ASV 60

The new ASV60 Pharma is a result of the latest technologies available, with strong attention focused in answering the growing GMP requirements in today’s market place. It is suitable to handle a variety of pharmaceutical products as ampoules, vials, syringes and capsules including integrated partition pre-formed or from flat blanks.
The partitioned cartons, trays and packs are formed automatically from pre-glued cartons or a pre-glued cartons and a flat blank. The products are either fed from a fully automatic filling/labelling line or from cassettes, with automatic collation and inserting of the items in corresponding packaging, using vacuum technology for product protection.

The advantages of the packaging solution:

• Lower cost of packaging (from 10% to 35%) with respect to thermoformed tray inserted into a carton
• Possibility of standardization of the pack external dimensions, according to the different types and size of carton vial housings, therefore with quick change-over times to other format – and product sizes
• Single machine of reduced overall dimensions that require only one operator
• Total protection of the pack: vials and ampoules are held in place in the insert housings and secured at both neck and body, without any contact with the upper and lower side of the carton
• Low environmental impact
• Cardboard double layer on case sides, single opening with possibility of tamper evident closure (glue or marked label)
• Balcony construction, as per GMP rules;
• Maximum visibility for the whole process, thanks to completely transparent guards;
• The carton is picked from the horizontal magazine, rotated and inserted directly into the carton transport system, which operates in a positive way;
• No contact with metal rails due to the fact that the transport belts travel with the carton.
• Particularly low noise and Lubrication free thanks to advanced solutions adopted for product and carton conveyors
• Touch screen control panel, for operator interface and machine management;
• Self-diagnosis and help functions;
• The carton transport system consists of scratch-proof white plastic toothed belts to insure package integrity, even when processing cartons with a high gloss finish. The ASV 60 cartoner is ideal for handling fragile or delicate products including cartons with internal liners;
• Very short change-over time;
• Maintenance free
• Superior precision in picking the product
• Soft handling during the insertion operation avoiding any possible damage.
