The BFS products are fed individually into 4-position pucks on an infeed conveyor of the machine.

Flat cartons are stored in a magazine. A TLM-F3 robot picks up the flat blank from the magazine and presents it to the TLM-F2 robot. In the meantime, the code on the blank is read and, if necessary, rejected. The TLM-F2 robot then passes the blank over the glue nozzles and presses it through a forming die, thereby erecting the carton. The erected carton is placed on a Transmodul at a defined angle, simplifying the loading process.

A TLM-F2 robot picks up the products from the product carrier and transfers them to a second TLM-F2 robot. During this handover step, the Blow-Fill-Seal products are rotated 180° and passed to the loading robot in the desired orientation. The loading robot then spreads the product row to the required number of ampoules per row in the carton.

An inkjet printer applies a Data-Matrix-Code (DMC), lot number, and expiry date onto the erected cartons.

The package inserts are stored in a magazine. A TLM-F2 robot picks up the folded package inserts from the magazine and places them onto the products in the erected carton, provided the code verification was successful.

Another TLM-F2 robot folds the carton’s side flaps and seals it directly on the Transmodul. The sealed carton is then transferred to the discharge conveyor.
