Pac Nova High Speed Cartoning Machine

The Pac Nova doubles the Pac Glide's output ceiling — 300 versus 150 cartons per minute — through a reinforced high-speed frame, higher servo drive specifications, and a redesigned carton opening and closing system rated for sustained high-speed operation. The Pac Nova also carries a full 21 CFR Part 11 audit trail, a higher-specification leaflet station, and a more robust product feeder system for heavy or irregular products like vials and bottles.

The Pac Nova handles carton widths from 30 mm to 150 mm, heights from 20 mm to 100 mm, and lengths from 50 mm to 300 mm. Stored servo positions per recipe allow rapid self-adjustment between formats. The machine is designed for end-load carton formats with tucked-end or glued-end closing, at sustained throughput up to 300 cartons per minute.

The Pac Nova handles vials, bottles, blisters, ampules, and tubes on one platform. Product-specific feeders are engineered to exact line requirements. For tube lines it is the matched cartoner for the Mac 300. For pharmaceutical lines it handles parenteral vials, lyophilised product vials, ampules, and pre-filled syringes with purpose-built product feeders and reject conveyors.

Stored servo positions per recipe allow the Pac Nova to self-adjust to carton size and guide positions in minutes. A full carton and product format change is typically completed in under 25 minutes. Pacmac pre-configures all format recipes to your specific carton and product portfolio before delivery, so changeovers are driven by recipe selection rather than manual measurement.

The Pac Nova is the recommended cartoner for Mac 300 tube filling lines. It also integrates with high-speed blister machines, vial lines, bottle lines, and ampule lines. Pacmac engineers the full line layout and provides matched I/O control between all machines, including speed matching, reject handling coordination, and MES data exchange at production scale.

Yes. The Pac Nova is supplied with IQ/OQ documentation, 21 CFR Part 11-ready audit trail on the HMI, 316L stainless contact surfaces, and cGMP-compliant construction. Batch records, alarm logs, and recipe parameters are stored on the HMI for regulatory inspection. Pacmac's applications team supports full validation from FAT through site qualification and re-validation after product changes.

Yes. The Pac Nova supports combination packs with primary product plus leaflet, device, coupon, or secondary pack. Each component feeder is independently servo-driven with presence verification and auto-reject for any missing component. The high-speed leaflet feeder is validated for 300 inserts per minute with 100% detection. Custom multi-component configurations are engineered per line requirement.

Yes. The Pac Nova can be integrated with serialisation systems for pharmaceutical track-and-trace compliance. Inline cameras verify printed codes before carton closing. The 21 CFR Part 11-ready HMI audit trail logs every serialisation event. Integration with SCADA, MES, and level 3/4 aggregation systems is available as part of the project engineering scope.

The Pac Nova supports thermal inkjet (TIJ), thermal transfer overprint (TTO), and laser coding systems for variable data — batch number, expiry date, serial number — applied and verified at line speed. High-resolution vision systems for code readability verification and rejection of non-conforming cartons are available as standard options for regulated lines.

The Pac Nova is designed and manufactured by Pacmac. Every machine undergoes factory acceptance testing (FAT) before shipment. After-sales support includes on-site commissioning, operator and maintenance training, spare parts supply, and remote diagnostics. For high-speed pharmaceutical lines, Pacmac provides dedicated lifecycle support including planned maintenance programmes and rapid spare parts availability.
