ABSTRACT

Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) technology is a process for creating, filling, and sealing primary packaging containers in a continuous and integrated manner. The general operation of the equipment includes forming a plastic container using a mold and then filling and sealing the container in the mold in one continuous process. This entry provides a brief background of the technology and moves to a discussion of the BFS process and presents the benefits of this type of technology being used in place of others.
