Automatic functions include automated film unwind for roll feeding, highly accurate slide-dosing volumetric filler with level probe and vibration assist, double horizontal sealing design, color touch screen control panel, aspiration unit, and automatic stick rejection.
• Fill Volume: Up to 10g powder• Stick Size: 27.5 mm Width x 100~150 mm Length
• Output/Capacity: Up to 360 stick packs/minute
Toyo offers a variety of high speed multi-lane packaging machines, to include vertical form-fill-seal stick packaging and four-side-seal sachets. Stick packs and sachets are small, simple and convenient for pharmaceutical and unit dose packages containing tablets, powders & liquid medications and supplements.
Hitoshi Yamada, sales director for Toyo Machine Manufacturing, commented "Toyo Machine TM Series Stick Pack Machines have been chosen by the world's leading pharmaceutical and food companies. In recent years the pharmaceutical industry has responded to an increased demand for both prescription and over-the-counter products which are packaged for unit dose dispensing. Toyo Machine has supplied over 1,500 systems to the world’s top pharmaceutical companies in Japan and Asia. This confirms Toyo's experience and capabilities for class leading weight control, seal integrity and pack presentation. Our customers include Takeda, Daiichi Sankyo, Mitsubishi Pharma and many others."
Jeffrey Crangle, general manager of PTI Packaging Systems, the Americas distributor for Toyo, stated, "Toyo Machine offers extreme accuracies and a unique sealing method which provides an outstanding finished package presentation: second-to-none. But critical to success in the Americas, Toyo's attention to detail is specifically focused around FDA compliance, documentation, knowledgeable and experienced service availability and spare parts via PTI - all especially critical within the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets. PTI is pleased to make Toyo's fully integrated line of packaging machinery, both particulate based and liquid, available to North American companies."
Kyoto America is the number one supplier of pharmaceutical packaging machinery in Japan. "Kyoto will exhibit some of the latest technology in cartoning machines at Interphex this year," stated Alex Wardell, sales manager.
