Is the cartoner compatible with tamper-evident labeling?

Yes, an optional dual-sided tamper-evident labeler can be integrated.

Which forming films does the machine run?

The machine runs PVC, PVDC-coated PVC, Aclar and cold-form aluminium laminate. Forming temperature, dwell and cooling are stored per recipe, so a film change is a recipe selection rather than a manual re-setup.

How is seal integrity confirmed?

Seal parameters are monitored continuously and logged per batch. Destructive testing by methylene blue dye penetration is performed at a defined frequency, and machines can be specified with inline vision inspection of the seal area.

Does the line support serialisation and aggregation?

Yes. Cartoner-level serialisation with print-and-verify and case aggregation is available, and the data can be handed to your site or corporate serialisation system over a standard interface.

What warranty applies to this machine?

Machines are supplied with a 12-month warranty from commissioning covering manufacturing defects, with wear parts and tooling excluded. Extended cover is available under an annual maintenance contract, which also fixes response times for breakdown attendance.

What documentation is supplied at handover?

Handover includes the operation and maintenance manual, electrical and pneumatic schematics, the spare parts list with part numbers, material test certificates for contact parts, sensor calibration certificates and the completed qualification dossier.

Overview

About the AP-400 Automatic Horizontal Cartoning System

The **AP-400 Continuous Motion Horizontal Cartoner** is designed for high-speed secondary packaging, directly synchronized with upstream blister lines. The machine picks cartons from a rotary magazine, pre-breaks creases, inserts folded patient information leaflets (PIL), inserts product blisters, and seals carton flaps.

Rotary Multi-Head Carton Pick & Place: Vacuum suction arms pre-break carton edges at 180° prior to erecting.

GUK High-Speed Leaflet Folder: Four-fold pharmaceutical leaflet folder feeds pre-folded PIL inserts directly alongside product buckets.

Recipe-Stored Forming Parameters: Forming temperature, dwell and cooling are held per film type, so switching material is a recipe change rather than a re-setup.

Inline Cavity Inspection: Empty or partially filled cavities are detected before sealing, and affected blisters are rejected downstream with a batch record entry.
