UMEDO GROUP

Umedo Group is a national manufacturer of medical devices with a full technological cycle. It is the largest enterprise in Ukraine for the production of injection syringes with a capacity of over 500 million units. per year, which allows to meet the needs of medical institutions in the country in syringes and reduce dependence on imports.

According to the company’s director, Anatoliy Kornienko, the construction of a modern plant specializing in the production of medical devices is designed to provide domestic consumers with quality injection syringes at an affordable price, as well as promote the country’s economy and prosperity of Ukrainians.

The project was completely developed by South Korean specialists. Together with Ukrainian colleagues, work was carried out on its implementation in the village. Makariv, Kyiv region.

The project developed an enterprise for the production of medical devices at 62 Vatutina Street in the village of Makariv, Kyiv region. The object of design is a detached building, one-storey in total with administrative premises on two floors with a basement. The designed facility is designed for the production of disposable syringes and capsules for blood collection from thermoplastics.

The main building of the enterprise is a 1/2 storey with a basement, the building of the production building with dimensions in the extreme axes of 159×71.5 m.

The composition of finished products is designed in axes 1-2. The height of the warehouse to the bottom of the protruding structures is 12 m and refers to warehouses with high storage.

Axes 3-9 design industrial premises with built-in domestic premises. The height of the production premises to the bottom of the protruding structures is 6 m. In axes 3-6 / A-M “clean rooms” are designed (the detailed limit of “clean rooms” is reflected in the planning). The height to the bottom of the suspended ceiling in the “clean rooms” is 3 m. In the axes (7 / 3-9) – (A-B) there are living quarters for employees of industrial premises.

In the axes (10-11) – (A-M) administrative and domestic premises are designed. Administrative and domestic premises are designed 2-storey with a basement.

The construction of the complex is planned in two stages, with the allocation of launch complexes.

The volume of the first launch complex envisages the construction of all necessary buildings and structures and the installation of technological equipment that will allow to produce 250 million disposable syringes per year.

The volume of the second launch complex is expected to be supplemented with technological equipment, which will allow to produce 500 million disposable syringes and 300 thousand blood collection capsules per year.

At the designed enterprise there is a full production cycle for the manufacture, labeling, assembly, packaging and control of syringes, sterilization of syringes; manufacture, labeling, assembly and packaging of blood collection capsules of various sizes and configurations. The main parts of the technological process are automated and take place with the help of remote control and automatic control devices.

The project envisages two autonomous technological processes: production of syringes and production of blood collection capsules (vacutainers).

The technological process of production begins with the receipt of raw materials by truck to the general warehouse. Bags and containers with polypropylene granules are unloaded by hydraulic carts and filled into closed tanks in the raw material warehouse. Bags with polyethylene for the production of blood collection capsules are placed on a separate section of the raw material warehouse, near the line for the production of blood collection capsules.

Raw materials for syringes are transported through a closed network of pipelines using an automated, fully sealed supply line, which is based on a pneumatic method of suction, preparation and transportation of raw materials. Raw materials are extracted from tanks and fed to peripheral equipment: drying system, grinding, dosing and mixing system, and then to casting machines (automatic molding machines).

The line of automatic supply of raw materials consists of the vacuum generator, the central filter, supply stations for separate cars, system of pipelines and the central system of management and control.

The supply of raw materials for blood collection capsules and their drying is automatic.

The company is a closed process of reuse of residues formed during the melting and molding of polypropylene and polyethylene products. Waste of raw materials is removed from automatic molding machines with the help of robots and conveyed to sealed crushing units, where they are crushed and re-entered into the storage hopper of the automatic molding machine. Grinding takes place in closed sealed shredders operating at low speeds.
