The Pharmacarton Elite features a new compact and sleek design that can fit easily into existing packing lines. The enclosed operating unit and clean, smooth appearance eliminates any nooks and crannies where waste materials could congregate, ensuring fast line clearance at the end of each production run.
In addition, a redesigned user-friendly menu-driven touchscreen interface allows simplified operation and easy changeovers.
The Pharmacarton Elite incorporates a precision multi-belt conveyor with a synchronised top hold down belt, a Wolke m600 Advanced high resolution ink jet printer and an OCR/OCV optical character verification system, creating an integrated carton handling, coding and verification system. A fail-to-safety reject unit with pack confirmation further guarantees the authenticity of each coded pack and helps to maintain line speeds.
The system provides total control of the carton during the print and vision process to ensure the accurate and quality printing of high density barcodes and 2D codes to ECC200/GS1 standards. It offers a cost-effective and reliable solution for companies needing to print serialised 2D Datamatrix codes on individual packs as part of the recent EC Falsified Medicines Directive track and trace legislation for pharmaceutical packaging.
The Wolke m600 Advanced uses HP technology and water-based inks to deliver clean and maintenance-free real time coding onto a wide range of substrates, producing characters and bar codes up to 600 dpi.
“This latest version of our Pharmacarton has added a number of practical and user-friendly features to its proven benefits of speed, flexibility and accurate coding,” comments Travtec Managing Director Harry Thomason.
“We look forward to demonstrating it to visitors at Achema.”
