										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Accessed through a simple smartphone app, vivid three-dimensional projections remain accessible well after the show.</em></strong></p>
<p><em>Norwell, MA –</em> <strong>Maruho Hatsujyo Innovations (MHI) – </strong>the U.S. subsidiary of Maruho Co. Ltd, a Japanese healthcare company with subsidiaries in Europe and the U.S. with global sales of $800 million – is inviting visitors to this year’s WestPack to take its featured machines home with them. Virtually, that is.</p>
<p>The blister packaging equipment supplier will be showcasing two of its most popular machines, the <strong>EAGLE-Omni</strong> and <strong>EAGLE-Rx</strong>, at <strong>WestPack Booth #5358</strong>, April 12-14 in Anaheim, CA. In addition to live demonstrations of the physical machines, MHI will feature a special augmented reality station where attendees can view, interact with, and project each machine in full size.</p>
<p>In fact, the experience can last well beyond WestPack itself: The technology allows attendees to examine and interact with vivid, 3D projections of the machines at their individual facilities (or anywhere else), simply by accessing a smartphone app. A necessary invention developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the protracted virtual showcase is designed to lead to more comprehensive, informed pre-purchasing decision-making for potential customers.</p>
<p>Measuring just over two meters in length and 1.6 meters tall, the reasonably compact <strong>EAGLE-Omni</strong> offers a format area of 150&#215;95 mm, and a forming depth of 30mm (3cm) with an upgrade available to 40mm. Performing forming, sealing and punching operations at sequential stations, the versatile machine handles a wide range of forming materials – including PVC, PVDC, ACLAR, PP, PET and ALU – and all typical lidding substrates including ALU, paper, PVC, PET, and laminates.</p>
<p>Ideal for packaging development, materials testing and production, the EAGLE-Omni can produce up to 20 blisters per minute, and is suitable for packaging solids, powders, liquids or devices. Notably, the option of a 40mm forming depth makes it ideal for nutritional products larger than traditional tablets or capsules, such as gummies, devices and other delivery formats.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, MHI’s <strong>Eagle-Rx</strong> is a high-performance blister packaging machine capable of producing up to 200 blisters per minute at a format area of 90x130mm. Featuring a compact balcony design, the unit can be operated by a single person with no formal training required. The Eagle-Rx offers toolless, recipe-driven changeovers, making it ideal for efficiently alternating between multiple products with varying batch sizes. Its servo technology ensures repeatability and minimizes mechanical adjustments.</p>
<p>For both machines, a key differentiating benefit is the ease and expediency with which prototypes can be produced, thanks to MHI’s groundbreaking 3D-printed blister tool prototyping capabilities.</p>

<p><em>Norwell, MA –</em><strong><em>– </em></strong><strong>Maruho Hatsujyo Innovations (MHI) – </strong>the U.S. subsidiary of Maruho Co. Ltd, a Japanese healthcare company with subsidiaries in Europe and the U.S. with global sales of $800 million – will showcase its <strong>EAGLE-Omni blister machine with an upgraded printer configuration </strong>at Pack Expo 2020, September 27-29 in Las Vegas. Ideal for packaging development, materials testing and production, the versatile unit performs forming, sealing and punching operations at sequential stations. MHI will be located at <strong>Booth SL-6738</strong>, in the<strong> Healthcare Packaging Expo </strong>section.</p>
<p>Measuring just over two meters in length and 1.6 meters tall, the reasonably compact EAGLE-Omni offers a format area of 150&#215;95 mm, and a forming depth of 30mm (3cm) with an upgrade available to 40mm. The machine handles a wide range of forming materials – including PVC, PVDC, ACLAR, PP, PET and ALU – and all typical lidding substrates including ALU, paper, PVC, PET, and laminates. The EAGLE-Omni can produce up to 20 blisters per minute, and is suitable for packaging solids, powders, liquids or devices.</p>
<p>At Healthcare Packaging Expo, the thermoformer will be outfitted with an upgraded printing setup, whose attributes include a print area of 75X128mm. This allows you to cover the majority of your blister with pertinent information, such as lot codes, batch numbers, expiration dates and more.</p>
<p>The cost-effective, deep-draw EAGLE-Omni is capable of everything from manual prototyping to fully automated operation. The option of a 40mm forming depth makes it ideal for nutritional products larger than traditional tablets or capsules, such as gummies, devices and other delivery formats. The machine allows seamless development and production combined with rapid, low-cost prototyping, and features recipe-driven format change, easy changeover, and various feeding solutions.</p>
<p>Among the Eagle-OMNI’s differentiating benefits is the ease and expediency with which prototypes can be produced, thanks to the company’s recently launched 3D-printed blister tool prototyping capabilities.</p>
<p>“Combined with our cost-effective 3D-printed tool prototyping, the EAGLE-Omni allows new packages to be tested for barrier, stability, and durability quickly and at a fraction of the usual expense,” said Hideo Yonenaga, President of the MPM division for MHI. “Previously, lead times were measured in weeks or even months, and prototyping was often prohibitively expensive. The new 3D-printed tool prototyping allows us to expediently showcase the wide array of high-quality blisters that machines like the Eagle-OMNI can produce.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Ideal for use in test situations, service can eliminate </em></strong><strong><em>long turnaround times and unnecessary costs.</em></strong></p>
<p><em>Norwell, MA –</em><strong><em>– </em></strong><strong>Maruho Hatsujyo Innovations (MHI) – </strong>the U.S. subsidiary of Maruho Co. Ltd, a Japanese healthcare company with subsidiaries in Europe and the U.S. with global sales of $800 million – has launched a new <strong>prototyping service</strong> that creates test products from 3D printing technology. For MHI’s clientele, the service makes available sample blister cavities nearly identical to final production, saving time and money compared with traditional metal tooling prototypes.</p>
