Karlsruhe/Germany, 30/05/2018
Romaco at ACHEMA 2018
Convincing line concepts
Three packaging lines, including one with an upstream tablet press –
Romaco will take advantage of the upcoming Achema to demonstrate its
expertise when it comes to configuring turnkey concepts. The
manufacturer will also show a whole series of standalone units for
pharmaceutical production and packaging.
Romaco Unity 500 in line with the Promatic PTT and the Promatic PAK 130
Romaco’s new Unity 500 blister packaging line is set to make its public debut at
Achema 2018. This monobloc machine will be on show in line with the Promatic
PTT for seamless track & trace and the new Promatic PAK 130 case packer.
Romaco specialises in single-source turnkey concepts – with the primary,
secondary and final packaging all in one line. A compact, GMP compliant design
was a key priority for the fully integrated blister packaging line. With a maximum
output of 500 blisters and 150 cartons per minute, the Romaco Unity 500 is
mainly intended for high-performance jobs at medium speeds.
For the first time ever, the Romaco Unity 500 will be teamed up in Frankfurt with
a Combo v2.0 feeder from Elizabeth Europe. This patented system gives
Romaco increased flexibility for feeding pharmaceutical solids in numerous
different shapes and sizes. The finished blisters are passed directly to the
cartoner’s bucket chain by means of a vacuum assisted overhead conveyor and
QuickTransfer, which works according to the positive transfer principle. Separate
servo drives ensure safe operation at the individual stations. Apart from an
advanced level of automation, the Romaco Unity 500 also offers excellent
opportunities for improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). The optimal
access to all components speeds up and simplifies cleaning of the blister line.
The fast product changes add up to significantly less downtime for the Romaco
page 2 of 5
Unity 500. Reproducible format parameters and QuickAdjust, the automatic
station control system, simultaneously reduce the run-in times to almost zero.
Innovative final packaging solutions with track & trace function
The Promatic PTT, which can be flexibly connected to any standard cartoner,
checkweigher or transfer system, was developed by Romaco to enable tamper-
evident identification of cartons. This new track & trace machine provides
numerous functions for seamless monitoring all along the supply chain, for
example the cartons can be laser or inkjet printed with 2D Data Matrix or QR
codes. The data can then be read out using OCR/OCV. The packs can
additionally be closed with various seals or labels for even better protection
against counterfeiting. A vignette applied to the top of the carton provides further
proof of originality. An interface to special serialisation software rounds off the
Romaco Promatic PTT.
The Promatic PAK 130, too, is shipped ready for integrating aggregation and
serialisation solutions. Up to five shipping cases per minute can be filled with this
semi-automatic machine. Romaco will show the compact Promatic PAK 130 at
Achema in line with the Romaco Unity 500 and the Promatic PTT.
Romaco Macofar LF 202 liquid filler with the Promatic PC 4000
A Macofar LF 202 attached to a Promatic PC 4000 continuous motion cartoner
will be another highlight at the upcoming trade fair. This latest member of
Romaco’s Macofar LF product family was likewise designed for processing non-
sterile liquids and is ideal for filling not only pharmaceuticals and cosmetics but
also nutraceuticals. To meet the requirements of such diverse applications, the
Macofar LF 202 can be equipped with various filling, check and closure systems.
The version with a table top design has two closing stations to enable dosing
caps to be fitted to bottle screw caps, for instance.
With a maximum output of 12,000 bottles per hour, the Macofar LF 202 is up
among the leading performers at high speeds. The actual production speed
always depends on the bottle size and the filling volume, which ranges from 0.5
to 500 millilitres. Versatile technology is a must here. The positive bottle handling
principle and the positive transfer of the stoppers and caps by means of pick &
place guarantee a highly reliable process whatever the application. If necessary,
the Macofar LF 202 can also be equipped with laminar flow or supplied in an
ATEX version.

The filled and stoppered bottles are transferred to Romaco’s Promatic PC 4000
continuous motion cartoner and packed in cartons at a maximum speed of 250
units per minute. In addition to the obligatory leaflet, various medical devices
such as spoons or pipettes can be inserted depending on the customer’s
requirements.
Integrated line for tableting and packing dishwasher tabs
Romaco Kilian and Theegarten-Pactec will join forces to show an integrated
solution for tableting and packing triple-layer dishwasher tabs together with an
AZO powder feeding system. The powerful Kilian KTS 1000 is tailor made for
processing corrosive, abrasive or acidic products. The dishwasher tabs are
transferred to the Theegarten-Pactec FPC5 and wrapped in flow packs with a
maximum output of 1500 tablets per minute. In addition to numerous industrial
applications, the Kilian KTS 1000 is also ideal for the food and cosmetics
segments.
The extra-robust KTS 1000 tablet press is offered in three different configurations.
The 3L model for compressing triple-layer tablets is shipped by Kilian with three
fill shoes and four compression stations. The tablet press achieves compression
forces of up to 120 kN with a pitch circle of 840 mm. Targeted measures reduce
in-process vibration to a minimum. The patented, wear-free punch brake
magnets and hydraulic overpressure protection enable an even more reliable
process. Thanks to its dedicated tooling and optimised product feeding system,
the Kilian KTS 1000 compresses even sticky or poorly flowing powders efficiently.
Other highlights at the Romaco booth
Apart from these line configurations, Romaco will also show several technologies
for packing, tableting, granulation, coating and drying pharmaceuticals. A Siebler
HM 1-230 strip packaging machine, tablet presses in the Kilian KTP, KTS, K and
STYL’ONE Evolution series and Innojet VENTILUS® processing machines will
provide an impressive demonstration of the Romaco portfolio’s diversity.
Romaco’s newest service products will round off the engineering specialist’s
trade fair exhibit.
Blister formats from Romaco Noack can be created quickly and easily using the
new BlisterMagic software. The system checks automatically whether the desired
formats are feasible based on the product specifications. PartGuard, developed
by Romaco Kilian, will in future be responsible for procuring and managing spare
page 4 of 5
and wearing parts. This innovative warehouse system keeps a continuous watch
on the customer’s inventory levels and makes sure owners of Romaco-built
equipment have all essential spares in stock in the right quantity exactly when
they are needed. Last but not least, Romaco will present the latest generation of
its smart glasses.
On show at ACHEMA in Frankfurt/Main (Germany) from June 11 to 15, 2018
(Messe Frankfurt, Hall 3.0, Stand B49).

