Packaging and Processing for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets

The solutions developed by both the Packaging Division (founded 25 years ago) and the Processing Division of MG2 “speak” of the constant search for quality and innovation but also of the ability to adapt to changing times.

A line with the BliStar blister machine and KARTOS cartoner from the Packaging Division and the PLANETA Q capsule filler from the Processing Division will be the focus of MG2 participation at the Ipack-Ima/Pharmintech exhibition (Hall 2, Booth B15).

Packaging solutions

With BliStar blistering machine, MG2 aims to optimize the primary packaging of capsules and tablets in blisters. In fact, the blistering machine, that is capable to manage up to 150 blisters/minute with maximum dimensions of mm 90x140, represents an ideal solution for those big pharmaceutical companies which want to produce R&D batches, as well as for phytopharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies that need both high-production speed and flexibility. In addition, the excellent electronic control the machine is equipped with, allows to both carry out size change over by recalling a recipe and control in real time all packaging process stages.

With KARTOS intermittent motion cartoner, it is possible to pack various pre-glued carton sizes (from 20x15x50 mm to 90x70x250 mm) up to a maximum speed of 100 cartons/minute.

At Pharmintech 2022 visitors will see how the compact design and constructive simplicity represent the strengths of this machine. Indeed, KARTOS has been designed according to modern mechanical paradigms, such as the transport of cartons by belt and the balcony-style design.

Processing Solutions

The Processing Division, instead, will be represented by PLANETA Q capsule filler. This machine is characterized by an ergonomic design, a mobile control panel equipped with a 21-inch touch HMI, and it also complies to the OEB4 containment level.

Thanks to its production speed ranging from 6,000 up to 100,000 capsules/hour and the possibility to dose a complete range of products and their combinations, PLANETA Q incorporates the key features of the high-tech MG2 technology that is a recognized standard for all MG2 customers around the world.
