Noack Blister Systems all you need to optimise - Performance - Availability - Quality
NOACK BLISTER SYSTEMS“configured to your need for maximum productivity“Noack offers a comprehensive blister packaging portfolio that is designed to optimise production performance, availability and quality.
Based on a modular system with fully integrated options which can be confi- gured according to individual blister pa- ckaging applications, the Noack Blister System provides full line capability from primary blister packing to secondary cartoning to end-of-line wrapping or case packing.
Overall Equipment Effectiveness, in terms of high performance, ready availability and top quality, has always been at the core of the Noack design philosophy.
The integration of advanced automati-on and robotic technologies, together with the latest cGMP design, provi-des for a compact and reliable blister packaging system that is fast to chan-ge over and easy to operate.
Noack Blister Systems are at the lea-ding edge of blister packaging solu-tions and offer the highest productivity at a very competitive price.
- modular - flexible - efficient -The blister machines in the Noack 900 range can be integrated with either continuous or intermittent horizon-tal cartoners from the Promatic PC 4000 series to form a highly efficient system. The two machine ranges are optimally harmonised and simple to operate thanks to their shared design architecture.
Robotic solutionsA unique line configuration lets you monitor the packaging continuously. The robotic QuickTransfer station provi-des even better protection for the pro-ducts when the blisters are transferred to the cartoner.
Compact designOwing to its modular architecture, the line can be individually adapted to the specific requirements of each manu-facturing site.
