Multivac’s new RX 4.0 and C-300 machines ideal for medical combi packs and sterile pouches, respectively

Two new thermoforming packaging machines from Multivac are geared to packaging of medical and other sensitive products.

 ▪  The RX 4.0 in GMP design is designed for producing combi packs. The line is completely enclosed in a housing. In addition to the machine's comprehensive sensor system, a new generation of intelligent dies is also said to contribute to the high level of efficiency, process reliability, and operating security. Thanks to their highly developed actuating system, the RFID-coded X-tools enable the die to be changed quickly and reliably during product changes. The packaging solution in The RX 4.0 is equipped with an InteliJet HD digital printer from Bell-Mark for coding the packs. An integrated H 242 handling module in the outfeed area removes the packs from the machine.

 ▪  The C 300 TC chamber machine, the most compact unit of the company’s free-standing vacuum chamber machines of the C series, is designed for packing sterile medical products in pre-made pouches. It enables packs to be produced either as vacuum packs or with modified atmosphere and reduced residual oxygen content. A temperature-controlled and permanently heated sealing bar ensures that this cleanroom-compatible machine achieves reproducible sealing quality, and the whole process can be calibrated and validated.

Thermoformers are gaining a foothold in large exterior panels of specialized automobiles and utility vehicles.

Newly available cast sheet and thermoforming grades of Mirel biobased polymers open up a new range of applications in containers and other formed parts where renewable content and biodegradability are desired.

That is the size-reduction question confronting many processors today. Look here for some guidance.
