The filmy strip tablets, each approximately 60 to 100 micrometers thick, are
taken orally but not swallowed. The medication, 20 by 30 millimeters in size,
dissolves on the tongue within a few seconds. Direct absorption of the active
ingredients by receptors inside the mouth leads to extremely rapid
distribution of the active ingredient in the body, comparable to an injection.
The StripTabsTM are packed in soft aluminum foil packages provided with
opening aids. The peelable primary packaging allows safe removal of the film
tablets, either by hand or tongue. Once sealed, the applications will keep for
up to three years. Romaco also supports users of this new pharmaceutical
StripTabsTM technology by developing individual formulations. The complete
supplier Romaco locates suppliers of raw materials and manufacturers of
pharmaceutical formulations.
In the Siebler HM 2/500 heat sealing machine, the StripTabsTM are cut to size
and sealed in strip packaging suitable for pharmaceutical use. This eight
meter-long machine was designed specially for the primary packaging
processes of pharmaceutical film tablets. With a maximum output of 1,500
items per minute, the HM 2/500 seals the StripTabsTM in light-tight and
moisture-proof soft aluminum film packaging. The applications are fed to the
ten-line hot-sealing process on film with a sealing width of up to 500
millimeters. The absolute reproducibility of the sealing parameters is
guaranteed by optimal pressure and heat distribution across the whole width
of the film. The sealing temperature is kept constant through a precision
control system, which is operated by several high-performance cartridge
heaters. Integrated sensors additionally provide continuous monitoring of the
heat-sealing processes.
The balcony structure and compact design of the P 91 cartoner allow good
access to all machine parts. This makes loading with folding cartons and
cleaning much easier. Actuators and a venturi vacuum unit reduce noise
exposure for the operating personnel and protect machine parts. Signs of
wear are reduced by the use of toothed pulleys during product transfer.
Safety friction clutches additionally protect the machine against mechanical
overload. Thus the cartoner has an impressively high level of capacity
utilization with a simultaneously low outlay for maintenance.
In this way, the Siebler StripTabsTM line brings together the skills of the
Romaco Group in the areas of Processing and Packaging. The development of
the StripTabsTM in association with the whole manufacturing and packaging
process is proof of the powers of innovation of this complete supplier to the
pharmaceutical industry.
