RxPak: Special lift automatically fills overhead hopper
On this prescription drug repackaging line, the Swiftlift, supplied by Swiftpack Automation, another DT Industries division, is a bucket mounted on a vertical shaft.
The bucket receives tablets from a floor-level hopper whenever a photocell signals that tablets are needed. The bucket then rises quickly to replenish the overhead hoppers above two electronic tablet counters.
