Global Clinical Services provider Almac has announced an investment in two ZED automated inline wallet presse to its Craigavon and Pennsylvania offices.
The automation on the machine allows for accurate placement of blister strips into the wallet cards. The location and orientation of the blisters is then verified by a vision system prior to sealing the card. This helps to keep rejects to a minimum and maximises yield on product. This is the latest development in an ongoing campaign by Almac to continually invest in automation as a boost in efficiency and capacity to core primary packaging services.
