High-speed tablet ink printer
Achieve precise and high-speed printing on tablets and capsules for streamlined production and improved product identification, enhancing efficiency in your manufacturing line.

Prints Pharmaceutical Tablets and Capsules Efficiently
The IBM Ink Printing Machine from R.W. Hartnett Company revolutionizes high-speed printing for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers. This flatbed, servo-driven system prints effectively on tablets, soft gelatin capsules, and caplets, with a remarkable capacity of over 300,000 units per hour. Employing a flood feed hopper and additional bulk hopper, the machine ensures maximum fill rates for continuous operation. Integration into your existing production line is facilitated by its Wi-Fi connectivity and quick change carrier bar tooling. Its precision print registration is managed by a servo drive system, while the option for a vision inspection system with single piece rejection enhances quality control. The machine is compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 and meets CE and UL certifications, making it suitable for regulated environments. Cleaning and maintenance are streamlined through features like an optional rubber roll cleaning system. For customization, it offers an array of options, including validation document packages and floor-level infeed bulk conveyors, ensuring the system can be tailored to specific production requirements.
