Accurate and easy to use automatic measuring of the weight of capsules or tables at a speed of up to 3000 pieces per hour. Ideal for R&D environments.

Accurate weight monitoring of your R&D capsuling or tableting process

The CW-30 automatic weight control unit from Dott. Bonapace is a single line unit which can operate as an independent machine equipped with a product feeding hopper or it can be directly linked to a capsule filling machine or a tablet press. In fact the capsules/tablets ejected through the outfeed chute are transferred through a vacuum pipe system connection directly into the vertical feeding pipe of the check weigher ready to be positioned into the scale.

The weighing process is controlled from a PLC, making it easy to set the weight required, the maximum weight tolerance, the minimum weight tolerance. You can also set the number of out of weight products (in %) after which the machine is stopped with alarm for excess of rejects. The CW-30 automatic weight control unit will memorize the number of products processed indicating also the number of rejected products.

Highest performance capsule filler for large volume production line

The Sejong Pharmatech F180 series is a high capacity capsule filling solution with cutting edge features that can operate at up to 184,000 units per hour.

The F180’s proprietary drive system has been designed to offer maximum speed and performance whilst minimizing maintenance through reduced vibration. In addition, the modular nature of the system allows for rapid and straightforward replacement of individual components, keeping downtime to a minimum.

Further innovation includes the provision of an automated capsule jam removal system. Using high pressure air, the machine can self-clear without the need for any disassembly, saving valuable time.

Because increased speed must not lead to a reduction in quality, the F180 is fitted with a 5 stage compression moulding system to ensure the optimum capsule fill even at highest speeds.

In addition, the comprehensive AWC (automatic weight control) functions reject any doses that are not filled within tolerance, as well as automatically rejected any faulty capsules that have not fully closed, or where the capsule sleeve has been damaged.

To meet your exact needs and offer full flexibility, the F180 is able to handle a wide variety of encapsulated dosage types, including powders, pellets and tablets. It can also fill capsules with a mixture of these doses, allowing scope for the production of a large number of products.
