System Features

Processing speeds up to 10,000 tablets per hour for
bi-layer, bi-color tablets.

  • True, closed-loop feedback, on-the-fly tracking of the tablets which results in better orifice quality with a large range of orifice sizes.
  • Standard orifice sizes range from 0.2mm – 2mm. Small and large orifice sizes are programmable and multiple holes per side of tablet is available upon request.
  • The laser selected provides superior orifice and repeatable release profile of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).
  • Integrated oscilloscope and remote-diagnostics
  • Integrated ionizers for ESD control

Dual Machine Vision Inspection

Due to the presentation of the tablet and our design of the system, the surface of the tablet is visible with the integrated dual vision systems leading to 200% inspection.

  • Tablets that fail vision inspection are blown off the conveyor into separate reject bins.

Tablet Transport System

Our superior bowl feeder and transport systems design results in smoother transitions, reduced tablet breakage and increased yield.

  • A large range of tablet sizes can run on a single system with a minimal change in parts—typically less than 30 minutes.
