Multivac Unveils New Compact R140 Rollstock Machine For The Medical Industry

In its ongoing drive to give medical equipment manufacturers the opportunity to leverage the technology of thermoform fill-seal packaging, Multivac has introduced the new R140 rollstock system. It is the smallest rollstock thermoform fill and seal system available and guarantees the same quality and reliability customers have come to expect from Multivac. The machine's size makes it a perfect fit for any facility. The R140 delivers the same consistent, repeatable packaging results as larger thermoforming machines, making it ideal for small product runs, batch runs and just-in-time manufacturing without retooling existing packaging systems or interrupting other production lines. The cost-effective R140 can also be expanded to include many custom options Multivac is known for.

Because the R140 is designed to meet specific production needs, the fully automatic rollstock system is suitable for any packaging environment and occupies an area as small as 10.5 square feet. The machine's versatility allows for the use of both flexible and rigid film and extends to include cooperation with additional equipment such as coders and labelers. The R140 features stainless steel construction and is built with medical device and pharmaceutical packaging in mind.

"With the launch of the R140, Multivac's legendary quality is available to more medical device and pharmaceutical product packagers than ever," says Doug Slomski, director of Multivac's Medical, Consumer & Industrial division. "Companies taking advantage of this opportunity will be able to quickly improve their business for a very affordable investment, while maximizing facility production and manufacturing space." Most importantly, this cost-effective machine comes with the same reliability, service and support we deliver across our whole product line."

Users of the R140 have access to Multivac's extensive service and support team dedicated to the medical device and pharmaceutical industry. Services include design consultancy, intensive training courses and rapid response to provide the utmost confidence, return on investment and guidance in ensuring the delivery of quality medical device and pharmaceutical packaging.

The Multivac R140 rollstock packaging system is available throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.
