Tray Loader & Secondary Packaging
Tray Loader & Secondary Packaging for Pharma & Biotech
Robot-assisted tray loading and packaging solutions for pharmaceutical production – from primary packaging to palletizing with GMP compliance.
Tray Loader & Packaging Applications
Fully automated solutions for pharmaceutical production
Safe and Efficient Storage of Primary Packaging
Our robot-assisted tray loading solutions guarantee safe and efficient storage of vials, bottles, or other primary packaging in corresponding trays (e.g., Akylux trays) – with or without compartments. We deliver the complete periphery: From the conveyor line including high-precision singulation systems (star wheels, screw conveyors) to clean positioning for the handling robot. The system operates with high flexibility and as needed – trays can be fed directly from a magazine or process-optimized removal from the pallet.
- Intelligent Storage: Robot-assisted insertion of vials, bottles, and containers including integrated inline quality control
- High-Speed Performance: Output rates of up to 300 pieces per minute for maximum productivity
- Flexible Tray Management: Automatic handling of trays and Akylux boxes from magazine or directly from pallet
- Holistic System Integration: Including complete feeding technology and vial singulation into the system via state-of-the-art conveyor technology
- Central Recipe Handling: Intuitive control and format management via central Siemens Unified HMI
- Minimal Downtime: Quick changeover concept for format changes in under 5 minutes without special tools
Fully Automated Complete Solutions for Secondary Packaging
Beyond pure filling, we offer fully automated complete solutions for your secondary packaging process. Our portfolio encompasses the entire workflow: from precise case packing and cartoning through labeling and secure closing to final palletizing. Through smart engineering and the use of optional automatic gripper change systems, we guarantee exceptional flexibility and shortest changeover times during format changes.
- Complete Packaging Solution: Seamless integration of carton erectors, labeling stations, and closing systems into a compact line
- Intelligent Format Changeover: Automatic gripper change at the push of a button for fastest format changes without manual intervention
- End-of-Line Palletizing: Integrated robotic solutions for precise stacking of shipping cartons on pallets, optimized for your logistics workflow
- Modular Architecture: Flexible expandability of the system with additional functions such as scales or camera systems for serialization
- Maximum OEE: High system availability through standardized components and intuitive operation via Siemens Unified HMI
- Future-Proof Investment: Easy adaptation to new packaging sizes or product types through software-based recipe management
Palletizing Solutions Precisely Tailored to Your Requirements
We realize palletizing solutions precisely tailored to your spatial conditions and performance requirements. Whether space-saving gantry systems for linear processes or highly flexible 6-axis robots for complex packing patterns – we offer the appropriate kinematics for your product. You have the choice: from cost-effective solutions with static pallet positions to fully automated systems including pallet dispensers, automatic conveyor technology, and final wrapping station for stretch-wrapped shipping pallets.
- Flexible Kinematics: Use of high-speed gantries or versatile 6-axis robots depending on required reach and complexity
- Integrated Layer Management: Automatic handling and precise placement of interlayers or anti-slip mats by the robot for load securing
- Scalable Automation Level: Freely configurable between manual pallet provision and fully automatic pallet handling from dispenser to removal
- Intelligent Gripper Technology: Use of vacuum or mechanical grippers that can also handle multiple cartons simultaneously (multiple pickup)
- Central Recipe Management: Easy creation and adjustment of packing patterns via intuitive Siemens Unified HMI
- Seamless Line Integration: Complete integration into your existing conveyor technology and data exchange with your warehouse management system (WMS)
Specialized Solutions for Transfer of Primary Packaging
Requirements for flexibility in pharma production are increasing – especially for transfer of primary packaging from standard logistics units into customer-specific formats. We offer specialized solutions for repackaging vials, syringes, or cartridges from RTU Tub & Nest configurations into individual blisters or other secondary packaging. From intelligent container feeding to precise pick-and-place processes, we realize highly efficient workflows that significantly reduce your time-to-market.
- Smart Feeding Solutions: Automated removal and singulation of primary packaging from Tub & Nest systems
- Precise Repackaging: Gentle, robot-assisted handling to avoid glass-to-glass contact and protect sensitive surfaces
- Integrated Quality Control: Inline inspection for presence, correct orientation, or damage directly in the process
- Intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI): A central Siemens Unified HMI enables graphical control of complex processes and reduces changeover times to a minimum
- GMP-Compliant Design: Complete compliance with regulatory requirements including comprehensive documentation package (DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ)
- Maximum Availability: Fast format changes and easy cleaning through hygienic design and software-based recipe management
