BEST PRACTICE JOINT PROJECT KOCH & UHLMANN

CHILDPROOF AND SENIOR-FRIENDLY

A joint project of the two sister companies KOCH and Uhlmann Pac-Systeme. Packing tablets with different dosages in three blister sizes – and doing so in such a way that the packaging is both childproof and suitable for senior citizens.

As a leading global systems supplier for the packaging of pharmaceutical products in blisters, bottles, and cartons, Uhlmann Pac-Systeme GmbH & Co. KG provides flexible integral solutions for international pharmaceutical companies, generics manufacturers, and contract packers.

Task

  • Childproof and at the same time senior-friendly pharmaceutical packaging.
  • Packing tablets with different dosages in three blister sizes.
  • Two of the three blister sizes need to be delivered in folding boxes to hospitals, with the third size going in wallets and folding boxes to pharmacies.

Solution

  • A blister wallet line that perfectly combines the blister machine B 200 from Uhlmann, the wallet machine KS-PL from KOCH and the cartoner C 200 from Uhlmann.
  • The blisters intended for hospitals are sent via a bypass directly to the Uhlmann cartoner C 200.
  • Accurate handling of the enormous variety of blister formats through a newly developed folding system.

Results

  • Despite the enormous variety, all product variants can be packaged on one line the process can be controlled via an unified, consistent operating system.
  • Reduction of the complexity of the packaging process.
  • If required, blister packaging, wallet machine, and cartoning can be operated independently of each other.

The close collaboration between KOCH and Uhlmann under the joint umbrella of the Uhlmann Group ensures not only perfectly-matched facility components and processes, but also highly-efficient project work.
