System for creating vacuum in blood analysis tubes

Role: Process Technology Manager

“The production of blood analysis tubes requires extremely precise control of internal conditions, particularly the vacuum level.”

Requirement

  • Creation of controlled vacuum inside the tubes
  • High process repeatability over large volumes
  • Automated handling of small components
  • Strict quality control on every piece

“Even minimal variations in the vacuum can compromise sample reliability. The process had to be extremely stable.”

Solution implemented

  • Automated system with evacuation and sealing stations
  • High-precision handling system for test tube handling
  • Continuous control of vacuum parameters and cycle time
  • Integration of verification systems to ensure product compliance

“We focused heavily on process stability and parameter control, rather than speed alone.”

Results

  • High uniformity of the vacuum level between tubes
  • Reduction of scrap and non-conformities
  • Increased productivity while maintaining high quality standards
  • Fully automated and traceable process

“Today we can guarantee consistent quality over large volumes, with a level of control that was not achievable before.”
