Rotary indexing table for dosing and assembly

Optimize production efficiency with a compact rotary indexing table that streamlines dosing, filling, and assembly processes, ensuring high-speed output and precise component handling for complex pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing.

Facilitates Dosing and Assembly of Medical Devices

The FRT Rotary Indexing Dosing and Assembly Platform from Harro Höfliger is a compact, versatile solution ideal for pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers. It efficiently handles dosing, filling, and assembly processes using precise rotary indexing technology. The FRT is adept at assembling inhalers, cartridges, and diagnostic products within a limited space, ensuring seamless integration into existing production lines.

Equipped with sophisticated dosing methods and control systems, the FRT supports both fully automatic and semi-automatic operations, achieving up to 60 cycles per minute across multiple lanes. Designed for high-speed operations, it offers compliance with cleanroom standards up to class A 100,000 – 100, making it suitable for sensitive environments.

The platform incorporates barrier technology for operator and product safety, especially when dealing with highly active and toxic substances. Available in various materials to ensure chemical compatibility and featuring integrated containment systems, the FRT meets rigorous industry standards such as GMP and FDA compliance.

Efficient parts handling, enabled by vacuums, grippers, or tongs, allows for accurate component transfer and assembly. Additionally, Harro Höfliger offers customization options and engineering support to tailor the system to specific production needs, ensuring optimal performance and integration.
