Dividella ACCELERATES high-output packaging with new NeoTRAY flagship cartoner

Grabs, Switzerland: – Top-loading parenteral and secondary packaging specialist Dividella has set a new benchmark for high speed parenteral packaging with its latest NeoTRAY fully automatic family of cartoners that supports outputs up to 40 million packs per shift/year. This range of Cartoners is especially suited for high output, low product count packs.

Top loading and side loading combined

The NeoTRAY establishes an additional benchmark by operating with both the careful handling of a top loader and the high speed of a continuous motion side loading Cartoner.

The modular system allows for a broad range of applications for high volumes. It is particularly suitable for packaging parenteral administration forms including vials, syringes, injectors, pens, ampoules and cartridges as well as inhalers, nasal sprays and other applications.

NeoTRAY combines the recognized production and environmental advantages of 100% mono-material packs with Dividella’s emphasis on modular design and engineering as well as 40-years’ worth of experience in product handling to provide highly adaptable and customized feeding solutions.

The best of two worlds combined

No more having to choose between top loading flexibility and side loading speed. The NeoTRAY combines the best of both worlds in one machine. “With our patented top-loading technology, the products are gently placed into the open trays from above. Fast side-loading can manage large volumes of a wide variety of parenterals,” Christoph Hammer, Dividella CEO, added.

The NeoTRAY saves time and money: at an ACCELERATED rate. The intelligently designed cartoning machine processes up to 400 individual products or multipacks per minute while utilizing a best-in-class range of package formats ranging in size from 65x35x15 mm to 200x150x 110 mm.

To meet current and future regulatory requirements, the NeoTRAY also offers integrated solutions for tamper evident and child resistant packaging as well as Serialization functionality.
