Development of Prototype - Inhaler Waste Shot Machine

哮喘药物是通过吸入器口服的，吸入器将药物“射入”呼吸系统。吸入器由一个装有药物的加压罐和一个装有该罐的塑料盒组成。据估计，每年生产的吸入器超过25亿个，生产的每一批吸入器在上市销售前都经过样品检测。测试测量罐/吸入器中第一、中间和最后一针的关键物理特性，中间针需要在一个称为抛丸的过程中安全地从罐中取出。废品处理机器的市场规模虽小，但仍在不断增长，价值很高。目前的废丸机是过时的，主要来自美国。诺维斯系统有限公司的经营战略是设计，开发和生产市场领先，高效，创新的废丸机。在成功的概念验证研究之后，第二阶段是开发新机器的预生产原型。

Asthma drugs are administered orally by an inhaler that “shoots” the drug into the respiratorysystem. An inhaler consists of a pressurised can containing the drug and a plastic case thatcontains the can. It is estimated that over 2.5 billion inhalers are produced each year and everybatch of inhalers manufactured has samples tested before being released for sale. The testsmeasure the key physical characteristics of the first, middle and last shot in the can/inhaler,and the intermediate shots need to be removed from the can safely in a process known as shotwasting. There is a small but growing, high value market for machines that manage the wasteshot process. Current waste shot machines are obsolescent, largely of USA origin. NoviSystems Ltd’s business strategy is to design, develop and produce a market leading, efficient,innovative waste shot machine. After a successful Proof of Concept Study, the second stage isto develop a pre-production prototype of the new machine.
