Company patents

Syntegon Technology GmbH

Syntegon Technology GmbH, despite its core focus on "Packaging Machines" (34.4% of portfolio) and "Conveying & Handling" (19.4%), shows a surprising emerging focus in "Pharmacy Containers / Devices," which grew by 33.3% so far in 2026, indicating a strategic pivot towards medical device solutions. Conversely, categories like "Containers & Packaging," "Plastics Shaping & Molding," "Cleaning Processes," and "Laboratory Apparatus" have seen a complete decline in patenting activity so far in 2026, each with a -100.0% YoY change, suggesting a significant shift away from these areas.

Device for closing pharmaceutical containers

Filed:2021-11-19Pub:2026-06-09
Applicant:Syntegon Technology GmbH

The invention relates to a device ( 10 ) for closing pharmaceutical containers ( 18 ) by means of closures ( 22 ), having a first holding device ( 12 ) for receiving at least one pharmaceutical container ( 18 ), a second holding device ( 14 ) for receiving at least one closure ( 22 ) for closing an opening ( 24 ) of the pharmaceutical container ( 18 ), wherein the two holding devices ( 12, 14 ) are mutually alignable, or are mutually aligned, in such a way that the closure ( 22 ) and the opening ( 24 ) of the container ( 18 ) are aligned with one another, wherein a plunger ( 34 ) and a counter element ( 40 ) are provided, wherein the plunger ( 34 ) and/or the counter element ( 40 ), by means of a drive device ( 36 ), can be driven and, relative to one another, moved, wherein, when the plunger ( 34 ) and the counter element ( 40 ) are moved towards one another when the drive device ( 36, 42 ) is driven, the plunger ( 34 ) acts on the closure ( 22 ) or on the container ( 18 ) in such a way that the closure ( 22 ) can come into contact with the container ( 18 ) and, in order to close the opening ( 24 ) of the container ( 18 ), can be pressed onto the container ( 18 ) by the cooperation of the plunger ( 34 ) and the counter element ( 40 ), wherein a force sensor ( 44 ) is provided, by means of which a force applied by the closure plunger ( 34 ) when the closure ( 22 ) is pressed onto the container ( 18 ) can be detected.
