Hall 5 – Aisle H – Stand 125
Marchesini Group at Emballage 2006
The star of the stand will undoubtedly be the worldwide debut of the new
Marchesini Group cosmetics jar filling and packaging line
A new jar filling and packaging line featuring revolutionary technology is now ready for the
worldwide cosmetics packaging market. This is the major new breakthrough that the
Marchesini Group, a worldwide leader in the manufacture of automatic machines and entire
lines for packaging pharmaceutics and cosmetics products, will be presenting for the first time
ever at the Emballage fair to be on stage in Paris from November 20 to 24, 2006.
The line includes two major innovations that will be celebrating their worldwide debut, the
new MAV50 vertical carton packer and the new MCV850 vertical case packer, without
forgetting the MV545 jar filling and capping machine and the Neri SL200DL2T labeller.
THE NEW VERTICAL CARTON PACKER MAV50
Due to a growing number of market requests and deeply certain of its great experience of
horizontal carton packer manufacture, the Marchesini Group has now tuned up an innovative
vertical cartoner, ideal for packaging jars and bottles.
The new MAV50 is a vertical, intermittent cartoner used for packaging pharmaceutics and
cosmetics jars and bottles. Its design and construction is distinguished by advanced
ergonomics that facilitate the actions of operators employed to oversee packaging and
safeguard cartons.
The cartons are transported by an innovative, patented solution. On one hand, this transports
the cartons, and on the other it avoid the contact with the static parts of the machine that may
cause abrasions or wear on the outside of the carton.
The cartons are opened using an innovative, patented mechanism that after picking up the
carton from horizontal magazine, turns it up so that it can be filled from the top (this means
the longitudinal folds are positioned vertically).
The jars are picked up and placed in the carton by a “pick & place” system built into the
structure of the machine. The jars can be transported both in pucks or without these one,
depending on the needs of the customer.
The cardboard and instruction leaflet feed magazines are horizontal. The “pick & place”
system picks them up, folds them and packs them into cartons. The great flexibility of the
machine can be seen from the various ways in which an instruction leaflet can be positioned:
i.e. either inserted at the bottom of the carton (folded in a U shape round the product) or
placed on top of the jar.
THE NEW MARCHESINI MCV 850 VERTICAL CASEPACKER
Another important component of the new Marchesini Group jar filling line celebrating its
worldwide debut is the new MCV850 vertical casepacker.
What are the machine’s winning features? Its balcony structure, its totally computerised
operation, the positive carton handling and its remarkable versatility: the use of gripper or
suction cup depending the product being packaged.
The first Marchesini vertical case packer uses robot technology, i.e. a robotized pick up head,
to guarantee high precision pick up operations. The use of brushless motors ( over 8 ) also
guarantees increased versatility and flexibility in a machine designed to reach speeds of up to
15 cases a minute.
The case feed unit is situated in an extremely ergonomic position and has a generous carrying
capacity that means it has remarkable autonomy. Size changes are quick and do not require
any tools. The various sizes to be processed are saved in the PC and when they are recalled by
the operator, the case conveyor belt automatically shifts to the correct position.
The numerous optional features available include the option of inserting a separator between
product layers and the chance to close the end flaps with glue instead of the standard adhesive
tape.
THE MV 545 JAR FILLER AND CAPPING MACHINE AND THE SL200DL2T
LABELLER
Upstream there are two machines marked out of innovative filling, capping and labelling
solutions.
First is the MV545 jar filling and capping machine. This machine has been designed to
comply with the highest technological standards and ensure ultimate productivity and quality.
The operating processes are monitored by a personal computer with a colour touch-screen
display. The machine makes use of an automatic pick up, positioning and cap tightening
system with electronic torque control that can be adjusted and set from the control panel. The
dosing units are fitted with tri-clover connectors (hopper, pumps, valves and nozzles) that
means they can be transferred completely (assembled in a single block) from the work zone to
the washing and sterilizing zone on the unit’s special cart. Dosing can be adjusted either
manually using the micrometric screw fitted with a digital indicator, or automatically from the
display using the stepping motor. And finally, a few specifications: size range: diameter 35-85
mm and height 35-80 mm; cap size range: diameter 35-85 and height 10-35; mechanical
speed: 75 beats/min.
The new jar packaging line also includes a Neri SL200CTF labeller. The technological
solutions on this machine means it is fully equipped to meet the wide range of needs posed by
the constant developments in a market such as the cosmetics packaging and labelling sector.
So what are the main features of the machine? The SL200CTF labeller has two labelling
stations, one for the top of the lid and one for the bottom of the jar. The labels are applied
using “pick and place” devices with suction mechanisms on the foldaway peeling plate and in
the positioning phase, i.e., on the successive fixed steps of the transport screw feeder. The jars
are transported the right way up by means of a worm screw, whereas the label presence check
stations and incorrect product reject stations are located on a parallel belt to guarantee top
quality labelling precision and avoid any damage to the jars.
