A glove enhancement

Published: 11-May-2004


Doyen Medipharm, the specialist supplier of packaging and converting machinery to the medical industry, has announced significant improvements to its glove packaging lines. Doyen's GPM glove packaging lines operate by taking a web of material, which will become the sterile field for the gloves, forming the web, having gloves hand placed into the web, and then closing and finally folding the sterile field. Normally the walleted packs are fed directly into the packaging machine for sterile pouching operation. The new units are supplied with servo drives to the knife and printer units, which previously were synchronously driven from a single drive motor. This upgrade has improved dimensional accuracy of the sterile field area by as much as 3mm, and reduced the maintenance by a factor of more than 50%. The life of the knife blades has also improved.
