Packaging Automation for High-Volume, Lightweight Goods
FlexLink supplies production and packaging automation to the pharmaceutical industry focusing on flexibility, productivity and enhanced cleanliness.
Overall safety is crucial for both the product and their operators. Because of the accumulated know-how in our company, we can present solutions from handling sensitive products with a minimum of packaging material to offering low-static conveyors for maximum cleanliness.
Your opportunities await among customer products, application areas and customers cases.
The production of medical devices is a growing area for automation. Some of the reasons are:
The products normally have a high value increase during the production process, and therefore the product yield and consistency of quality are crucial factors.
The FlexLink conveyor is based on an aluminium conveyor beam with low friction slide rails guiding a plastic multi-flexing chain. Products to be conveyed travel directly on the conveyor, or on pallets/carries. Products that are handled have a weight from a few grams up to 20kg with as well a huge variety of shapes.
The high flexibility and the wide range makes it possible to use the conveyors in both permanent lines as well as in flexible modularised solutions. Solutions based on FlexLink conveyors are used in all major industries.
Significant features for the conveyors are:
Through the whole of the process we support you with over 20 years of world leading mass flow experience, with layout, project management, installation, commissioning, training and local service support.
We offer complete systems for all stages of the secondary process. Providing flexible, efficient and safe solutions adapted to your current and future needs.
Incorporating our long established and well proven equipment, product flow is improved in all areas of cigarette, filter and cigar making and packing process. Product flow is improved and downtime eliminated from belting breaks and tracking problems, leading to greater uptime and improved quality.
FlexLink has launched two new conveyor systems, the hygienic conveyor system and the neck guide handling system. Both systems focus on filling lines for dairy, food and beverage producers as well as the personal products and fluid pharmaceuticals producers.
The hygienic conveyor system is made for demanding customers, which put cleanability, high-speed capacity and safety first. A number of standard solutions are offered. The system uses the latest technology.
The neck guide system is a new way of handling plastic bottles with high line efficiency and at the same time low energy consumption. The system offers several standard solutions like rinsers, elevators, diverters and mergers.
We support you through the whole process with our 20 years of world leading paper converting experience, layout support, project fulfilment, installation, commissioning, training, and local service.
