8MR1216 is a Medical grade sealing machine. This 8 station rotary system is designed for medium to high volume production runs. These units are manufactured to work in conjunction with your clean rooms.The 8MR1216 can automatically feed a wide range of components for physician sample packaging. Our sealers would most typically be used in packaging of the following items:

  • Physician samples
  • Promotional drug packaging
  • Unit dose packaging
  • Starter dose packs
  • Compliance packaging
  • Wallet packages

8MR1216 system offers you the flexibility to incorporate labelers, barcode readers, and double seal presses for progressive package assembly. We can offer you many levels of machine control, including process monitoring systems with reject circuitry for fault detection and isolation of suspect packages or components.

Choose from three automatic eject system options: Packagers are lifted from the nesting trays and either: 1)deposited on customer conveyor blister-up from eject slide (standard); or 2) lift and transfer, blister-down to take off conveyor or table (transfer eject); or 3) pick and transfer blister-up orientated on customer conveyor (hand-off eject).
