GHIVER SCREEN PRINTERS FOR AMPOULE LINES

Extensive experience acquired in the sector, combined Exit from the forming machine/cooling fan/ with export design and production skills, enables dimensional control system Ghiver to respond to a wide range of varied demands from clients who wish to improve their production lines with the latest models of new machinery. The fact that Ghiver’s products are cost-effective is just one of the many reasons why the company continues to expand. Other reasons include: % the constant search and updating to solve problems related to the glass blowing sector; % the high quality of materials used in production; % ongoing personnel training to ensure highly qualified and skilled staff; Plenum chambre/screen printing section % continuous quality control; % fast and efficient worldwide after sale service; % a well stocked spare parts warehouse for fast servicing. The GG/05 SMF vials Finishing Line, which provides all necessary checks, can be combined with any type of rotary vial manufacturing machine. Output of the machine, which is built onto an 8-mm thick corrosion-proof aluminium frame, is approximately 5,000 vials per hour. The GG/05 SMF line has four processing stages: the first consists of a vial loading conveyor and a cooling The furnace stage worked by a fan. After cooling, the size of the vials is checked electronically, and an electro-pneumatic robot transports the vials to the second workstation. In the case that the chain stops, the robot switches loading to a tray so that temporary unprocessed vials can be reused. The screen printing machine is similar to that of the ampoule line and is equipped with an electro-pneumatic system that cuts-our the spatula if a vial is missing. An electro-pneumatic robot transports the vials to the second workstation – a vertical rotary kiln. It can be gas-fuelled with a single heat chamber and 540 clamps divided into six rows, or electric-powered with two independent heat Conveyor belt at furnace exit/packaging station chambers, each with 400 clamps divided into two rows. The vials are then transported by conveyor belt to the third workstation, where a third electro-pneumatic robot transfers the vials to the fourth and final workstation, wheree they are packed into cartons. Quality checking and ad hoc applications can also be added on request.

SPAMI Engineering AUTOMATIC INSPECTION since 1984 FOR EMPTY VIALS

The pharmaceutical industry is more and more demanding in terms of cosmetic quality of glass vials and an automatic inspection system is necessary to guarantee the effectiveness and reliability of controls. To meet the needs of converting companies, Spami has created EVA, an automatic inspection machine that checks pharmaceutical containers (vials) at a speed that is higher than typical converting machines. For this reason it is desi- gned to serve out-of-line production as it is designed as a standalone machine. EVA is equipped with a high performance camera inspection system able to detect cosmetic defects on the entire surface of the vials (heel, body, shoulder, neck, collar, flange surface, bottom side), such as cracks, scratches, air lines, bubbles, Annealing dirty points, etc. Dimensional inspection is also available with EVA. Further characteristics include: high speed, up to 12,000 pieces per hour, allowing to LEHRS t
process the output of several vials forming machines; t
extremely flexible and able to cover the full range of tubular vials; t
can be fed by trays or Decorating by a conveyor. The out-feed can also be LEHRS on trays or directly on a conveyor; t

IAMA, a French company Tiama T based in the Lyon region, headquarters heads up two glass inspec- tion specialists, MSC and SGCC. Since 1963 it has specialized in the design of inspection equip- ment for glassmakers. Its busi- ness model is based on the design and construction of machines ‘Made in France’ aimed at meet- ing the needs of the global mar- ket. In 2012 TIAMA shipped more than 68 per cent of its machines outside Europe, includ- ing 209 machines installed in the Middle East and 117 facilities in Asia, among others.
