Romaco at CPHI & PMEC India 2025
Localised format part production shortens delivery times
Karlsruhe/Germany, 2025-10-28 +++ At CPHI & PMEC India in Delhi, Romaco will be exhibiting the Noack N 950E blister packaging machine, equipped for the first time with format parts from India. This marks the launch of format part production in India for Romaco Noack’s blister packaging machines. The new strategic realignment will enable Romaco to dramatically shorten delivery times for format part production. After the trade fair, the N 950E will be ready for use as a test machine at the Romaco India Experience Centre.
Pharmaceutical machinery manufacturer Romaco is bolstering its presence in India and ensuring close proximity to customers by localising format part production for its Noack 900 blister packaging machine series. Users will benefit from shorter delivery times of these locally produced format parts, which will satisfy the same quality criteria as their European counterparts. Furthermore, the resulting reduction in transport mileage will have a positive impact on the carbon footprint of these machine components, which aligns perfectly with Romaco’s sustainability strategy.
Since it was founded in 2019, the Sales & Service Centre Romaco India in Mumbai has enjoyed continuous growth. The official opening of the Romaco India Experience Centre in Hyderabad was a key highlight last year. This state-of-the-art customer and training centre also houses a processing laboratory, which pools Romaco’s expertise in granulating, tableting and coating pharmaceutical solids.
The localisation of format part production heralds another significant milestone in the expansion of Romaco’s position on the Indian market. This move will also boost sales of new machines – an area in which proximity to customers is all-important. Following the presentation of the Noack N 950E at CPHI & PMEC India, the blister packaging machine will be made available to users and prospects at the Experience Centre in Hyderabad. Here, the machine can be used for running in and testing new formats, as well as for foil tests and operator training sessions. It will also be possible to adjust existing formats locally in future.
Assembly of the N 950E also took place in Asia – at the Romaco plant in China. By expanding Romaco’s production site in Changsha and localising format part production in India, Romaco will meet the requirements of its local customers and demonstrate its strong commitment to the Asian markets.
Romaco Noack N 950E blister packaging machine
The N 950E is an ultra-flexible, easy-to-use blister packaging machine with rotary sealing for the high-speed segment. The blisters can be conveyed both longitudinally and crosswise, with the machine achieving a maximum output of 500 blisters a minute. It has a compact design in which the individual stations, such as sealing, coding, perforation and die-cutting, are configured in a way that saves space. Therefore, the N 950E only takes up a very small footprint in the primary packaging cleanroom, enabling space to be used to the max. All machine components are also easy to access, simplifying machine retooling and cleaning. What’s more, the use of servo technology ensures fast and reproducible format changes and reliable machine operation with high-quality end products. As a result, the N 950E meets all the requirements for outstanding OEE values, which can easily be read and evaluated on the HMI. The blister packaging machine can handle all sealable films – including sustainable mono-materials of PET, PP, PE and paper – and is equally capable of manufacturing aluminium-aluminium blisters. With its ingenious heating and cooling systems at the forming station and rotary sealing system, the machine can cope with all types of products and packaging materials. Configuration of the product feeding unit is also extremely flexible and takes place either with dedicated feeding, using a brush-box feeder or manually. Furthermore, the Romaco Noack N 950E blister packaging machine is compatible with different transfer systems to the downstream cartoners, such as the Romaco Promatic PC 4201 continuous motion cartoner.
One stop solutions by Romaco
At CPHI & PMEC India, the Romaco Noack N 950E blister packaging machine will also be joined by the VENTILUS® Lab fluid bed processor from Innojet and the KTP 1X compaction simulator from Kilian – two laboratory all-rounders for R&D in the field of granulation and tableting.
On show from 25 to 27 November 2025 at CPHI & PMEC India, Delhi NCR, Greater Noida, India Expo Centre, Stand 10.C03.
