The machine will be installed at TCPL’s Guwahati plant.

Saket Kanoria, managing director, TCPL Packaging, said, “This is the third Visionfold at the Guwahati plant. In terms of automation, it’s a fully-loaded machine and better equipped than the previous two machines.”

Venugopal Menon, business director for sheetfed BU, India sub-continent, said, “This is a highly configured machine. It is equipped with four- and six-corner attachment, an auto ejection system, extended delivery and collecting table among other features.”

The machine is equipped with a Baumer HHS inspection system, which will read the barcode for any mix-up in the pharma carton, and eject the defective piece at the speed at which it is running, which is 350 metres per minutes converting to 1,20,000 cartons per hour.

“The new Visionfold will increase the folding-gluing capacity by 50%,” added Kanoria.

Meanwhile, TCPL Packaging has commenced commercial production from its Flexible Packaging Unit (FPU) situated at village Dapada, Silvassa in the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, with effect from 1 February 2017.
