Tablet and capsule ink print and laser marking system

Streamline tablet and capsule identification with a high-speed system capable of dual ink printing and precise laser marking on diverse pill formats, enhancing traceability and compliance in your production line.

Prints and Marks Tablets and Capsules

The Delta Combination Ink Print and Laser Writer from RW Hartnett Company combines precision engineering with versatility to address the needs of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers. This equipment specializes in dual-sided ink printing and laser marking, catering to a wide range of product types like tablets, soft gelatin capsules, and caplets. It features a robust output of 50,000 to 70,000 pieces per hour, driven by its servo drive system for accurate print registration and consistent performance.

The machine’s adjustable hopper maximizes fill rates, while the quick-change tooling supports smooth and efficient production line transitions. Its 15-inch touchscreen HMI with Wi-Fi connectivity simplifies operations and allows for real-time monitoring. Meeting the stringent standards of 21 CFR Part 11 along with CE and UL certifications, it ensures compliance in highly regulated environments.

For enhanced quality control, an optional vision inspection system offers single-piece rejection to maintain product quality. The machine’s design supports seamless integration into existing production lines and offers compatibility with both processing and packaging departments. Additional features like the ink viscosity system and rubber roll cleaning system reduce maintenance downtime, while available validation document packages facilitate regulatory compliance for contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs).
