Romaco Noack has expanded its Unity family to include the Unity 600 blister line for higher output and process reliability. The transfer unit also makes it possible to return the blisters to the primary packaging area.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The centrepiece of the monoblock is the Transfer module, which is designed for higher cycle rates and also offers greater format flexibility, traceability and energy efficiency.<\/strong> offers. Overall, the two-lane high-speed line, consisting of a blister machine with roller sealing and a continuous motion cartoner, achieves a Maximum output of up to 600 blisters and 350 cartons per minute<\/strong>. With a maximum film width of 304 mm, blister packs up to 145 mm long and 90 mm wide can be processed reliably.<\/p>

For all applications that require even higher performance, the Romaco<\/a> the three-lane version of the Unity 600 with a maximum output of up to 750 blisters per minute.<\/p>

With the Unity 600, the Direct transfer of the blisters to the cartoner via an indexing wheel with connected stack transfer unit<\/strong>. Firstly, the die-cut blisters are removed from the die-cutter with a vacuum and transferred to the transfer belt to the cartoner by a carousel-shaped shuttle. The vacuum is generated using the Venturi process, which eliminates the need for a conventional vacuum pump. In addition to the reduction in noise pollution, this has the advantage that significantly less heat radiation is emitted in the cleanroom.<\/strong> which requires energy-intensive cooling. In addition, the vacuum cups of the cycle wheel are only activated when they are transporting a blister. In this way, no false air is drawn in and power consumption is significantly reduced.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the newly developed stack transfer unit of the Unity 600, the blisters are stacked from below and guided securely from all sides<\/strong>, This ensures stable and gentle processes. The blister stacks are then placed one after the other in the cartoner's cup chain by so-called stack carriers. Only complete stacks are transferred to the cartoner. For the first time, the compensation of empty spaces in the process is mapped via the software so that no good blisters need to be held back. As a result, the Implementation of a manual blister refill magazine is no longer mandatory<\/strong>. With this highly automated transfer solution, Romaco Noack also realises the seamless traceability of blister packs from the product infeed.<\/p>
