PACKAGING
The UNISTA range of CARTONER cartoning machines is designed to meet the precision, flexibility, and traceability requirements of modern packaging lines, particularly in the pharmaceutical and diagnostics sectors. Our automated solutions ensure continuous filling, complex insertion, and closing of automatic-bottom cartons. Specifically developed for packaging products that require high reliability, such as syringe kits or diagnostic kits, the CARTONER guarantees gentle and secure handling of sensitive components.
Thanks to its intelligent design and digital controls, this machine enables quick, simple, and ergonomic changeovers. Adapting to new kit formats requires minimal tooling, ensuring high levels of productivity and flexibility. This design reduces downtime and ensures the smooth daily operation of your production lines.
User-centered design and high industrial performance.
Ultra-fast format changeover to accommodate a wide variety of kit production runs.
Functional and compact design for easy integration into new or existing production lines.
Intelligent and robust design that complies with the strict standards of pharmaceutical environments (cleanrooms, GMP).
Automated technology that enables gentle, friction-free handling of medical components.
CARTONER is specifically designed to handle the complexity of high-value-added products in the healthcare sector:
Syringe kits: Assembly and packaging of pre-filled syringes with their accessories (safety needles, instructions, inserts).
Test and diagnostic kits: Packaging of multiple heterogeneous components (swabs, reagent tubes, test cassettes, instruction sheets) into cases.
Medical devices: Packaging of vials, ampoules, or pill bottles that requires strict traceability from the start of the production cycle.
Case Type: Specializes in handling cases with automatic bottoms (reliable high-speed unfolding and expansion).
Feeding: High-capacity, ergonomic magazine that can be continuously reloaded without interrupting production.
Insertion: Mechanical or robotic insertion of kits to ensure the absolute integrity of sensitive products.
Closure: Top flaps secured by hot-melt adhesive or snap-fit (tuck-in tab), depending on your specifications.
The speed is optimized based on the specific characteristics of your kits (the number and fragility of the components to be inserted) and the layout of your production line:
Modularity: Ability to integrate machine vision modules (component presence checks, code reading, instruction manual verification) just before the case is sealed.
Performance: Customized production rates designed to align perfectly with the output of your upstream equipment (filling machines, packaging machines).
The CARTONER streamlines and simplifies the packaging of complex medical kits. By automating the filling of self-forming cartons and the insertion of multiple components (syringes, tests, instructions), the system speeds up your end-of-line process while ensuring strict quality control (zero defects) and gentle handling that prevents product damage.
Like the entire UNISTA range, the CARTONER is designed with flexibility in mind. Switching from a test kit format to a syringe kit format is quick and easy thanks to intuitive adjustments and optimized format changes that require no complex tools. This significantly increases line availability for manufacturers handling a wide range of product variants.
