Fully automated Tub Loading and Capping Line

A fully automated tub loading and capping line, handling two streams of tablets directly from a tablet press, increases throughput by over 200%. The system includes an Empty Tub Buffer Conveyor, Automatic Lane Divert, High-Speed Counting Units, and De-Dusting for efficient handling of up to 2,000 tablets per minute.

Tekpak’s fully automated tub loading and tub capping line is designed to handle two streams of tablets directly from a tablet press machine, significantly increasing throughput by over 200% for the client. This comprehensive system efficiently manages the entire packaging process, ensuring smooth and precise handling of up to 2,000 tablets per minute.

The system includes an empty tub buffer conveyor with a storage capacity of 15-20 tubs, allowing manual loading and automatic handling from that point onward. The Automatic Lane Divert System directs empty tubs to the correct stream, while the Tablet Receiving System manages a maximum rate of 1,000 tablets per discharge from two exit points. The line integrates Tekpak De-Dusting units for each tablet stream, High-Speed Servo Controlled Counting units, and a Tub Loading System for efficient and accurate tablet handling.

Once filled, the tubs move through a Tub Elevation and Lidding System for secure sealing, followed by Tablet and Tub Transfer Conveyors that ensure continuous product flow. The system is completed with a manual or automatic Case Packing Station for final packaging. This solution is ideal for pharmaceutical manufacturers looking to boost productivity and streamline their operations with a high-speed, fully automated tub loading and capping line.
