- Easy cleaning & maintenance
- Line clearance ready
- Product integrity focused
GMP-Focused Design Built Into Every System
Tekpak designs packaging automation systems with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) at the core. Every machine is engineered to support hygienic operation, minimise contamination risk, and ensure consistent product quality.
Our approach ensures that systems are not only high-performing but also aligned with the strict requirements of pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device manufacturing environments.
Design for GMP
Tekpak machines are designed with a GMP philosophy. This means that the machines are hygienic by design and the quality and integrity of the product, packaging and data are maintained throughout the machine processes.
We take great care during the design process to ensure the requirements of the Industries that we serve are met.
We understand that our clients operate in a Good Manufacturing Process environment and that there are certain pre-requisites for machinery in this environment.
GMP Design Features
Our machines are designed in accordance with GMP principles, focusing on cleanability, accessibility, and product protection.
1. Hygienic Design
Machines are constructed using stainless steel and designed to minimise contamination risks while supporting easy cleaning and maintenance.
2. Cleanability & Accessibility
Open-frame designs and accessible components allow for effective cleaning, inspection, and maintenance without unnecessary downtime.
3. Line Clearance
Systems are designed to enable fast and reliable line clearance, reducing the risk of cross-contamination between batches.
4. Product Quality and Integrity
Careful handling, controlled movements, and stable system operation ensure consistent product quality throughout the packaging process.