Romaco Innojet IHD series at ACHEMA 2018
GMP compliant hot melt device for pharmaceutical applications
Romaco Innojet has just come up with the first GMP compliant hot melt
coating device specifically for use in the pharmaceutical industry. The IHD
series for processing hot melt coatings can be supplied as a laboratory or
pilot scale machine.
The IHD series from Romaco Innojet was specially designed for coating and
granulating pharmaceutical products with hot greases and waxes. GMP
compliance was a key development priority for these CIP capable devices,
particularly regarding the validation of the cleaning processes. All sealing points,
gaps and enclosed spaces were eliminated for this reason and flange
connections reduced to a minimum. The hot melt coating flows through straight
tubes to prevent any build-up of product residues. All product-contacted surfaces
inside the IHD devices are positioned in such a way that they are fully visible and
suitable for swab testing. Once the device has been cleaned, it can be opened up
quickly and easily for inspection. The Romaco Innojet IHD series successfully
avoids cross-contamination thanks to the hygienic design with no dead spaces.
To allow precise and uniform heat distribution, the Innojet IHD was designed as a
heatable monobloc integrating all functional components. The melting container,
dosing unit and valve block are all included in the same thermal cycle, which
means they do not have to be heated and insulated separately. The compact hot
melt coating devices are connected via a trace heated tube to the processing
machines in the Romaco Innojet VENTILUS® series whenever this is required by
the application. The Innojet IHD feeds the hot melt with a pulsation-free dosing
piston as standard, so that the coating is applied to the product absolutely evenly.
The central bottom spray nozzle on the Innojet machine enables both the
temperature and the size of the droplets with which the product particles are
coated to be precisely defined. The Romaco Innojet air flow bed technology
page 2 of 4
ensures homogeneous and controllable flow conditions in the container of the
processing machines. The laboratory scale version of the hot melt coating device
(Innojet IHD 5) is designed to handle batches of up to 5 litres while the pilot scale
machine (Innojet IHD 50) can process up to 50 litres.
Benefits of hot melt coated formulations
Innojet’s IHD technology lets pharmaceutical manufacturers reap the previously
unattainable benefits of hot melt coatings. Unlike aqueous alternatives, hot melt
coatings contain no solvents which would have to be evaporated again after they
have been sprayed on. Hot melt coatings solidify directly on the product, resulting
in up to 85 percent shorter processing times. Less spray is required for hot melt
coating processes because the formulations are solvent-free. What’s more, since
there is no need to heat the air in order to dry the product, energy efficiency is
improved. Hot melt coating is not only an extremely economical and efficient
production process; it is also very versatile, for example for moisture barriers,
taste masks or delayed API release.

hot melt coating at the ACHEMA press preview from March 14, 2018:

New development from Romaco Promatic
Integrated solution for seamless track & trace
Romaco offers new technology that enables the implementation of anti-
counterfeiting devices for cartons. The Promatic PTT track & trace machine
can be flexibly configured and integrated into new or existing
pharmaceutical secondary packaging lines.
The Promatic PTT was developed by Romaco as a new platform for anti-
counterfeiting systems for carton identification. The integration of this track &
trace machine in a secondary packaging line enables pharmaceutical packaging
to be tracked seamlessly all along the supply chain. The Promatic PTT can be
either implemented in a new line configuration or retrofitted in an existing one,
depending on the specification. It makes no difference whether the PTT module
is connected to a Promatic continuous or intermittent motion cartoner or to third-
party apparatus. The servo-driven machine works independently; it allows
synchronised operation of the upstream and downstream line components as
well as positive transfer of the cartons by means of toothed belts.
Variable data and the Pharmacode – either a 2D Data Matrix or a QR code – are
first of all printed on the side of the packs. Various devices such as an inkjet or
laser printer can be used for this purpose. The printed data can then be read
optically and verified using OCR/OCV. This system is also suitable for connection
to serialisation software. Furthermore, a vignette can be applied to the top of the
cartons in order to comply with the regulations which are in force in certain
countries. This process, too, is monitored by a camera. The flaps at both ends of
the cartons can then be sealed with security labels for even more effective
protection against counterfeiting. Once again, a system checks that these
tamper-evident features have been applied correctly.
All operations carried out by the Promatic PTT are linked to an ejection system,
which ensures that any faulty packs are automatically removed. The reject bins
page 2 of 3
can be locked securely and discharged safely without stopping the machine. As
an option, rejects can be sorted into two different bins, depending on the type of
error that occurred on the machine.
The Promatic PTT processes up to 400 cartons per minute overall. Romaco’s
new track & trace system has benefits for contract packaging and pharmaceutical
manufacturers alike as an integrated and flexibly configurable solution for
tamper-evident identification and tracking of cartons.
