Tailor-made packaging solutions from a single source

At this year’s inter­pack Mul­ti­vac will be exhibit­ing pack­ag­ing solu­tions for sen­si­tive prod­ucts. The high­light will be the RX 4.0 ther­mo­form­ing pack­ag­ing machine in GMP design, which will be pre­sent­ed to the vis­i­tors for the first time. In con­junc­tion with an inte­grat­ed han­dling mod­ule and an InteliJet HD print­er from Bell-Mark, it forms an effi­cient solu­tion for pro­duc­ing and print­ing com­bi packs con­tain­ing a syringe, fil­ter and vial.

RX 4.0 in GMP design for producing combi packs

The pack­ag­ing solu­tion is com­plete­ly enclosed in a hous­ing. In addi­tion to the machine’s com­pre­hen­sive sen­sor sys­tem, the new gen­er­a­tion of intel­li­gent dies also con­tributes to the high lev­el of effi­cien­cy, process reli­a­bil­i­ty, and oper­at­ing secu­ri­ty. Thanks to their high­ly devel­oped actu­at­ing sys­tem, the RFID-cod­ed X‑tools enable the die to be changed quick­ly and reli­ably dur­ing prod­uct changes. The pack­ag­ing solu­tion in Düs­sel­dorf will be used to pro­duce a com­bi pack. The RX 4.0 is equipped with an InteliJet HD print­er from Bell-Mark for cod­ing the packs. An inte­grat­ed H 242 han­dling mod­ule in the out­feed area removes the packs from the machine.

Carousel system for the separating and controlled loading of syringes

Mul­ti­vac is also show­ing a carousel sys­tem with inte­grat­ed H 242 han­dling mod­ule for load­ing syringes into com­bi packs. A high-per­for­mance vision sys­tem will be used on the car­ri­er sys­tem. This ensures that, even at high through­put, all the packs are inspect­ed for com­plete­ness, and it also checks whether the indi­vid­ual prod­ucts are loaded cor­rect­ly into the pack cavities.

Wrap-around labelling of cylindrical containers

Among the oth­er exhibits is a com­pact solu­tion for the wrap-around labelling of glass or plas­tic bot­tles. The L 320 con­vey­or belt labeller, com­bined with a MRT 100 rotat­ing infeed table and an out­feed table, will be on show in Düs­sel­dorf. The L 320 was spe­cial­ly devel­oped for rapid and pre­cise labelling of round or oval bot­tles, pots, or glass jars. Since the labeller is con­struct­ed of stan­dard mod­u­lar ele­ments, it can be per­fect­ly designed for the require­ments of the par­tic­u­lar sec­tor. The mod­el is also very ver­sa­tile when it comes to label posi­tion­ing. Labels can be posi­tioned on all sides, as well as over the pack edges or as wrap-around labels. The appli­ca­tion of seal­ing labels is also pos­si­ble. Thanks to a min­i­mum of for­mat parts, which can be changed very quick­ly, the L 320 can be con­vert­ed to dif­fer­ent prod­ucts with­in a short peri­od of time. The rapid change of label rolls, togeth­er with the use of low-main­te­nance com­po­nents, also con­tribute to the labeller’s high lev­el of availability.
