AND CAPPING MONOBLOC

M.A.R. double pitch intermittent motion machine model M53 represents great innovation in pharmaceutical packaging machine design.

This latest machine model offers the capability to handle glass and plastic bottles and vials, droppers of different styles, rubber stoppers, etc.; as well as closures, which include different types of screw-cap and aluminum cap applications.



LIQUID FILLERS

Bottle (or vial) transport is carried out by mean of a walking beam “comb” system that moves the bottles through the machine without the use of a belt or star-wheels to eliminate particles generation. All operations are performed in-line.

The M53 machine dimensions have been reduced to an absolute minimum for installation under isolator technology, and is specifically designed to allow maximum laminar flow if placed under a HEPA filter system.

The base machine can be completed with:• Automatic plastic bottle feeding

and unscrambling systems and/or infeed tables for glass containers;

• Loading hoppers for the continuous supply of caps, stoppers, etc.;

• 100% IPC check-weighing system.

M53 operating speeds range from 60 up to 120 pieces/minute.
