Live at interpack: Marchesini Group to Show Latest Green Solutions

This week at interpack, Marchesini Group is highlighting solutions for packaging pharmaceutical or beauty products with environment-friendly materials.

This content was written and submitted by the supplier. It has only been modified to comply with this publication’s space and style.

At Interpack 2023, the Marchesini Group will provide a close-up view of a number of machines and lines able to package products with different types of materials, including paper, recyclable and recycled mono-material plastics, and aluminum.

For instance, the stand will exhibit a machine designed to carton vials in paper trays. This solution will be presented together with a new-design paper tray, which generates savings of approximately 50% in paper and about 50% in glue, compared to the models currently on the market. The new paper tray is less thick, providing space savings of 30% when products are combined inside the case.

Also in the sustainability area will be a complete line for blister products, an integrated, robotized solution that inserts tablets in a packaging consisting of 75% PVC-free aluminum and then in a cardboard carton. The line is completed by a monobloc, comprising a case packer and a palletizer equipped with a robot.

Apart from the all-aluminum primary packaging, this line’s key feature is the inclusion of track & trace technology by SEA Vision. From blister serialization through to pallet aggregation, the line is a single solution that protects brands and safeguards products from counterfeiting.

Also on display will be a thermoforming machine for forming mono-material trays in PET recycled material designed to take vials, and a line comprising a Schmucker 12-lane stick packaging machine, a stick inspection system, and a cartoner. The line is designed to process PP-based packaging materials (with and without PE), such as 100% recyclable mono-material plastics like OPP or BOPP with a metallized intermediate layer.

In addition, the area dedicated to green solutions will include a new machine that uses only cardboard as packaging material and can serve as a packer for small-sized cases, eliminating the need for plastic bundles, or as a cartoner for large sizes.
