Hydrokem News 2019

To ensure compliance with new GS1 barcoding requirements for medical devices we have purchased 2 laser coders for applying 2D barcodes and human readable data on to the base of cans.

The new coders will be installed on our aerosol and bag on valve medical device production lines in October.

The laser coders ensure a high quality 2D barcode is applied to every product we manufacture and, by placing the code on the base of the can, minimises or eliminates changes in product artwork for our customers.

This is part of our continuing investment plans at Hydrokem.

We are building a new dedicated healthcare and medical device blending facility which will commence operation in Q4 2019. The facility has been designed to manufacture a range of liquid based products, including powder suspensions and emulsions, to support the manufacture of healthcare aerosol and bov (bag on valve) products.

The facility will be ATEX rated for managing flammable solvents and products. This development is part of Hydrokem’s ongoing investment programme to increase quality standards and make Hydrokem the first choice for manufacture of healthcare and medical device aerosol and bov products.
