ACG partners with Allied Pharma to present cartoning machines at Interpack

Allied Pharma has unveiled plans to showcase two packaging and cartoning machines at Interpack 2026 including What iF Design award winner Karton X.

Blister X is a flat-forming, rotary-sealing, continuous-motion blister packaging machine designed for large-scale production batches. The machine features large forming areas for faster forming cycles and is completely servo-controlled to ensure consistent blister pack quality at high production speeds. It is capable of running forming cycles of  55-cpm for thermoforming applications and 45-cpm for cold-forming applications with a maximum blister size of 276 mm x 220 mm.

The Karton X is a high-speed cartoner with an output of 300 items per minute. It is used to pack blisters, bottles, tubes, vials, or ampoules in secondary packaging. A precise and clear geometric shape characterises its design, with better ergonomics and flat surfaces making cleaning easier. The stealth shape, resembling fighter-bomber aircraft, encloses the machine and highlights the technical components inside through large transparent front doors.

This ensures better accessibility for maintenance and changeover. The HMI, with an intelligent graphic user interface, can be moved horizontally across the machine’s length, providing better user operations. The machine has also been produced using recyclable materials such as steel, aluminum and corian, making it sustainable.
