INTEGRATING DESICCANTS/SCAVENGERS Depending on the format used, the addition of desiccants or gas scavengers will require insertion equipment or a pressure-sensitive labeling head. A number of suppliers such as ABOX Automation Corp. of Wharton, N.J., offer standard equipment... for use on bottling lines, continuous motion flow wrappers, vertical F/F/S machinery, horizontal F/F/S machinery, pouch thermoformers and other types of packaging equipment. Machines typically mount over the conveyor or may be portable like the new PD-2 Pouch Dispenser from ABOX Automation. Designed for inserting pouches of desiccant, silica gel and oxygen absorbers into any size pharmaceutical bottles or various food products, the unit can be coupled with a mobile stand so it can be moved from line to line, maximizing integration ease. The dual-servo motor-equipped dispenser simplifies operation with a handheld touch screen remote controller with a Spanish and English directory, shortens downtime with an Auto-Feed function that enables a new roll of material to automatically hone itself to the knife’s edge, and maximizes accuracy with a registration sensor that finds and cuts at the sealed area of a pouch to avoid miss-cuts. |
