MG America, the U.S. subsidiary of MG2 of Bologna, Italy, offers its next-generation PLANETA 200 Capsule Filler.
The PLANETA 200 Capsule Filler is the latest evolution in a line of continuous-motion machines. It produces up to 200.000 capsules/hr, but its primary advantage is its flexibility: its modular design results in a highly configurable platform suitable for an array of production requirements, including an ability to fit several dosing units simultaneously, enabling one capsule to be filled with different products.
Dosing units ascribe to a “no capsule, no dosage” concept, ensuringmachine cleaning as well as reduction of both product waste and its exposure to the greater processing environment.
The PLANETA 200 also is scalable in that it can initially be configured for medium speeds, then upgraded later for maximum speeds, reaching different performances depending on the number and type of dosing units installed.
Its weight control system also can be upgraded post-installation; this includes facets as simple as statistical control of capsule gross weight up to the highly advanced MultiNETT system, which allows in-process net weight checks of each capsule and, in the case of same-capsule dosing combinations each dosed product.
PLANETA 200 can be equipped with isolators satisfying different containment levels, as well as various washing systems ranging from Wet-In-Place to Wash/Clean-In-Place automatic systems (WiP/CiP).
