Schubert Packaging Line Multivials

This line separates the thermoforming machine from the filling and cartoning process.
The machine thermoforms plastic trays straight from the roll,
saving money in material costs and logistics,
and achieving greater efficiency in the packaging process.

the packaging line can pack vials (standing in trays)
the line packs small packs, e.g. five vials, into a blister/carton,
and processes ten blisters with five products each per carton

The line is composed by
tray thermoforming
cartoner
case packer

Overall Performance
thermoforming machine decoupled from the filling and cartoning process
online thermoforming significantly lowers material consumption
range of formats for small packs: e.g. five vials or ampoules packed into a blister/carton, up to ten blisters with five products each processed per carton

PRODUCTION
the blisters are shaped and punched out as part of the thermoforming process
the 400 mm wide film sheet runs continuously at a speed of up to 9 metres per minute
the thermoforming and punching units automatically adapt to the speed of the film
punching out is done by ultrasound, a process that allows any desired punching contours and guarantees low-cost tools with quick format changeover
the entire machine is programmed by entering parameters on the operator interface panel

FILLING AND CARTONING PROCESS
the blisters are then prepared for loading. At the same time, the vials/ampoules are fed into the machine and pre-grouped
the loaded blisters are placed in a pre-erected top-load box and closed once the package information leaflet has been added
after the individual boxes have been marked with inkjet printers, they are passed downstream to transport logistics
