PPMA Round-up

Published: 1-Nov-2003


Cope Allman, specialist manufacturer of child-resistant and tamper-evident packaging, has completed its solid modelling facilities by becoming the first UK manufacturer to acquire new generation stereo lithography technology. This enables the user to create physical models directly from a virtual 3D-model, with a photo-polymerisation process based on layer-by-layer mask projection using proprietary digital light processing technology. Such a resource adds a new dimension to Allman's rapid prototyping capability. bridget.lambert@copeallman.com

First-time PPMA exhibitor Bwpharma was highlighting the links it has with a number of European companies. Swiss company Rohrer's Labscale blister packaging machine, the R550 Pro can be used for clinical trials. It has simple and quick-to-change tooling and is capable of handling alu/alu cold form and all thermoformable materials. Also on display were machines from CSAT, which developed the first complete digital inline printing system; Rondo Dividella, which showed a range of advanced pharmaceutical packaging systems; and machines from Kloeckner. www.bwpharma.com

Quin Systems, from Wokingham, was showing the R-Theta, its space-saving high speed product handling system, which could change production lines because of its small footprint. sales@quin.co.uk

Domino celebrated its 25th anniversary by displaying a range of innovative products including stand-alone coders, inkjet printers, secondary packaging equipment and sophisticated connectivity, networking and vision systems. avril.kirwan@domino-uk.com

Russell Finex was displaying its Vibrasonic Spiroscreen, which sieves powders on finer meshes with greater accuracy. It is part of the Russell Vibrasonic 2000 Deblinding system. sales@russellfinex.com

Mettler Toledo was exhibiting a range of Garvens S-Series checkweighers, including the CombiChecker, which has a metal detection unit, and the SQC16, a statistical quality control system. Other items included the FormXP, Mettler Toledo's new formula weighing software and FreeWeigh.Net, software which analyses and controls the variation of a process and complies with 21CFR Part 11 legislation. enquire.mtuk@mt.com
