There are extremely tough demands on machine construction for the pharmaceutical industry. The tiniest little error can be disastrous when manufacturing medicines. In addition to strict requirements of reliability and function, special demands are placed in terms of cleaning. This must be borne in mind when you design machines.
In order that production in Halden should be competitive on an international scale, both production and packaging must be automated. Thanks to their knowledge and experience of packaging machines and packaging lines for the pharmaceutical industry, Goodtech was invited to take part in the rationalisation process.
By optimising parameters such as product packaging, dynamic product labelling, automatic testing, quality control, traceability and packing, as well as automated transfer, the factory has achieved a notable increase in productivity.
One of the challenges in connection with the last contract was to find space for all of the equipment in the existing factory building. The solution was to create a machine that divides the work into cells rather than following a straight line. This design has a number of benefits, such as less wear, less noise and less waste if one of the work processes comes to a standstill.
