Bosch at Fachpack 2010: High-Speed Packaging Integrated Sachet System
Tuesday 05. October 2010 - The new vertical flat pouch system RNx from Sigpack Systems, a Bosch Packaging Technology company, offers an integrated solution for the primary and secondary packaging of powders granulates and pellets as well as piece goods.
The compact layout requires minimal space, leading to a smaller footprint for reduced operating costs. With an output of up to 1 000 sachets per minute, the system efficiently and reliably delivers high-quality pouches. The system is customized to individual requirements and offers flexibility for a wide range of free-flowing substances, pouch sizes and carton formats through its modular design.
Capable of handling the entire dosing and packaging process while meeting pharmaceutical industry standards, the RNx ensures product quality through gentle handling. With its dosing module, the RNx offers the options of auger fillers for difficult flowing powders and granulates, or a tipping filler for free-flowing goods. An integrated weight control system (WCS) ensures 100 % inline weight control, and faulty products are automatically ejected via a dump gate to ensure high product quality. In the sealing module, extended sealing times create tight and reliable pouch seals.
The sealed pouches are accurately positioned by grippers in the stacking unit, ready for secondary packaging. With the options of side loading, toploading or flow wrapping, the cartoning section packs single or double stacks of sachets intermittently at an output of up to 100 cartons per minute.
The RNx system can be customized to include further optional modules including leaflet insertion, carton coding, carton rejection and an after-cartoning checkweigher. In addition, the system is easy to operate via touch screen, and provides clear and visible depiction of product flow and processes.
“With flexibility and a modular design, the RNx is a highly efficient system for products as varied as pain relievers, blood thinners, coffee or baking ingredients. With its combination of reliability, quality and speed, it is the next generation of vertical flat pouch machines”, says Holger Botsch, Product Manager at Sigpack Systems.
