Oystar A+F has been commissioned by the largest pharmaceuticals manufacturer in Hong Kong to install three new carton packing lines.
Already using a number of tube filling machines and carton packing machines from Oystar IWK, Bright Future Pharmaceutical Laboratory will install the new A+F ModuLine carton packing lines to package cough syrup sachets.
The lines will be connected to four sachet filling systems with an output of 180 packet strips per minute each.
The sachet strips are tested for leakage and weight within the clean room. For this purpose, a three-lane weighing system with reject gate has been incorporated into each of the lines.
Upon successful testing, the sachet strips leave the clean room on a slide, are stacked into product carriers and then transported to the A+F ModuLine carton packing machine in a fully automated process.
Within the carton packing system, the sachets are removed from the product carriers and packed into cartons in sets of five, ten or fifty strips.
The cartons themselves are erected from flat blanks, packed, glued and sealed.
“Every A+F ModuLine is also equipped with a laser printer for coding of the completed cartons before these are transferred to other machines for final packaging,” Oystar says.
“The entire system is subject to IQ/OQ documentation and validation.”
The Oystar Packaging Group is one of the world’s leading suppliers of packaging machinery, technology and services, employing a workforce of approximately 1,400 worldwide and generating a total of approximately €250 million in sales in 2012.
