Marchesini at Interpack 2017

Published: 28-Feb-2017

The Group will attend May 4–10 at Hall 8a (booth A65/A79) of Messe Düsseldorf at the venue for manufacturers of pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging machines

Customers will see five lines and 12 stand-alone machines that cover blisters to syringes, counting to stickpacks, jars, tubes and packaging into bundles and boxes.

Next to the integrated line, Unica, for packaging pre-filled syringes and the Stery line for aseptic packaging, will be some brand new machines.

Integra 520 V blister packaging

The lines Integra 520 V is the fastest of the robotic blister packaging lines made by Marchesini.

It will be exhibited together with the new labeller by Neri BLA 525 and the new fast bundler FA 04 by Multipack, which are both built to manage the flow of 500 cartons a minute incoming from the cartoner Cinquecento.

BLA 525 labelling

Among the strongholds of the BLA 525 is a patented indexing device that positions and sets the incoming cartons apart at a specific distance on the toothed belts with adjustable width, which prevent feasible slipping.

This conveyor system is associated with a logical Fail Safe reject system that ensures only adequate cartons reach the next machine. The BL A525 can fit all the printing and vision systems currently available to reach a rate of 500 cartons a minute.

These features make the BL A525 the most suitable for serialising and labelling cartons at very high speeds.

FA 04 Fast version carton production

This has been developed from the FA 04 Classical version. The new unit can handle a production flow of 500 cartons a minute (compared with the 400 cartons of the former machine), arranged in 50 bundles of 10 cartons.

Then there is the new MC 820 TT case-packer for Track and Trace needs devised to offer a complete line for customers’ requirements but also to be offered as a “standard” all-inclusive version.

Valida tablet tester

At the tradeshow will also be exposed a pre-feeder that handles about 3 thousand tablets a minute and utilises the new Valida technology developed in-house to verify the integrity of each tablet with feasible reject before feeding it into the blister.

Unlike traditional cameras that verify the product just from the top, Valida’s laser triangulation system is able to detect the thickness of the tablets; it can consequently identify those broken exactly in half and reject them, instead of having to reject the whole blister.

MAV 60 cartoner

A vertical line for jars has been set-up especially for Interpack with an end-of-line system consisting of the new cartoner MAV 60 - which compared with the previous version has a robotic product infeed and a system that stands the carton up, thus increasing speed – and the new automatic wrapper Farplus C.

Farplus C packaging processor

The constructional design of Farplus C focuses in particular on ergonomics to make size change-over and cleaning easier. It has a robotic product infeed and a product Bypass outside the machine to ensure non-stop production. It can process 80 packages a minute.

The machine can perform any type of closure requested, from standard closure to package individual products and grouped products, such as perfumes of all shapes and sizes, to dot sealing and tear tape closure for easy opening.

Stand-alone machines

Two new stand-alone machines will be on show at Interpack, namely the cartoner MA 400, a completely restyled project to improve ergonomics and user-friendliness and the BLA 420 CW for Track and Trace needs developed by the Neri division, which specialises in producing carton labelling and Track and Trace machines.

The BLA has a completely integrated load cell on the stepper conveyance system controls the weight of each carton.

This system is much more compact than the conventional solution (where the weighing unit is coupled in line) and than the main versions of competitors, who offer solutions with weighing units equipped with their own conveyance system and separate from that of the labelling machine.

BLA 420 CW

By integrating the load cell into the toothed belt system of the BLA 420 CW, this unit is able to verify the position of the cartons at any time.

If the weight is correct, the product undergoes the following operations (serialization, stamping and sealing), then it is sent to the next machine; if on the other hand it is incorrect, the following operations are not carried out and it is rejected according to the “Fail Safe” logic.

The model showcased is equipped with a new operator interface called “Easy Door”. This version has several improvements from both a functional and aesthetic point of view.

The new software makes the operating system more powerful and faster. The wider screen is more ergonomic and much more sensitive, similar to that of a mobile phone.
