FAQ

Questions from Pharma & Medical Devices

Which Kappler machine is suitable for pharma?

The KC-V8 and the KC-V10, each in pharma version. Which one fits depends on the configuration and the equipment needed – such as how many filling stations and inspection modules you require. With ten stations, the KC-V10 offers more room for modules.

What does pharma version mean?

The machine plate is bolted from below. This means less dirt collects and the machine is easier to clean. Optionally available in stainless steel and with cable grommets.

Can medical devices and multi-part kits be cartoned?

Yes. At several filling stations, the components are inserted one after the other – for example for test kits or sets – and the instructions for use are added by the leaflet inserter.

Which leaflets can the inserter handle?

Folded leaflets 20–50 mm wide and 90–210 mm long, paper from 50 g/m². Details can be found on the modules page.
