In this case study, we present a “Strip Line” for the production and packaging of effervescent tablets<\/strong>, in which Retinae Vision control system<\/strong> for tablet production and packaging’s control systems have been flawlessly integrated, providing 100% effective and precise control. <\/span>The line <\/span>achieves an output of over 2500 tablets per minute<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n On this occasion, we had the pleasure of collaborating with<\/span>\u00a0Universal Pack<\/strong><\/a> and Lamp San Prospero<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Universal Pack showcased its expertise in designing complete

phase<\/strong> of the effervescent tablet into the strip machine, enhancing the machine’s performance and the final product quality by avoiding packaging of non-conforming products<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n Control of variable data printing<\/strong> on the strip, executed by laser systems fully integrated into the vision system.<\/span><\/p>\n An integrated carton serialization system<\/strong> within the cartoner to minimize the line’s footprint.<\/span><\/p>\n At Retinae, our focus is on monitoring an entire production line, including both primary<\/strong> and secondary<\/strong> packaging<\/strong> . In this case, the primary packaging involves the insertion of 20 mm diameter effervescent tablets, two at a time, into sachets that form the strips. These strips are then packaged into cartons.<\/span><\/p>\n The first vision inspection system is positioned at the primary packaging level,<\/b> before loading the product into the sachets. It’s important to note that this line handles a particularly delicate product, maintaining optimal conditions to avoid issues such as moisture which could make the product sticky or trigger effervescence prematurely. The speed of the process is crucial, hence the machine compressing the product into tablets does not have intermediate storage.<\/span><\/p>\n Our position at this stage of the line serves two purposes: ensuring the product’s conformity and integrity and guaranteeing the continuity of the packaging process. Optical detection of product fractures is key to preventing loader jams, a complex issue to resolve. Our solutions can also be integrated with systems that immediately discard defective products, avoiding machine downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n In the line presented, we have also implemented a<\/strong><\/span>n advanced solution for grading,<\/b> i.e., quality control of the print. All printed information on the sachets, such as batch numbers and expiration dates, are meticulously checked. For example, some solutions on the market do not check all prints but perform sample checks, trusting that if one strip is printed, the others are too. However, this is not always a reliable occurrence. In this line, Retinae has developed an encapsulated system, well-integrated into the machine, that checks 100% of the prints.<\/span><\/p>\n As we typically do when providing a control system for printing, we have also installed a laser printing system, ensuring superior, long-lasting quality compared to ink-jet prints and avoiding typical issues like unreadable text due to nozzle clogging or ink smearing.<\/span><\/p>\n Each strip is then checked by a second vision system that grades the print quality.<\/b> Following the line, we reach the secondary packaging stage where the strips are inserted into cartons. Here, we have integrated serialization within the cartoner matrix. This is an improvement over more commonly adopted solutions that place a track and trace machine at the end of the cartoner for serial printing. The machine for serial control occupies space, and within various pharmaceutical lab boxes, space is costly as it must be a controlled environment, incurring significant costs for the drug manufacturer. Instead, we have integrated serialization into the cartoner, along with the typical anti-mix-up check.<\/span><\/p>\n At this point in the process, checks with Retinae’s solutions are complete, and the carton proceeds directly to the case packer. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning the possibility for Retinae to implement an aggregation system on the case packer, also for the manual management of small batches.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.retinae.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Retinae-Case-History.mp4″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”50%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ custom_padding=”|||10px|false|false” border_width_left=”4px” border_color_left=”#0d1f78″ global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_4,1_4″ make_equal=”on” admin_label=”Isocounter” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ header_2_font_size=”27px” header_2_line_height=”1.6em” header_4_font_size=”25px” header_4_line_height=”1.3em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ header_2_font_size=”27px” header_2_line_height=”1.6em” header_4_font_size=”25px” header_4_line_height=”1.5em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n ISOBLISTER is the colour system for inspecting blistered products<\/strong>. A self-learning procedure developed by Ratinae, facilitates the creation of new formats. The system checks the conformity of the product within the cavities, stray particles or other discrepancies.
