Operations where the glass tubes used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical glass containers are more subject to manipulation by operators are loading, quality control and packing. Manual intervention of operators on glass could increase the risk of cosmetic defects on the finished products and the consequent rejection of a great number of containers. This is one of the reasons why customers who are more and more oriented to continuous efficiency and quality improvement are particularly sensitive about these developments in reducing glass manual handling. Italian-based OCMI is a well-known supplier of equipment for the manufacture of tubular glass containers for pharmaceutical use. The company's product range includes a wide series of equipment aimed at reducing manual handling, increasing automation and efficiency.
