Rigid tube filling and capping system for tablets
In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, precisely filling and capping rigid tubes with tablets is crucial. Common challenges include maintaining hygiene standards and ensuring accurate tablet counts, especially when dealing with varying sizes and shapes of tablets.
Ensures accurate filling and capping of tablets
The MT1000, part of the Marchesini Group, is an automatic system designed for counting and accurately placing tablets into rigid plastic or metallic tubes. This system stands out due to its compliance with GMP norms and its integration of advanced mechanics for precise operations. The MT1000’s tablet insertion mechanism uses a pick&place system that ensures a positive placement of each tablet. Tube transport is executed through bushes that move synchro-dynamically, reducing the risk of misalignment. The compact tube feeding system minimizes the machine’s footprint, and the final tube closure is achieved with a pressure cap, ensuring a secure and reliable seal. It’s engineered with steel and aluminum including AISI304 stainless steel panels, which are suitable for direct contact with the product. The MT1000 is ideal for industries requiring high standards of hygiene and precision, such as pharmaceuticals, and it can handle tubes with diameters from 16 to 40 mm and lengths from 60 to 160 mm. The machine is capable of processing up to 1000 tablets per minute.
