ILC Dover Introduces Premier Closure System In Pharmaceutical Processing - CrimpLoc System

Request Information

ILC Dover pioneered flexible containment for the pharmaceutical industry and continues to innovate processes for better performance. We invented the original crimping system and now we have created the CrimpLoc System.

The new system is the next generation to provide high containment and a secure closure when using the DoverPac, Continuous Liner, and other ArmorFlex film solutions.

  • Less hand force and more ergonomic
  • One tool for all crimp sizes
  • Uses the same crimps as the existing ILC Dover Crimp System
  • Lightweight

Key Factors to consider for closure of in process pharmaceutical packaging:

  • Containment
  • Quality
  • Ergonomics/safety
  • No plastic shards from separation cut
  • Validation
  • Operator ease of use

ILC Dover offers flexible powder containment technologies, eliminating many of the problems associated with the use of traditional metal and glass systems for the pharmaceutical industry. The company applies flexible solutions to pharmaceutical potent powder containment during processing of bulk compounds and oral solid dosage manufacturing throughout the industry from North America to Europe and Asia.

As demonstrated by the Risk-MaPP principles, both current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) and industrial hygiene (IH) needs can be met by containing the process at the source. By employing flexible containment and using the logic diagrams from the Risk-MaPP process, cleaning is minimized and the operator is protected with this engineering control. As such, processes in multi-product facilities can be safely performed without the risk of cross contamination.

DoverPac flexible containment technologies offer:

  • Protection from potent compounds
  • cGMP for API and bulk manufacturers
  • Low capital costs
  • Rapid turnkey solutions
  • No risk of cross contamination in multi-process and dedicated facilities
  • Lowest cost of processing