<p>The new service’s calling card is speed: the technology provides blister prototypes in days rather than weeks, allowing companies to take a more expedient “try before they buy” approach to new or modified packaging platforms, including those being tested as part of stability studies. The dramatically reduced cost also provides leeway to test multiple blister formulations to determine which is most suitable for particular medicines, medical devices or other high-end products.</p>
<p>“MHI’s expeditious, cost-effective prototype tooling provides companies with a tremendous amount of flexibility when testing blister packaging platforms for barrier properties and other areas of variability,” said Benjamin Voelcker, Product Manager of the MPM division for MHI. “Historically, tooling lead times were measured in weeks, and prototyping was often prohibitively expensive. In reducing turnaround times and alleviating costs, our new approach allows customers the time and resources to find blister packaging solutions that best suit their products.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>With universal station for forming, sealing &amp; punching, multi-functional module ideal for packaging development &amp; material testing.</em></strong></p>
<p><em>Norwell, MA –</em><strong><em>– </em></strong><strong>Maruho Hatsujyo Innovations (MHI) – </strong>the U.S. subsidiary of Maruho Co. Ltd, a Japanese healthcare company with subsidiaries in Europe and the U.S. with global sales of $800 million – will showcase its <strong>EAGLE-Uni semi-automatic blister machine</strong> October 14-17 at <strong>Healthcare Packaging Expo Booth #W-984</strong>. Ideal for small-scale production, packaging development and material testing, the versatile unit performs forming, sealing and punching operations in consecutive steps at one universal station.</p>
<p>Measuring just over 1.2 meters in length and less than a meter tall, the compact EAGLE-Uni offers a format area of 150x150mm, and forming depths up to 30mm. The machine handles a wide range of forming materials – including PVC, PVDC, ACLAR, PP, PET and ALU – and all typical lidding substrates including ALU, paper, PVC, PET, and laminates. EAGLE-Uni can run up to five cycles per minute, and is suitable for packaging solids, powders, liquids or devices.</p>
<p>MHI’s booth will also showcase other machines in the EAGLE blister machine series, including the <strong>EAGLE-Pro</strong>, ideal for producing small-lot orders with multiple products; the<strong> EAGLE-Omni</strong>, whose platen sealing capabilities make it particularly versatile with a 30 mm forming depth; the <strong>EAGLE-Rx</strong>, capable of producing up to 200 blisters/min at a format area of 90x130mm; and other high speed machines for high volume applications such as the <strong>EAGLE-Max</strong>, which is capable of producing up to 600 blisters/minute.</p>
<p>“The EAGLE-Uni accomplishes an impressive set of functions in a small footprint – an important trait for successful small-batch blister packaging units,” said Tim Saarinen, Chief Operating Officer for MHI. “It is ideally suited for R&amp;D and niche products, insomuch as it allows manufacturers and packagers to fine-tune their materials and blister configurations and, from there, commence small production runs. We look forward to showcasing the machine – as well as the other blister machines in the EAGLE series – at Healthcare Packaging Expo this fall.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>High Performance, Servo-driven “Eagle” Blister Thermoformer </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Gains Traction in North America since 2016 Introduction </em></strong></p>
<p><em>Norwell, MA – </em><strong>Maruho Hatsujyo Innovations (MHI) </strong>– the U.S. subsidiary of Osaka-based Maruho Co. Ltd, a leading Japanese dermatology pharmaceutical company with subsidiaries in Europe and the US with global sales exceeding $600 million – will showcase its increasingly popular<strong> Eagle blister thermoformer</strong> at <strong>Pack Expo booth #N-630</strong>, September 25-27 in Las Vegas, Nevada.</p>
<p>Introduced in November 2016, the Eagle is an “Americanized” version of Maruho’s widely successful PF-D1S Blister Machine sold in Japan and Asia by its subsidiary, Maruho Hatsujyo Kogyo (MHK). MHK has been building these machines since 1987 and is one of the leading suppliers of pharmaceutical and medical packaging machinery in Japan. Over 400 MHK machines have been installed in Japan and Asia. Its customers include leading Japanese and multinational medical and pharmaceutical companies.</p>
<p>The compact, servo-driven, high performance Eagle comprises the company’s first foray into the North American marketplace and will soon be followed by other complementary offerings. Though entering the U.S. market less than a year ago, the Eagle has already piqued the interest of several prominent pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers and contract packagers.</p>
<p>The Eagle blister machine was designed for maximum versatility and process reliability. It is ideally suited for varying batch sizes, with quick, recipe-driven changeover that requires no tools. Its servo technology ensures repeatability and minimizes mechanical adjustments. Eagle’s balcony design achieves a small footprint. It runs all common forming films and lidding materials (including push-thru, peelable, and peel/push).</p>
<p>The competitively priced Eagle can produce up to 100 blisters per minute at a maximum index length of 90mm and maximum index width of 130mm. The machine is compatible with third-party feeders, cameras, printers and cartoning.</p>
<p>Featuring both platen forming and rotary sealing, the Eagle promises to stand up well in the U.S. market. The machine’s attractive attributes include ease of operation, user-friendly HMI, and easy expansion of feeder area when required. MHI also stresses its responsiveness and commitment to product support, providing U.S.-based installation, maintenance, spare parts and 24/7 technical support.</p>
<p>“As blister packaging emerges as a preferred packaging format, the Eagle continues to attract interest as a reliable, flexible and cost-effective option for pharma and nutraceutical manufacturers and contract packagers,” said Gregory Zaic, President &amp; CEO of MHI. “We look forward to building on this momentum at Pack Expo by demonstrating the unit’s uniqueness among competing solutions.”</p>
