Farmaceutici Formenti – Gruenthal, <\/strong>a company specialized in effective pain-relieving treatments and cutting-edge pharmaceutical technologies worldwide was looking for a labeling system suitable for two types of injection pens<\/strong> containing special drugs to treat chronic inflammatory diseases.<\/p>\nThe challenge: labeling cylindrical-shaped injection pens with quadrangular section and window for drug inspection<\/h3>\n
The aim was to “improve the productivity of an existing process while increasing of the product potentials and quality”<\/em> declares Sergio Rollini – Process equipment maintenance senior manager engineering at Formenti – an orientation that expresses the company’s continuous desire to “meet the needs of customers with a spirit aimed at possible future demands, new markets, and new technologies”.<\/em><\/p>\nTo obtain the result, Etipack focused in particular on the study of the correct type of transport<\/strong> necessary for product handling, working on strong customization to facilitate labeling<\/strong>. The key elements to consider were in particular: the format variation management<\/strong> – cylindrical and quadrangular section – and the existence of a window on the side surfac<\/strong>e of the pens, which required precision in label application.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
The solution: a wrap-around labeling system with custom-tailored shaped roller conveyors<\/h3>\n
In order to obtain the correct positioning of the pens, it has been developed a Special System 3 for the labeling of horizontally handled cylindrical products<\/strong> with a specific roller conveyor structure<\/strong>. It allows perfect wrap-around label application thanks to cylinders with a specially designed shape and a support tripod.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
