Travtec coding systems are helping AstraZeneca in the UK to comply with the latest anti-counterfeit regulations introduced into the Turkish pharmaceuticals market and French CIP13 coding requirements.
Recently, seven Pharmacarton Lite coding stations, seven Print Conveyors and a manually fed system have been installed at the Macclesfield site.
The Pharmacarton Lite is designed to be easily integrated into existing packaging lines and for ‘total control’ of the carton during the print and vision process, to achieve ‘accurate and high quality printing of high density barcodes and 2D codes to ECC200/GS1 standards’.
It features the Wolke m600 Advanced high resolution inkjet printer and an OCR/OCV optical character verification system.
A fail-to-safety reject unit is helping to maintain line speeds of up to 200 cartons/min.
