Serialisation machines

Technico Pharmaceutical Engineering develops and manufactures serialisation machines for the pharmaceutical and medical industries. Our solutions enable individual packages to be reliably marked with unique codes, in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations such as the EU FMD and other track-and-trace requirements. Labelling, as well as inkjet and laser technology, are among the options available. TechnicoPharma’s serialisation machines are designed for integration into existing or new packaging lines and can be tailored to specific product formats, speeds and line configurations. The systems support a stable and controlled serialisation process and are suitable for use in GMP environments. From engineering and construction to testing and commissioning: TechnicoPharma delivers bespoke serialisation solutions that contribute to compliance, process reliability and efficient packaging processes.

Aggregation machines

Technico Pharmaceutical Engineering develops and manufactures aggregation machines that play a key role in track-and-trace processes for the pharmaceutical and medical industries. Aggregation is the process by which unique serial numbers from individual packages are linked to higher-level packaging – such as bundle packs, outer cartons or pallets – thereby creating the hierarchical traceability structure required for compliance and secure supply chains. Our aggregation machines are designed to automatically fold, label and seal boxes – with high precision and ease of use. The machines can be integrated into existing packaging lines or used as stand-alone units. Furthermore, they can be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of box sizes and product types. The systems are ergonomically designed, easy for a single operator to use, and comply with GMP requirements for pharmaceutical environments. From engineering and construction to testing and commissioning: TechnicoPharma delivers bespoke packaging solutions that contribute to traceability, efficient logistics management and compliance with laws and regulations.

On-the-fly printing

Technico Pharmaceutical Engineering develops and manufactures the Printer on the Fly, a patented serialisation solution for applying codes directly to cardboard packaging without the use of labels. This solution has been developed for high-speed packaging lines within the pharmaceutical and medical industries and eliminates the need for unnecessary handling. The Printer on the Fly stands out because packaging can be printed whilst it moves continuously through the packaging line. Thanks to the patented design, printing is applied not only in the direction of travel but also at right angles to the product’s direction of movement. This is achieved without the product having to stop or be repositioned! The solution utilises inkjet technology and is designed for high print speeds. The patented principle, featuring a linear servo drive, ensures a stable and reliable printing process, even at high line speeds. The Printer on the Fly is ergonomically designed, easy to operate and suitable for integration with camera systems and reject solutions.

Laser printer unit

The laser printer units are suitable for applying permanent codes to packaging within sectors such as the pharmaceutical and medical industries. This solution is suitable for serialisation applications where permanent laser coding is required. The system applies codes directly to the packaging using laser technology, without the use of ink or labels. This produces a wear-resistant and permanent result that is suitable for further verification and inspection within track-and-trace processes. The unit can be used on a variety of packaging materials and is adjustable to different product formats and line speeds. The laser printer unit is designed for integration into existing or new packaging lines and can be used as a stand-alone unit or as part of a complete serialisation solution. Thanks to its compact design and robust construction, the unit is suitable for use in GMP environments.

Tray Unloader

Technico Pharmaceutical Engineering develops and manufactures bespoke tray unloaders for the automated feeding, removal and discharge of trays within pharmaceutical and medical production and packaging lines. This solution helps to ensure a controlled product flow and reduces the need for manual handling in the process. The tray unloader, also known as the component dispenser, is designed to unload trays containing, amongst other things, tagserts, package leaflets, booklets and blister packs. The (pharma) code on both sides of the product is checked. An operator manually places full trays onto the feed conveyor. The machine processes the trays and presents the products, whilst the code is verified on both the top and bottom. Products without a code or with an incorrect code are rejected. The machine then places the products onto a conveyor belt or directly into a carton, linked to the stacker for perfect synchronisation. Empty trays are automatically deposited into a reject bin. This GMP-compliant machine features an ergonomic design, is easy to clean and can be operated by a single operator.

Syringe assembly line

Technico Pharmaceutical Engineering develops and builds bespoke assembly lines for, amongst other things, syringes for the pharmaceutical and medical industries. Automated solutions designed for the precise and reproducible assembly of syringes, with a focus on product quality, process reliability and hygiene. The assembly line can be tailored to different syringe types and production requirements and supports a controlled assembly process. Depending on the application, multiple process steps can be integrated, such as component feeding positioning assembly inspection other requirements The line is suitable for integration into existing production environments or as a stand-alone solution. The assembly line is designed for use in regulated environments and complies with GMP requirements. Thanks to its ergonomic design and automated operation, operator workload is minimised and consistent product quality is ensured.

Pick-and-place systems

Technico Pharmaceutical Engineering develops and integrates bespoke flexpickers and pick-and-place systems for the automated handling, positioning and transfer of products within pharmaceutical and medical production and packaging lines. These solutions are designed for applications where flexibility, accuracy and speed are essential. Suitable for all kinds of small products, such as syringes, needles, vials, devices, tubes, injectors, blister packs and medicine dispensers. The FlexPicker solutions are used for tasks such as product feeding, pick-and-place, buffering and transfer between process steps. Thanks to precise servo control, products can be handled reliably and reproducibly, even at high line speeds. The solutions are suitable for various product shapes and sizes and can be tailored to specific line configurations. The systems are compact in design and engineered for integration into existing or new production lines.

Needle feeder

Technico Pharmaceutical Engineering develops and manufactures bespoke needle-feeding systems for the precise and reliable feeding and placement of needles within pharmaceutical and medical production and assembly lines. This solution is designed for applications where precision, continuity and process reliability are essential. The needle feeding system accurately places needles into a holder, pocket or blister pack and can be operated both continuously and intermittently. Depending on the application, up to 200 needles per minute can be processed. Placement is servo-controlled, ensuring high accuracy and reproducibility. The position of the needle within the pocket is adjustable laterally, and all adjustments are equipped with digital counters. Needles are emptied from a shipping container into a needle hopper, which can easily hold an entire shipper’s load. A Jacobs ladder transports the needles to rotating shafts, where they are aligned and fed to the needle wheels. These needle wheels are fitted with servo motors that position the needles at the correct moment, synchronised via an encoder coupling with the conveyor belt, blister machine or other equipment. The needle feeding system can be integrated into production lines with both left- and right-hand product flow and is suitable for various types and brands of needles. The complete unit can be mounted on a precision slide for exact lateral positioning. The system is GMP-compliant, ergonomically designed and easy to clean.
