Coach’s Notes: “Innovative, ergonomic, designed to be installed in rooms with different class, and to save time and costs. The new integrated robotized blister line is a mix of innovation and the best of Italian packaging technology. Its new machine pitch control system, new cartoning section and innovative carton-opening and product-insertion system contribute to boosting production performance up to 320 blisters and more than 260 cartons a minute. All this is incorporated in a very small footprint, thanks to the integration of the blister thermoforming and carton packaging phases in a compact line."
Scout’s Notes: "The product infeed unit is easily fitted in place without tools. The parts have quick-lock couplings to make replacement and assembly work quicker and more accurate. The machine is supplied pre-arranged to fit a number of combined infeed units which makes product change-over operations easier. All the parts are designed so that the product flows easily and smoothly: each step is made with positive motion to avoid obstructions or blind spots. The dust extraction system has plenty of suction points distributed in a capillary manner right along the machine."
