Context & Challenges
A pharmaceutical laboratory specialised in in vitro diagnostics sought to develop a large-volume 250-litre bag for the packaging and handling of sensitive liquids.
This project was carried out in a demanding industrial environment, with strict requirements in terms of safety, mechanical performance and process compatibility.
Objectives
The customer was looking for a solution capable of meeting several key requirements simultaneously:
- Excellent mechanical strength, ensuring the integrity of the bag during filling, storage and emptying phases
- Integration of specific connectors, fully compatible with the existing industrial process
- Controlled permeability performance, in order to preserve the quality and stability of diagnostic liquids
The main challenge was to secure a large volume while ensuring perfect adaptability to the customer’s operational constraints.
