To ensure that customers receive a quality capsule not only requires diligent manufacturing but also the highest quality control procedures throughout the process. If the final item is irregular in shape or form it can dramatically effect consumer confidence and eventually further sales.
Capsule sorting systems normally comprise labour intensive manual examination of the capsule flow or high cost, intricate, and difficult to clean machinery.
Farleygreene were faced with this problem from one of their major pharmaceutical customers who had experienced difficulties in increasing their throughput rate in line with the demand for their quality products. A revised method of sorting was the objective, ensuring strict maintenance of size and shape but increasing speed of selection of rejects, faster throughputs and quicker clean down periods between products.
Using the Sievmaster Segregator rectangular vibratory sieving/feeder unit from the range, a very special unit was devised to meet all the criteria set. Using computer aided manufacturing for high tolerance component manufacture, the machine evolved with special undersize and oversize capsule selector sorting beds, providing easy cleaning and simple changing when sorting different sized capsule batches.
The machine can also be supplied with an automatic vacuum feed arrangement to provide remote filling of the sorter bulk hopper. Each machine is also provided with a full control system mounted within the mobile frame.
