Modular Uv printing system for pharmaceutical packaging

Enhance your pharmaceutical packaging with high-speed, precision UV printing that accommodates diverse substrates, ensuring vibrant, solvent-free prints ideal for medical environments.

The Hapa 382 Hybrid from Hapa is a modular UV printing system engineered for the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. This technology merges the efficiency of Flexo with the adaptability of Digital UV DOD printing, providing a versatile solution capable of handling a range of packaging substrates including aluminum foil, paper, PVC, and Tyvek. Ideal for blister and medical packaging, it features high-speed printing at up to 35 meters per minute and supports both black and Pantone spot colors. A notable highlight is its ozone-free UV curing and format-free operation, which contribute to efficient and environment-friendly production processes.

The system’s modular design allows for seamless integration into existing production lines, assisted by digital communication and automation control via OPC UA. It supports serialization and registered printing, crucial for compliance in pharmaceutical serialization requirements. The award-winning HMI enhances user interaction, while the automatic printhead cleaning system and simple print mat mounting reduce downtime and maintenance efforts.

The Hapa 382 Hybrid conforms to industry standards with support for camera inspection systems and a robust inspection and validation documentation framework. Its configurations, such as roll-to-roll and top-mounted setups, along with optional pre-treatment and vision inspection systems, allow tailored solutions to fit specific operational needs.
