Capsule selection and feeding unit
Enhance your capsule filling process with precise selection and feeding, ensuring only the perfect capsules reach the machine hopper, thereby maximizing production efficiency and quality control.
Selects and Feeds Perfect Capsules
The SC SYSTEM from IMA Group stands out for its ability to enhance productivity in pharmaceutical manufacturing by precisely selecting and feeding capsules. The system employs a continuous rotating wheel with calibrated holes, ensuring only perfect capsules pass through to the hopper, eliminating imperfections like crushed or ovalized capsules. Designed for applications involving pharmaceutical capsules, vitamins, and supplements, it supports high-speed, continuous operations typical in the industry. With models like SC 600 and SC 1600, it offers processing capacities of up to 230,000 capsules per hour. Integration into production lines is seamless due to its automated stop and restart feature, which activates based on capsule load levels, minimizing downtime. The unit is engineered for quick size changeovers and provides various selecting wheels to accommodate different capsule sizes, ensuring versatile application across diverse product lines. Compliant with industry standards, the SC SYSTEM facilitates efficient capsule production while minimizing waste and ensuring quality control at every stage.
