Capmatic®, provider of liquid, tablet and powder packaging systems for over 50 years, hosted a private machinery expo at the Davis Conference Center in Salt Lake City, UT, in October.
Following a successful PACK EXPO Las Vegas, the event was held from October 3 to 5, 2017, and was attended by healthcare manufacturers and CMOs from across North America. Attendees from a variety of industries—pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics and more—gathered at the expo to view several of Capmatic’s systems in action, including:
-
Countlab Street Fighter, an electronic tablet and capsule counter designed to handle tablets, caplets, hard caps, softgels and more in a wide range of container sizes and shapes. The Street Fighter 100 and 200 have a throughput of 1 million and 2 million tablets/hr, respectively. Height adjustment is automatic, so nozzles do not need to be changed to accommodate different bottle sizes. The manifold features a smooth finish, and an extra vacuum station at the nozzle helps to prevent dust and powder flow upward.
-
Patriot, a single-indexing multi-station platform that fills up to 1000 mL with a low profile that can be configured to handle several types of applications. The multi-station monoblock can be equipped with a variety of filling and dosing systems, a choice of plugging and/or capping station, torquing and/or crimping system, as well as labeling system. With four nozzles, two can fill product while the other two are being cleaned for the next product, resulting in efficient changeover.
-
Accurofill, an automatic volumetric piston filler capable of filling liquids, semi-viscous and viscous products, including creams, syrups, oils and more.
-
Bambino Arlecchino, a filling machine designed specifically for nail polish that operates at up to 40 bottles/min, with a servo-driven diving nozzle. The system is capable of inserting steel mixing balls, brushes and applying screw caps, and caps are protected from scratches by a Teflon coating.
