Preventive Maintenance Checklist of Bulk Packing Line (Pharma Pack 200BPM)  

A Bulk Packing Line is a specialized production line designed for the efficient packaging of large quantities of pharmaceutical products. The term “200 BPM” refers to the line’s capacity to process 200 bottles per minute.

These lines typically involve several stages, including:

Cartoning: The labeled containers are placed into cartons for secondary packaging.

Product Infeed: The pharmaceutical products, such as tablets, capsules, or powders, are fed into the line from bulk containers.

Counting and Filling: The products are counted accurately and filled into appropriate containers, such as bottles or blister packs.  

Inspection: Quality control measures are implemented to ensure that the filled containers meet the required specifications.  

Labeling: The containers are labeled with necessary information, including product name, dosage, and expiration date.
