Uhlmann Packaging Systems introduced its new IBC 150 Bottling Line designed to provide fast, simple format changeovers, short setup times, and optimally linked stations integrated into its monoblock line architecture. Designed for small to medium-sized batches of solid dose products, the bottling line combines with Uhlmann’s Labeler L180 and end-of-line Case Packaging Center 10 for comprehensive, bottle-to-pallet packaging. The IBC 150 Bottling Line is also equipped with an end-to-end bottle tracking system to help combat counterfeiting and ensure product reliability. 
           
The line integrates bottle transport, counting modules and an automatic capping unit and is less than five meters in length. According to the company, it operates up to 20 percent more efficiently than a solution made up of separate components, and handles bottles ranging in diameter from 25 to 125mm. According to the company, micro-stops and ramp-up phases are eliminated, a format-free bottle transport guarantees continuous product flow, and a touchscreen HMI provides intuitive operation.
