Inkjet printing machine STE PHARMACARTON T/E COMBO

for labelsfor cardboardfor packaging

The Pharmacarton Combo is designed for in-line, high resolution digital printing of lot, expiry and 2D Data-matrix codes for pharmaceutical and medical cartons with additional tamper-proof functionality. The new design meets the requirements of the EC Falsified Medicines Directive and prints high density 2D codes to ECC200/GS1 standards on line, by totally controlling the carton during the print, vision & labelling process. The turnkey system combines a precision multi-belt conveyor with a synchronised top hold down belt and is integrated with a high-resolution inkjet printer, and an OCR/OCV optical character verification system. A fail-to-safety reject unit with pack reject confirmation compliments the overall design. A 3– Head label applicator attaches clear tamper evident labels to both flaps, and an optional overhead applicator, applies Vignette or Bollini labels to the carton upper surface. A separate reject device removes car-tons without labels, or incorrect barcodes.
