Romaco’s fully integrated Noack
Unity 500 blister packaging line in monobloc design is a turnkey solution
for packing pharmaceutical solids. Thanks to its extremely compact design, this
primary packaging unit takes up very little space in the cleanroom where the
open product is processed. The packaging machine’s designers positioned the
individual stations – such as forming, feeding, sealing, coding, perforating
and die-cutting – very close together for this reason.
The result is a blister technology that
is up among the leaders in the mid-performance class in terms of both space use
and output, with a remarkable 500 blisters and 400 cartons per minute. The
intuitive HMI panel, with its short learning curve, is a further advantage of
the user-friendly blister line. The highly automated system concept is
self-explanatory and requires no specialist expertise on the part of the
machine operator.
Since the Romaco Noack Unity 500 can be
equipped with various feeding units, the technology can be used very flexibly
to process pharmaceutical solids in numerous different shapes and sizes. If
required, the blister line can even be configured for packing multi-phase
preparations.
Equipped
with Romaco Noack’s patented QuickFeed feeding system, the Unity 500
speeds up product changes because the complete module can be replaced in a few
simple steps. A considerable time saving is thus possible by providing a second
unit. The optimal access to all components moreover simplifies cleaning of the
blister line. Reproducible format parameters and QuickAdjust, the automatic
station control system, simultaneously reduce the run-in times to almost zero.
After the primary packaging is done, the finished blisters are passed directly
to the intermittent motion cartoner’s bucket chain by means of a vacuum
assisted overhead conveyor and QuickTransfer, which works according to the positive
transfer principle. Separate servo drives ensure safe operation at the
individual stations. In short, the Unity 500 blister packaging line from
Romaco Noack offers excellent opportunities for improving overall equipment
effectiveness (OEE).
