The intermittent P 91 cartoner from Romaco Promatic is used for secondary packaging processes by the pharmaceutical company Galderma. Benefits are the ability to change formats rapidly and a reduction in noise through the use of actuators and toothed pulleys.
The P 91 cartoner is used for secondary packaging processes on Galderma's vial line. In addition to the main product in the Cetaphil care range, twelve other products are packed into folding cartons on the same line, which is why smooth handling of format changes takes top priority. The P 91 cartoner is designed so that format changes can be carried out directly by the shift personnel. This speeds up the order of events and allows a constant production flow, which crucially increases the effectiveness of the plant. Effective secondary packaging using the P 91 cartoner
For Galderma, the P 91 intermittent cartoner was specially oriented towards the secondary packaging requirements of the vial range and integrated into the existing line. The plant runs at medium speed here, with an output of 60 folded cartons per minute (the maximum packaging speed of the P 91 series is 140 cartons per minute). The plant operation is controlled centrally. A touch-screen provides fast access even to current production and allows individual operations to be tailored flexibly.
The P 91 cartoner impresses with its ergonomic design Ergonomic aspects also played a large part in deciding on Romaco technology. The balcony design of the machine allows good access to all machine components and makes it easier to load the folding cartons. The servo drives and the use of a Venturi vacuum unit for picking up and opening the folding cartons and adding the package insert have led to a significant reduction in noise exposure for employees. The whole product transfer runs over toothed pulleys, which is why there is absolutely no need to use chains or mechanical gearwheels. This significantly reduces noise emissions.
"Collaboration with Romaco was extremely professional," said Olivier Lidurain, Responsible for Production Optimization of Galderma, in praise of the service provided by the packaging specialists. "Individual support by the Romaco technicians responsible was viewed very positively by our employees, primarily because any questions that came up could be clarified in French." Targeted training on the machine for employees provided smooth workflows during production and increased the productivity of the whole plant.
