pianoro, italy &ndash at achema 2015, marchesini group will illustrate to customers the new levels of excellence achieved with its pharmaceutical packaging solutions. the machines showcased at the stand measuring 660 square meters hall 3.1 booth g3 will comprise a congenial mix backed by the typical units of the group. there will be the monobloc synchro 24 for filling and counting solids and a preview of brand new units such as the robotized blister line integra 520v and the vial filler ml 643. altogether, there will be three complete lines and five standalone machines representing the state of the art in each specific sector of the pharmaceutical packaging industry, from serialization to aseptic packaging they prove the group&rsquos ability in acclaiming its leading position thanks to the high level of customisation of its products, all &ldquomade in italy&rdquo.liquid and aseptic processingthe representative sterile production line of marchesini will consist of the stery capsy aseptic filler and stoppering machine for injectable pharmaceuticals. the key assets of this solution are perfect accessibility to all critical zones, prearrangement to fit crabs or isolator containment systems, plus simplified management of spare parts and maintenance. its balcony design means the area in which the product is exposed can be kept separate from that where the mechanical components are installed. this guarantees a perfectly sterile process, in addition to cutting washing, drying and decontamination times by 50 compared with conventional machines.another solution to be previewed at achema is the new ml 643 linear vial fillercapperplugger with intermittent motion. its top mechanical production rate is 100 pieces per minute and it can batch from 100 to 200 ml. it can seal the containers with screwon caps or plugs and even with crimped caps. the linear structure makes the ml 643 ergonomic, also meaning it is much easier to work on the machine with a clear view of each phase of the packaging cycle, from filling through to the cappingcrimping of the container. thanks to the versatility of ml 643, which can be setup under a laminar flow in its pharmaceutical applications, this machine is also perfect for the cosmetic and nutritional industries.the re 302 labeller will also be on show at the trade fair, set up for small eye drop containers. the top feature of this machine is the possibility to check the code 100 because the containers are transported along motorised rotary plates. a photocell detects the position of the code around the container and can send an input to the machine to turn the plate so that it is positioned exactly in front of the camera. if the code is correct, the input is sent to apply the label with the code positioned as required, whereas if the code is wrong, the label is not applied and the container is rejected.the sterile sector is completed by a new variant of the syringe filler fsp 05. this machine exploits tub opening and syringe fillingstoppering processes integrated in just one monobloc unit. thanks to its compact footprint and to the individual management systems, it offers economic and technical advantages compared with conventional solutions. the monobloc can produce 12.000 pcsh and consists of a robotized area where the tubs are opened and an area where the syringes are filled and stoppered both areas are protected by an isolator that works with laminar flows and guarantees a totally sterile process.solids in blistersamong the novelties previewed at achema, one very eyecatching unit is integra 520v, the big sister of the integrated robotized blister line integra 320, which was exhibited at the last edition of interpack. in addition to the innovative items already presented in the previous version &ndash including the new machine pitch control system with cameras, an innovative carton opening and blister insertion system &ndash there is an ingenious pusher unit, a drumtype carton opener to manage very high speeds and a new system for picking up and inserting the instruction leaflet. the result is a line that can package an amazing 500 blisters per minute.solids countingsynchro 24 is one of the latest creations of marchesini in the counting sector. this monobloc works at very high production rates, exploiting a system called "twin flap", which doubles the 12 channels of each counting unit without increasing the number of parts in contact. mr. ugo tanfani, product manager of the group, pointed out that «this system guarantees the high quality of the counting process itself thanks to an advanced synchrodynamic conveyance system that transfers the counted product into the vial as the vial is infed». at the beginning of the machine there is a sirio 3 &ldquocode&rdquo feeder, capable of positioning round, square, oval or rectangular vials up to 180 per minute. as it is fed to the next station, the vial can be coded with a barcode or datamatrix code, after which it is cleaned internally and the code is checked by a camera.tubes the mill1202 machine has been created starting from the welltested linear and standard version with single channel, to which innovative solutions have been added to close tubes containing atex products. the machine is loaded with plastic tubes with coneshaped top to be filled with a very small amount of liquid between 0,6 and 7 ml, at a speed of 100 ppm. the efficiency of the mill1202 is also guaranteed by a robovision robot patented by marchesini group the robot is equipped with four movement axes and a vision system that guides the gripper head to pickup and position each single tube correctly.serialization the bla421 is a carton labelling and tracking machine. the ergonomic structure, accurate and quick size changeover and capacity to install all the main types of printing and vision systems with camera of the serialization codes make it an amazingly technological yet incredibly straightforward solution. the &ldquokey word&rdquo is yet again &ldquoversatility&rdquo, which for this range of labelling machines is a &ldquomust&rdquo for customers who can thus request a &ldquotailored&rdquo machine according to the various national standards in terms of traceability. the bla421 presented at achema is a novelty with added variables to extend the range of sizes processed and will be showcased in line with the horizontal casepacker and palletizer mc820. together, these two machines are able to label, trace and package 400 cartons a minute.marchesini groupborn from an idea of massimo marchesini in 1974 in pianoro bo, where the headquarters are still based, marchesini group is a leader in the supply of complete lines and machines for pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging. the numbers prove its success a consolidated turnover of the entire group amounted to 247 million euro in 2014, with 1200 employees 500 direct and 700 between group companies and foreign branches, 14 manufacturing divisions, 7 acquired companies, one company partner, a network of 30 agencies and 15 branch offices. thanks to the constant commitment for innovation, marchesini is nowadays protagonist in the italian and international markets 87 of its turnover is generated by exports. despite the strong international vocation, strong point and distinctive feature of the marchesini group is that it bases the production entirely in italy, to guarantee the high quality of the product and to enhance its relationship with the localised economy. for info www.marchesini.com
