With over 50 years’ experience on the deep-drawn and surface treatment technologies , our aerosol and spray delivery aluminum components are designed to be compatible with your chosen drug delivery valves, devices, and filling lines. We are offering Soft Mist Inhaler (SMI) cartridges and Metered-Dose Inhaler (MDI) canisters. Customized sizes are also available. 


With our expertise on the drug delivery devices, we provide technical support to our clients from the stages of R&D to production scale-up and manufacturing.

Metered-dose Inhaler (MDI) Canisters

Metered-dose Inhaler (MDI) Canisters

The Anomatic deep drawing process ensures a consistent sidewall thickness using high strength aluminum which is far superior to other forming methods. The aluminum is work hardened during the deep draw process and the surface mechanically polished providing a smooth, hard internal finish suitable for all types of Propellant.

Metered-dose Inhaler (MDI) Canisters

Custom or Standard we are here to serve you

Our standard canister sizes are 10ml, 14ml and 19ml, withcustomized sizes available. Our canisters are also available inanodized and plasma coated finishes.

Anomatic's global headquarters is located in New Albany, Ohio (USA), with our center of excellence for inhalation and pharmaceutical packaging located in Suzhou, China. Anomatic is the world's leading supplier of anodized aluminum solutions and offerings:

  • U.S. and Asia based manufacturing
  • State-of-the-art facilities
  • Unmatched capacity at 2.5 billion units annually
  • cGMP compliant, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certified
  • Advanced surface treatment options
  • Unrivaled lead times

Metered-dose Inhaler (MDI) Surface Treatment Options

Anodized (MDI) Canisters

Aluminum anodization is an electrochemical process that enhances the strength, durability, and appearance of aluminum. When aluminum is oxidized, super-strong oxide(anodic) layers “grow” on the surface of the metal.

These new layers are highly resistant to wear and corrosion.The exacting part to part consistency achieved with our unique anodizing system cannot be obtained with conventional hoist line systems. Conventional anodizing systems present parts with varied coating thicknesses and voids formed due to air pocketing.

A consistent uniform 6 μm anodic film thicknesses will protect certain drug formulations and the canister from degradation. Heavier film thicknesses of up to 12μm can be provided to meet your more demanding application.

Anomatic Advantages:
  • A dedicated in-house and reliable anodizing process
  • Anodic film thickness is consistent.
  • Significantly improve the impurity level for MDI 
solution formulations
  • Leachable & extractable study are available.

Anomatic patented anodized process ensures the consistency of anodic film completely covering on the surface of aluminum canisters. This film acts as an effective barrier for many sensitive formulations. Anodized canisters are suitable to MDI solution formulations.

Anomatic coating system achieves a hydrophobic surface with a contact angle greater than 90 degrees. This helps to prevent the adhesion of the formulation to the canister wall. FCP plasma coated canister is suitable to MDI suspension formulations.

Plasma Coated (MDI) Canisters

Fluorocarbon Polymerization (FCP)

Anomatic’s dedication to providing cost effective solutions to the metered-dose inhaler industry has resulted in the development of a unique plasma treatment process that significantly reduces the surface energy of the inside of the canister. Using ultra-pure monomers, the Anomatic system achieves a hydrophobic surface with a contact angle greatert han 90 degrees. This helps to prevent the adhesion of the formulation to the canister wall.

Anomatic Advantages:
  • Coating does not change the dimensions of the canister 
that requests no changes on your chosen other drug 
delivery devices /filling lines.
  • Fully replicates the profile of canisters to ensure the 
coating consistency.
  • Hydrophobic low surface energy system to prevent the 
drug substance from adhesion to the wall of canisters.
  • High purity solvent- free gases
  • Environmentally friendly with a low carbon footprint
  • Leachable & extractable study are available.
