Bosch Packaging Technology has introduced new topload cartoner, expanding its TTM product portfolio for pharmaceutical industry.
The new machine, Sigpack TTMP, is designed for packaging of ampoules, vials, syringes, pens and other products in the pharmaceutical industry.
Bosch Packaging Systems product manager Michael Haas said: "The Sigpack TTMP enhances our product portfolio with an efficient and highly flexible cartoning solution, especially for pharmaceutical customers. It is based on our successful TTM platform, which is already used around the world."
Featuring grippers with airflow technology, the Sigpack TTMP is capable of producing up to 200 cartons, while reducing changeover times.
Haas further added: "The patented changeover concept enables our customers to flexibly and quickly package various pack styles on one machine. This is especially important for increasingly small batch sizes."
The machine can also inspect the contents in the carton with the help of the vision systems and code verification capability.
Additionally, the discharging devices dispatch incorrect packs automatically from the system, ensuing process control and speeds up line clearance during batch change.
Sigpack TTMP can be integrated with the Sigpack TTMC case packer, thereby offering customers a uniform, user-friendly operating concept for the entire line.
The machine also has option to be integrated with the Bosch CPI software, which is designed to manage serialization from the allocation of serial numbers through to the last aggregation step.
It can also be integrated with modules for forming and inserting partitioners, package inserts and tray denesting.
Recently, Bosch introduced entry-level to mid-range vertical packaging solutions for the Southern African market Packaging lines.
