Requirement

Erecting and Cartoning in a Single System:

Schubert-Pharma supplied the customer with a top-load cartoning machine featuring integrated functions for erecting, loading, and closing shipping cartons. The packaging specialist stood out by designing both the product tracking system and the carton layout.

Solution

For the pharmaceutical company Abbott (formerly Solvay), Schubert-Pharma designed this top-load cartoner with an integrated case packing function. A key feature of the machine is the implemented product tracking, which manages the data for the donated Italian labels.

Together with the customer, Schubert-Pharma also handled all packaging materials, including carton design, as an additional service alongside the machine delivery. Special emphasis was placed on product safety in the development of the cartons and boxes: tamper-evident features were integrated as a design element of the packaging.

 

From the carton design to efficient product tracking, we were able to implement all of the customer's requirements. The client now operates a perfectly tailored system.
 

 

Feeding syringes and erecting cartons

The syringes are buffered or pre-grouped for the cartoning process and continuously fed to the machine. Three F2 robots, equipped with erecting tools, guide the flat carton blanks past the glue nozzles, shape them using the erecting tools, and place them onto the vacuum transport sliders.

 

Filling cartons and packaging ready for shipment

In the filling section of the compact system, leaflets and syringes are inserted into the packaging cartons. Two F2 robots, equipped with closing tools, seal the attached carton lids along the longitudinal side of the packaging cartons.

After labeling and printing the cartons, they are packed into shipping cartons.
