QuickPouch has over 25 years of experience in the development of customized, integrated, automated assembly and packaging systems for IVD / PoC test kits in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and formats.
For shorter run products, see an average of 50% increase in operator efficiency by hand loading tests into pre-made pouches with the semi-automated QuickPouch Micro
For higher volumes, you can also see significant material cost savings by forming pouches inline with the QuickPouch Vertical ACS and either loading by hand for lower volumes, or with a custom automatic loading solution to achieve even greater labor savings
For maximum cost savings and efficiency, you may fully automate the process, from assembling the test or device with a customized, modular automation system, printing and forming the pouch with a Vertical ACS, and loading the assembled and inspected part into the pouch along with any other required components, such as a desiccant and pipette. The filled pouch is then sealed as the next pouch is formed, all in one fully integrated system.
By fully integrating a QuickPouch assembly and/or loading system with the Vertical ACS form-fill-seal pouching machine, utilizing a shared PLC, HMI, and other major components, QuickPouch is able to offer a highly efficient, reliable, and cost effective all-in-one package for automating your test kit assembly and pouching process.
