Automated Carton Contentes Inspection and Leaflet Inserter with Pharmacode Verification

A fully automated leaflet inserter with a batch data printer and vision inspection system. It verifies carton contents, pharmacodes, leaflet presence, and batch data, rejecting non-compliant cartons and halting after three rejects. The system handles multiple carton formats with quick size changes and complies with GMP standards using fail-safe sensors for enhanced safety and efficiency in pharmaceutical packaging.
Tekpak’s Automated Leaflet Inserter with Batch Data Printer & Vision Inspection System is designed for efficient insertion of pre-folded and tabbed booklets/leaflets directly into cartons. The system features a vertical leaflet magazine and pneumatic release, making it ideal for high-speed pharmaceutical packaging.

Multiple camera-based vision inspection systems verify carton contents, carton pharmacode, leaflet pharmacode, leaflet presence, and printed batch data. Rejected cartons are directed into a reject bin, and the system stops after three consecutive rejects to prevent errors.

The system supports multiple carton formats with quick size change capabilities and includes a batch data printer for product information. Constructed from stainless steel 304, it meets pharmaceutical specifications and GMP standards, featuring fail-safe sensors and a safety control system to ensure compliance and safety.

Tekpak’s solution guarantees high-speed, reliable packaging, offering leaflet insertion, batch data printing, and product verification for the pharmaceutical industry.
