Application

Pharmaceuticals

Hygienic packaging for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products. Flow wrapping, fold wrapping and cartoning specified for the cleaning access, repeatability and documentation these lines depend on.

Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical packaging is judged on consistency. Repeatable settings, clean seals and documented changeover carry as much weight as output, and LoeschPack builds wrapping and cartoning equipment to that standard.

What these lines ask of a machine

  • Cleaning access designed in, because changeover between products is a documented procedure as well as a tooling swap.
  • Repeatable settings, so the machine returns to a known state at every product change.
  • Consistent seal quality, which is what protects the product and the batch record behind it.
  • Cartoning that handles inserts and leaflets reliably at rate.

Wrapping and cartoning together

Most of these projects are a wrapper and a cartoner specified as a pair, so both stages hold the same rate and the collation between them presents product in the arrangement the carton needs.

LoeschPack builds the cartoning and erecting machines alongside the wrapping, feeding and tray loading equipment that supplies them, so the handover between stages is designed as part of the line.

Where qualification sits

Qualification belongs to your quality system, and the equipment can make that work straightforward. LoeschPack machines are specified for cleaning access, repeatable settings and clear documentation, and Piepenbrock Packaging gives your validation team a precise account of what the machine does.

Where Piepenbrock Packaging starts

With the product, the pack, the carton and the changeover procedure you have to follow. That last one shapes the specification as much as the rate does, and we work it through with LoeschPack before a line is recommended.

Common questions

Do these machines come qualified for regulated production?
They are built for it. LoeschPack specifies wrapping and cartoning equipment for the cleaning access, repeatable settings and documentation that regulated production depends on. Qualification itself is performed against your process, your site and your quality system, which is why the equipment is documented in the detail a validation team needs. Your product, your changeover procedure and your batch records set what that documentation has to cover. PPT USA and LoeschPack work through those requirements with you before the line is specified.
Should the wrapper and cartoner come from one supplier?
For these lines it usually pays. The collation between the two is where the engineering sits, and a single scope means one organization owns that interface. LoeschPack builds the wrapping, feeding, tray loading and cartoning equipment together, so the stages are designed to work as one line. Tell PPT USA the primary pack and the carton and we will confirm how tightly the two should be coupled for your application.
