Tablet and capsule counting system
In pharmaceutical production, accurate counting and filling of tablets and capsules into bottles is essential. Challenges such as cross-contamination, varying sizes of product, and quick product changeovers can complicate the process.
Automates counting and filling operations precisely
The FTC Series from Marchesini is a specialized system for counting and filling bottles with tablets, coated tablets, hard and soft gelatin capsules, and lozenges. The equipment operates with intermittent motion for all operations, ensuring precise counting and easy size changeovers without tools. It features a balcony style conveyor belt, designed to prevent cross-contamination by keeping the filling and capping areas separate. The electronic counting group includes three vibrating trays at 12 channels each (24 channels for the FTC-24 model). This system integrates a self-learning feature to store and recall product recipes via a PC interface, and adjustments can be made from the display. It’s adaptable to various bottle diameters (20-100 mm) and heights (55-185 mm), with a production speed of up to 150 bottles per minute. The conveyor belt is easy to inspect and suitable for both plastic and glass bottles.
