Almac has invested in two ZED automated inline wallet presses at its Craigavon and Pennsylvania facilities. According to the company, the fully automated machines will drastically reduce timelines associated with the use of blister card packaging, compared to current rotary press methods. The automation on the machine is designed 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, helping to keep rejects to a minimum.
Martin Lamb, Almac’s global vice president of business development, said, “The machines are a welcome addition to Almac’s growing portfolio of automated primary packaging services as they demonstrate the company’s continued commitment to innovation and driving improvements across the clinical supply chain. These lines are ideal for larger Phase III trials that can require higher volumes of wallet cards. Also product pooling and using supplies across multiple protocols can drive card quantities past the traditional smaller volumes required for clinical supply. This allows us to provide the client with the right option for their study.”
