Packaging Machinery Helps Swiss Pharma Firm Produce Tibetan Meds

Blister packing, cartoning and case packing equipment from Romaco prove critical to PADMA’s automated packaging of herbal meds made and certified under internationally approved pharmaceutical guidelines.

PADMA AG is a Swiss pharmaceutical company specializing in the manufacture of Tibetan medicines. The firm uses Romaco Noack and Romaco Promatic equipment to pack its multi-component herbal capsules in blisters and folding cartons. All processes are GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices)-compliant.

Raw materials are delivered to PADMA’s headquarters in Wetzikon in powder form and then processed further in manufacturing campaigns. In the first step, the formula is mixed homogeneously and filled into capsules. The finished product is mainly packed in blisters with 20 capsules each; four-capsule blisters are also produced as samples. The products destined for sale can be supplied in packs of 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10 or 27. Considerable flexibility is called for to pack the blisters in seven different box sizes.
