Explore the Kiefel Medical & Pharma world

Kiefel systems are used successfully worldwide for the production and filling of intravenous (IV) solution bags, total parenteral nutrition bags (TPN bags), dialysis and peritoneal dialysis (CAPD bags), and other specialty bags like drug delivery.

Over 5 billion bags are produced annually on machines designed and built by Kiefel.

Whether you opt for non-PVC, PVC or EVA as the bag material, with a tube or port connection component; we have the right welding and production technology. Our decades of experience in thermo-contact (TC), high frequency / radio frequency (HF/RF) welding and forming as well as filling complete our portfolio for the production of specialty single, double and multi-chamber bags used in the medical and pharmaceutical field.

Kiefel Form Fill Seal (FFS) solutions allow the processing and production steps to be combined and integrated within a single system: bag production, bag filling, bag sealing.

The need of any kind of blood product is high and shelf life is limited; which makes it crucial that not a single drop is lost.

We have the right production solutions for medical bags for blood transfusion, blood plasma, platelet, red blood cells, cord blood, stem cells or other special separations and applications.

These products can be welded reliably by high frequency technology, whether they are made of PVC or EVA.

We attach great importance to the fulfillment and monitoring of the highest quality criteria when it comes to the manufacture of sensitive blood bags and blood separation products, as well as to the filling of blood bags with CPD and SAGM solutions. 

Our innovative and sustainable solutions allow you to:

• profit from the highest efficiency and quality in production,
• maximize your output per square meter of clean room, and
• operate machines with the longest machine lifetime and best-in-class automation.

Every year, over 600 million blood-related bags, separation and filtration products are produced on Kiefel machines around the world.

Depending on the film material and components used, our specialists recommend either thermo-contact or high frequency welding technology for the production of urine bags, urine catheter bags or drainage bags. In accordance with the bag design requirements, various components and valves can be welded between the layers of material.

Catheters have become essential for patient care.  As your partner, we design and build your individual system solution for the production of urine catheter products.

We offer a wide range of solutions for the manufacturing of various urine catheter products; from processing the pre-fabricated catheter, welding the urine receiving bag, to manufacturing and integrating in-bag fluid dispensers into the receptacle, or applying lubricant along the catheter. 

Millions of urine catheter products are manufactured annually on machines developed and built by Kiefel.

We understand the sensitivity of issues relating to ostomy bags for the user. They must be comfortable and inconspicuous; they must be odor-free and never leak. With this in mind, we manufacture our systems to produce ostomy bags with the utmost focus on quality, comfort and reliability.

Every year, over 300 million ostomy bags are produced on Kiefel machines around the world.

Our know-how covers all areas of ostomy pouch production: closed or open bags, with e.g. inspection windows, activated charcoal filters for venting and odor prevention, soft adhesive adapters or hard plastic flanges, different materials and film layers, or label applications.

Our fully automated systems and our semi-automatic machines with manual component feeding are customized to your requirements.
