Interpack 2017, the Marchesini Group takes its key packaging products to Germany. Pianoro (Bologna)–Three years after the last edition,the Marchesini Group returns to Interpack.From May 4th to 10th at Hall 8a (booth A65/A79)of Messe Düsseldorf customers will be able to admirefour lines and 13 stand-alone machines that cover almost the entire panorama of the primary and secondary packaging process.Next to the well-known integrated lineUnicafor packaging pre-filled syringes and theSteryline for aseptic packaging will be some brand new machines. As always, guests will be able to enjoy the incomparable Italian hospitality and taste the delicious recipes of the Emilia-Romagna cuisine whilst sitting comfortably at therestaurant, which will probably be the busiest of the show this year again.The novelties on show -The linesIntegra 520 V is the fastest of the robotic blister packaging lines made bythe Marchesini Group. It will be exhibited together with the new labeller byNeri BL A525, able to fit all the printing and vision systems currently available on the market. Downstream from the line is the newFA 04fast version by Multipack - built to manage the flow of 500 cartons a minute incoming from the cartonerCinquecento - and the new MC 820 TT case-packer forTrack and Trace needs.At the tradeshow will also be exposed a pre-feeder that handles about 3 thousand tablets a minute and utilises the new Valida technology developed in-house to verify the integrity of each tablet with feasible reject before feeding it into the blister. Unlike traditional cameras that verify the product just from the top, Valida’s laser triangulation system is able to detect the thickness of the tablets; it can consequently identify those broken exactly in half and reject them, instead of having to reject the whole blister.There will be major focus on the cosmetics area, which is becoming more and more important for the Group’s strategies, as confirmed by the recent take-over (January 2017) of the company from Bologna Dumek, which will also be exhibiting the turbo-emulsifier TURBO-MEK 1000 at the trade show. The vacuum turbo emulsifiers and melters of Dumek - used to produce emulsions(creams, milks), serums, oils and balms, gels and lotions - will help to complete the machinery range ofthe Marchesini Group and will favour itsexpansion on the cosmetics marketplace.Finally, a vertical line for jars has been set-up especially for Interpack with an innovative end-of-line system consisting of the new cartoner MAV 60 - which compared with the previous version has a robotic product infeed and a system that stands the carton up, thus increasing speed - and the new automatic wrapper Farplus C.

The novelties on show - Stand-alone machinesTwo new stand-alone machines will be on show at Interpack, namely the cartonerMA400, a completely restyled project to improve ergonomics and user-friendliness and theBLA420 CWfor Track and Traceneeds developed by the Neri division, which specialises in producing carton labelling and track & trace machines.The BL A showcased at the exhibition sums up the consolidated strongholds of this machine - versatility and reliability. The completely integrated load cell on the stepper conveyance system controls the weight of each carton. This system is much more compact than the conventional solution (where the weighing unit is coupled in line) and than the main versions of competitors, who offer solutions with weighing units equipped with their own conveyance system and separate from that of the labelling machine.By integrating the load cell into the toothed belt system of the BL A420 CW, this unit is able to verify the position of the cartons at any time: if the weight is correct, the product undergoes the following operations (serialization, stamping and sealing), then it is sent to the next machine; if on the other hand it is incorrect, the following operations are not carried out and it is rejected according to the “Fail Safe” logic.28 March, 2017
