Pharmaceutical container handling systems for bottles and containers
Pharma Packaging Systems provides a complete range of pharmaceutical container handling systems to support integrated line performance and ensure smooth, efficient packaging operations. From product feed to container indexing, our handling systems are engineered to complement our counters with seamless operation, high accuracy, and full cGMP compliance.
Feeding, Indexing and Transfer Systems
Solutions for feeding, transporting, and positioning
We offer a variety of solutions for feeding, transporting, and positioning tablets, capsules, bottles, and containers of all sizes and formats. These systems are designed to work as standalone units or as fully integrated components within high-speed production lines, helping to maintain throughput and eliminate bottlenecks.
Our container handling equipment includes bottle unscramblers, rotary tables, powered conveyors, gating systems, and servo-driven scroll feeders. These ensure precise indexing of containers into and out of the counting area, allowing for synchronised filling, rejection, and downstream packaging processes. Each system is adjustable for various bottle heights and diameters and is built for quick changeovers with minimal operator intervention.
For product handling, we provide a full range of tablet elevators, vibratory feeders, and bulk hoppers that gently and consistently feed solid dose products into the counting system. Options include dust extraction, anti-static solutions, and product declumpers to maintain consistent feed and reduce downtime.
