Romaco North America, a subsidiary of Romaco Group, offers the Noack 900 Series of blister machines. Offering high levels of automation with servo and automated controls to ensure operator-independent precision, the Noack 900 Series blister machines comprise two models: The 930, which can produce up to 480 blisters/min in a maximum of four rows within a forming area of 155x180mm; and the Noack 960, which can produce up to 700 blisters/min with up to six rows and has a maximum forming area of 225x180mm. Both are capable of a forming depth of up to 12mm.
Both blister machines in the 900 Series can be supplied with either platen or rotary sealing. Other highlights include a balcony structure that ensures cGMP compliance, as well as integrated track-and-trace and containment solutions.
Additional features incorporated into the Romaco Noack 900 Series of blister machines include the following:
• The machines’ ergonomic design incorporates plug-and-play devices for convenient handling and easy assembly as well as reduced format sets resulting in quick product changes. The tooling’s lightweight construction affords quicker release of format parts, and a fail-safe control system avoids complications and results in faster, more reliable return to production.
• QuickFeed is an interchangeable feeding system allowing product changeovers to be completed in a matter of seconds. With a second feeding unit installed, the ensuing batch can be produced seamlessly while the first unit can be cleaned and retooled simultaneously.
• Complete changeovers can be carried out in less than 30 minutes. The automatic station control system QuickAdjust provides continuous adjustment of sealing, coding, perforation, and cutting for extremely short run-in times and reliable, consistent processes.
• QuickTransfer uses a servo-driven blister transfer whereby blisters are fed directly to the cartoner’s bucket chain. This feature also incorporates a servo-controlled de-stacking independent of specific blister formats, as well as in-process control without interrupting production.
• QuickClean significantly reduces cleaning times due to easy access as well as surfaces without edges and corners designed to eliminate entrapment of product.
• QuickAdmin ensures reproducible processes from the ergonomic HMI panel with intuitive visualization and navigation, while QuickControl ensures maximum production safety along with track and trace, audit trail, and batch records.
