Applications
Dividella NeoTOP 1604 provides impact across different pharma packaging scenarios
Körber’s Dividella NeoTOP 1604 offers three levels of implementation to meet your needs: as a standalone machine, as part of a fully integrated line using your own equipment, or as a complete solution in which Körber manages everything—from design and engineering to integration of upstream and downstream systems.
The solution is designed for flexibility, scalability, and reliable performance across pharmaceutical applications, making it well suited for mid- to high-volume commercial packaging.
The Dividella NeoTOP 1604 supports large-scale production of parenteral products, including vials, ampoules, syringes, cartridges, and medical devices. With output of up to 160 packs per minute and capacity of up to 16 million packs per year, it delivers the throughput required for high-volume portfolios while maintaining consistent quality and operational efficiency.
