Strong reduction of chipping
tablets by using our piFLOW®t tablet conveyor with pre-separator
Background
A large German company in
the pharmaceutical industry was having problems with the conveying of
paracetamol tablets for some time. There was very frequent chipping of the
tablets during the conveying process, which led to a high degree of
dissatisfaction among the end users.
In addition, manual
transfer by hand into the transport container as well as filling the funnel of
the blister packaging machine resulted in an accumulation of dust.
Solution
The use of piFLOW®t
tablet conveyor with
pre-separator ensures a gentle introduction of the tablets into the conveyor.
Thanks to a controlled, low and constant speed and the elimination of all sharp
edges, the piFLOW®t vacuum conveyor, together with the piGENTLE™
control system, transports the tablets without damaging them.
Result
The customer is
enthusiastic about the Piab solution. Through the use of the piFLOW®t tablet
conveyor, the tablets can be transported more product-friendly, resulting in a
considerable reduction of scrap products.
The compact design as well
as the easy cleanability of the piFLOW®t also convinced the customer.
Furthermore, dust
accumulation has been reduced to such an extent that there is no longer any
contamination at the production sites and in the blister packs.
