Valco Melton develops a hot melt-based tamper evident solution for the pharmaceutical industry.

Designed to be easily integrated in any existing line, Valco Melton’s guarantees protection against product damage our counterfeit, as required by the European legal requirements for the pharmaceutical industry becoming effective in the upcoming mon

According to the Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) in Europe, every pharmaceutical

manufacturer is required to adapt their packaging lines to guarantee that every box is

safely closed until it reaches the consumer's hands. Valco Melton, a world-leading

manufacturer of adhesive dispensing equipment and quality assurance systems, has

developed a complete solution that guarantees that every medical box is perfectly

sealed and protected against counterfeit until it reaches the patient.

Among all tamper evident alternatives, hot melt-based technology is be most reliable

option since, once the package is sealed, flaps must be broken in order to open the

carton. This system guarantees that its content has not been manipulated and the carton

re-sealed.

Apart from its effectiveness, this flexible technology can be easily integrated into any

new or existing line, and is capable of working at the highest speed lines without

interfering with the workflow. Valco Melton’s systems are available in different mounting

configurations and are specifically engineered to minimize downtime and maintenance.

The complete solution consists in the Kube melt-on-demand demand unit, which

promotes adhesive stability and reduce char by only melting adhesive as it is required,

and an EcoStitch™ all-electric hot melt applicator, that produces accurate adhesive dot

patterns and reduces adhesive usage by up to 75%. Combined with the VD2 controller,

adhesive patterns can be easily customized and controlled. To ensure a faultless

delivery, the PackChek Vision Inspection System checks the correct placement and

length of every glue bead and reports any error.
