When it comes to packaging OTC pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and personal care products, manufacturers have long struggled with the need for multiple machines to handle different product types, formats, and closures. Now, Rotzinger PharmaPack has unveiled a breakthrough solution that promises to change the way the industry thinks about flexibility: the VarioFill platform.
At its core, VarioFill combines the capabilities of large, complex filling and capping lines into a compact, modular, and highly automated platform. Instead of investing in separate systems for liquids, solids, or creams, manufacturers can now process everything from eye drops and cough syrups to face serums, tablets, and capsules all on one versatile machine.
But the innovation doesn’t stop there. The platform’s space-saving design reduces footprint by more than 50%, making it one of the most efficient solutions in the market. Its modular structure means manufacturers can simply reconfigure the system with exchangeable stations and modules, cutting costs and slashing setup times. As Rotzinger describes it: “configure instead of construct.”
Gentle handling, maximum control
A key highlight is the platform’s intelligent transport system. Magnetically driven universal grippers eliminate the need for pucks or guide parts, ensuring containers of nearly any shape are transported gently. Add to that 100% in-process control (IPC) with precise weighing both before and after filling and manufacturers can be confident in quality at every step. From rotary piston pumps for liquids to counters for tablets and capsules, plus versatile closure stations for snap-on, screw, pump, or crimp caps, VarioFill adapts seamlessly to diverse product requirements.
The platform also incorporates fully automatic cleaning-in-place (CIP), ensuring hygiene, speed, and reduced downtime for fast-paced operations.
Market-ready and already winning trust
Even before its official market launch, VarioFill has impressed early adopters. Two lines have already been sold, with the first installation set to begin production soon. The overwhelmingly positive feedback highlights the demand for a cost-effective, flexible, and future-ready platform in industries where product changeovers are frequent and efficiency is critical.
Rotzinger’s VarioFill isn’t just a new machine it’s a paradigm shift in packaging efficiency, merging modularity, flexibility, and automation into one intelligent solution.
