture
• Validation - mould tools, process, facilities
  
  

Outcome:

• From concept through validation and into high volume production in  less than 5 months
• Rate of output - 24/7 365 days - number of devices manufactured - 6,500,000 in year 1
• Reliability of plant, tools and process. Uninterrupted output to date exceeds 33 million
• Optimisation of process increased projected output by 16%
