  • the invention relates to a method for the automatic production of patient-specific packaging for medical and / or pharmaceutical and / or food supplementing products, comprising the steps of: transporting substrates and the like by a system for automatically producing patient-specific packaging for medical and / or pharmaceutical and / or supplemental products according to any one of claims 1 to 11, loading the substrates with medical and / or pharmaceutical and / or nutritional supplemental products by transporting the products from a placement controlled by a control head from a ready position to a dispensing position on the substrate.
  • Such methods and systems are used in the pharmaceutical and / or packaging industry to put individual packaging units of products together.
  • Such packaging for example, adapted to certain courses of therapy. In other words, every package is put together individually.
  • placement machines In order to automate a placement process, basically different types of devices for loading, so-called placement machines, are known from the state of the art, but these are usually designed for fitting electronic components for printed circuit boards or the like. In the pharmaceutical and / or packaging industry, however, it is also desired and increasingly necessary in the production of therapy-specific and / or patient-specific packaging that automation can be realized.
  • WO 2005/102841 A1 a system for automatic placement of packaging units of drugs known.
  • This system is characterized by the fact that the products (capsules, tablets, dragees, etc.) are stored patient-specifically in receiving compartments arranged in rows and columns, wherein in each compartment several products are directly adjacent to each other and each other.
  • the WO 2005/102841 A1 maintains the previously described principle of manual loading with a variety of different products in a single shell or nest for each time of administration and enhances the performance of this principle through its automated performance.
  • the actual device for loading the compartments comprises an output station for each product. Between rolls on which the products are wound as strip blister and the output stations, a cross conveyor is provided, which ensures the transport of the strip blister in the area of the output station.
  • the output stations are associated with ejection units, by means of which the products are pressed out of the strip blisters.
  • the products are directly mechanically loaded and conveyed unprotected into the receiving compartments.
  • the disadvantage of this system is on the one hand the fact that the risk of cross-contamination is that several identical or different products are pressed into the receiving compartments.
  • there are fundamental hygienic problems since the mechanical loads required when expressing the products lead to attrition of the products remaining in the device. This further increases the risk of cross-contamination.
  • Another disadvantage is that said plant has a very large footprint, since for each product a squeezing station with associated ejection unit is necessary, which are all arranged in series.
  • the device separating means for separating filled with products Blistering sections of the blister strip and the or each placement head for receiving, rotating and dispensing the separated Blisterabroughe with the products sealed therein to the respective placement position on the substrate during transport of the same is formed by the system.
  • the release agent provides the ability to "portion" the products in a packaged manner such that they do not need to be unpacked to assemble an individual package. This ensures, on the one hand, that there are no (cross-) contamination hazards.
  • the products are also protected during the manufacturing process of the packaging from direct mechanical damage. Also, the production of such packaging in clean room conditions, which have much lower requirements than clean room conditions, be performed, which reduces the production cost and thus the cost.
  • two receiving positions of a magazine are arranged one above the other, which means that the device can be made even more compact.
  • the stacked receiving spaces of a magazine are offset from one another laterally. As a result, both roles can be used simultaneously, ie without loss of time.

  • the magazines can be pre-equipped to ensure a short change cycle.
  • Furthermore, can be improved by the possibility of optimized placement of the magazines on the device, the placement times.
  • An advantageous embodiment provides that the magazines are modular, such that they are interchangeable according to the so-called plug & play principle. This ensures a quick troubleshooting or a quick replacement of magazines.
  • rollers are mounted circumferentially in the magazines or the receiving stations, which ensures a simplified and shortened roll change.
