Bosch Packaging Technology has launched the new rod insertion and labeling machine RIL 3060B and has further developed its RIL series, which consists of integrated systems for the insertion of plunger rods into syringes and precise application of labels.
The new RIL 3060B model is equipped with an integrated backstop assembly that increases the safe usage of syringes for end-consumers and offers fast handling. The system complies with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), requires minimal configuration and guarantees process safety.
According to Bosch, the system also detects the presence of preprinted labels that are precisely attached to the syringes. Correctly labeled Syringes continue down the line for further handling, while syringes with incompletely or possibly incorrectly printed labels are rejected.
The RIL 3060B model features controls including checks on proper rod placement and tip-cap presence for comprehensive quality assurance and also offers options such as a general reject or dedicated reject stations to classify and trace fault of various types.
Further options include locking doors, integrated in-process control, and additional format sets for a higher handling flexibility, the company said.
Label dispensers with conventional printers or laser printing facilities can also be included for online coding of labels and to avoid unnecessary waste a defective label detection and rejection system can optionally be installed.
The RIL 3060B has the capacity to process a range of syringe formats from 0.5 up to 20ml, with a maximum length of 150mm and handles up to 300 syringes per minute with six mounting stations.
