Used CAM Horizontal Cartoning Machines for Sale 41

CAM (Confezionatrici Automatiche Modena) is an Italian manufacturer of pharmaceutical and packaging machinery founded in Modena. The brand specialises in cartoning machines, blister packaging, and complete packaging solutions for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food production.

On the used market, CAM horizontal cartoning machines offer accessible Italian-built pharmaceutical packaging capability. Exapro listings cover various CAM cartoner generations across different speed and format specifications. CAM pricing on the used market is typically 20-35% below comparable Marchesini or Korber equipment of similar capacity, making the brand attractive for pharmaceutical and food packaging operations not requiring premium-tier equipment. Serialisation-ready CAM cartoners (for EU FMD and DSCSA compliance) command meaningful premium reflecting the cost of new serialisation retrofits. Compare current CAM listings to evaluate features and condition.

Key inspection points before buying include format part availability and condition, drive system state, glue or hot-melt system condition, vision and serialisation components if equipped, and complete GMP documentation including URS, IQ, OQ, and validation records for pharmaceutical applications. Without GMP documentation, re-qualification costs significantly reduce practical purchase value for regulated production.

Buying a used CAM horizontal cartoning machine: what to check

Before purchasing any used cartoning machine, particularly for regulated pharmaceutical production, thorough inspection is essential. For CAM equipment specifically, GMP documentation is the first checkpoint. Without complete URS, IQ, OQ, PQ, and validation records, the machine cannot be installed in regulated production without re-validation — which is expensive and time-consuming.

Test the machine through several format runs if possible. Inspect format parts for wear and verify which sizes the machine is currently configured for. Check drive system operation, glue or hot-melt system functionality, and any vision or serialisation components. For machines with track-and-trace systems, verify software currency and any vendor support contracts. Request operating hours and production records.

Transport for CAM cartoners requires flatbed handling and careful rigging. Plan integration with upstream product feeding (blister machines, bottle counters), downstream case packing or palletising, and any serialisation data systems. On Exapro, each CAM listing provides specifications, photos, and seller contact. Compare multiple CAM listings to find the right combination of speed, serialisation capability, GMP documentation, condition, and accessible Italian-built value pricing for your pharmaceutical, cosmetic, or food packaging operation.
