How does a cartoning machine ensure that products are packaged without damage?

Uhlmann cartoners guarantee a product-friendly packaging process thanks to several innovative technologies: Rotary carton acceptance with mechanical breaking or pre-breaking: This system enables the processing of cartons of varying levels of quality and ensures consistently high packaging quality. Servo-controlled intermittent or continuous product chain: It ensures smooth running and precise positioning of the products during the packaging process. Servo-driven product insertion: It ensures high-precision and controlled insertion of the products into the cartons, minimizes mechanical stress and therefore protects against damage. GMP-compliant mechanical design: The machines are designed to enable easy cleaning and maintenance.

How flexible are the Uhlmann cartoners with regard to different packaging sizes and types?

Uhlmann cartoners offer a high degree of flexibility for packaging a wide range of pharmaceutical products – including pens, autoinjectors, vials, blister packs and other forms of dosage. The right machine is selected and individually configured depending on the product type and packaging requirements. Different carton formats and package sizes can be processed.
