Why Buy From Us?

There are so many reasons to evaluate all factors when considering packaging machinery. Obviously, the quality of the machinery is paramount, but it's important not to discount after-market support. The fact that our customers continue to return is a testament to the boutique level of service they received during the purchase of their packaging machinery. Complicated regulatory processes are only made more challenging when not purchasing critical machinery from a company that truly understands your process. Just look at some of the value-added services we provide at no-cost.

No-cost metrology services We will calibrate your new sealer with all the associated paperwork and this NIST traceable calibration is free.

Package integrity laboratory No need to wonder what seal strength our machines will create. Let us prove it. Just send us your pouch for evaluation.

Certified packaging engineers Speak with a packaging engineer, CPP (certified packaging professinoal) certified through the institute for packaging professionals.

Parts and service center Receive exceptional service by highly trained technicians and our ship to you in 72 parts fullfillment promise.

Our highly trained customer care staff is cross-trained in order to provide a one-stop source for valuable information. Our company is known for its maverick customer service programs such as our no-cost validation education program, as well as our no-cost package integrity and calibration lab that utilizes state of the art systems to accurately evaluate and discover seal strength.

We recently instituted the Shipped to You in 72 parts policy. Our goal under this policy is to pull, pack and ship parts within 72 hours and, in the case of urgent request, parts and machinery can often be fulfilled the same day. We are constantly developing new products and services to better serve our valued customers, so remember it's more than just the machinery that you're purchasing. It's company attributes such as our in-stock guarantee on most of the machinery we offer, served up under a world-class customer service group. For more information, call 1-800-550-3854.

Van der Stahl continues to build on our outstanding reputation as a leader in the most advanced sterile packaging technology and our ethical business model. Perhaps this is why the biggest sector of our business growth is in company reorders.

Learn why companies such as Medtronics, Abbot Labs, Boston Scientific, Johnson and Johnson, NASA and the US Government have chosen Van der Stahl Scientific to partner with their critical packaging programs. Not only do we employ on-staff certified packaging engineers to support our technologies, we also have on-staff a certified management consultant to better implement our technologies into our customers' quality program.

Van der Stahl Scientific, a Company that Innovates

Ten years in product design and development and two US patents later, the MS-451PV is here.

This innovative new medical device packager will change the way medical device companies manage their sterile packaging program. With advanced integration, medical device quality teams can now manage in-process visual inspection and destructive testing on one integrated packaging machine. The MS-451PV medical pouch sealer controls all critical packaging attributes in order to ensure seal-to-seal consistency. An advanced transducer manages platen pressure that electronically feeds back data to the microprocessor in real time.

The MS-451PV medical device bag sealer also manages the platen’s thermal environment with a K-type thermocouple that is configured to sample pouch environment. But the MS-451PV does much more. This advanced system allows quality teams to program required stop and test functions into the machine. This function will automatically stop production, prompting the operator to perform first a visual seal inspection with our low angle of light 3x magnification visual inspection tester.

Run, Jump, Play

Ahh! The chance to run, jump and play like a child in the colorful geological playground of Joshua Tree National Park: Who of us, with a playful mind and the drive to explore, can resist the lure of gigantic rocks piled to the sky? OK, so we are not the 145 lb. free climbers that easily lift their body weight with two fingers. We are rather perennial hikers that love the challenges of pointing to a rocky mountain summit and saying "Let's see if we can get there."

These trips are largely rope less with climbing technology and nomenclature that is developed on the fly. Our favorite activity is shaming one another into jumping ever-increasing expanses between rocks. The moniker, "F-ing Baby!" goes to the individual that allows self-preservation to exceed his sense of peer pressure. At the end of the day every neuron in our brain is activated, taking in the huge data streams from our sore muscles and the visual explosions of the killer sunset.

It is an amazing phenomenon where one is so taken in by the scenery and the intense activity at hand that one is transported away from oneself. The essential armament for a successful day at Joshua Tree is as follows: several types of hummus, savory crackers, everything bagels and tons of water. For the ride home the essential CDs are Devo, Crystal Method, Oingo Boingo and BNL. Have fun climbing on the rocks and be careful not to "turtle! Where are great ideas born? For Van der Stähl Scientific the answer is outside.

At 6 am every morning at our marketing office located at an altitude of 6,000 feet in the small town of Idyllwilld, California, the Van der Stähl Scientific design team arrives one by one. After a few moments of stretching, our small employee group is underway. Heading east of our office we immediately begin the climb up the steep grade heading up the mountain past streams and waterfalls Just west Pacific Crest Trail we climb nearly 1,000 feet during our four-mile trek out of lower Valley. Again, the spirit of the Van der Stähl Scientific daily walk was built out of a genesis of fitness and sound body and great conversations.

But the much more profound benefit of this daily junket is the ambulatory intellectual round table that has generated dozens of ideas for packaging machinery. We have identified what we believe to be several shortcomings in so-called validatable packaging equipment. This year the Van der Stähl Scientific group plans to apply for a more patents to cover the technology borne out of these kinetic think tanks. Clearly, there is something to be said about free-range thinking.

Currently, our walks have been centered on a new technology in sterile packaging machinery that we truly believe will revolutionize how medical device pouches are sealed and validated. So, please feel free to visit our site often, as we believe that the technology borne from these energetic walks may well become the touchstone of sterile device packaging. Free from the management style, soup du juor, and cubicle-sequestered thinking, our design team has been nothing short of prolific in terms of innovative ideas generated from our daily walking meetings.

Our product development philosophy is similar to that of great companies such as Hewlett-Packard, where engineering ideas are developed during aggressive brainstorming sessions. Although we believe heavily in a strong, evolving continuum of technology for packaging equipment in development, we also understand that technology development for the sake of development can be problematic. From the very early days of new product development, we agreed not to generate bells-and-whistles, so-called "tradeshow features" to keep one flashing light ahead of our competitors.

Our goal is to design, integrate, and build technology that makes sense. This includes technology that will truly aid in the quality of the seals created by packaging machinery as well as sensible functional interfaces that can streamline critical processes such as sterile device validation. On the other hand, our design team also understands the danger of the feedback-loop, a system where ideas only generate from a small thinking environment or universe. We are constantly looking outside our design group for technology that can be improved, integrated, and adopted for the technology we are developing.
