Preview of a new line for injectable sterile medicines
There are numerous solutions at the Marchesini Group stand, developed by the various divisions of the Group, also including a brand-new idea developed by the Aseptic, division, conceived to improve the performance of companies specialized in the production of injectable sterile medicines. It’s a line under isolator for sterile filling and the capping and coding of bottles of various sizes, designed to be extremely rapid with the production of up to 500 pieces a minute with 100% weight control. The launch of the new solution is planned for the first day of the event (10th June), with the official presentation to the press and sector experts scheduled for midday.
Technology and innovation on show
There are also solutions developed by the Pharma Process and Pharma Laboratory divisions, fully complying with rigorous GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices). Two monoblocs are on display at the stand, one for packaging solid products and one for powdered products: the first is composed of a blister packing machine, with a SEA Vision Line Clearance system, and a cartoning machine with an integrate Track & Trace module; the second is a compact solution for filling with powders with 100% weight control made by M.A.R, the latest brand to form part of the Group.
Pharma Packaging division new developments present at the stand include a line for the packaging and labelling of injection pens, with a robotic island that positions the pens inside a paper tray with precision and flexibility. The latter, developed inside the R&D department, is characterised by a functional design that allows for a significant saving of paper and glue (-50% compared to traditional models present on the market).
Finally, there is also a corner dedicated to the Digital area with the latest innovations in the digital transformation field and artificial intelligence, including the “Morpheus” predictive maintenance solution, format change in augmented reality and the latest technologies linked to robotic applications.
50 years of history, with an eye always on the future
Marchesini Group closed 2023 with revenues of 591 million, achieving + 15% compared to 2022. In 2024, the Group expects to consolidate its strategic assets, confirming the same trend as the previous year just ended, and hoping for further growth. «To achieve these objectives and to best prepare for the next challenges, we will continue to invest in the field of robotics, vision systems and artificial intelligence, comments Pietro Cassani, CEO of Marchesini Group. Building the future together, however, means focusing also on young people and on training, continuing to travel and explore ideas and innovations throughout the world. In the last few months, we have opened, in fact, new subsidiaries in South America, Asia and North Africa, guaranteeing an even more effective presence in over 166 countries in the world. Production, 100% made in Italy, remains, however, entirely in Italy where we are strengthening production, embarking on expansion works in a number of our sites in Tuscany, Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna».
