The new Pharmafill BCV1 Bottomless Conveyor from packaging machinery manufacturer Deitz Co. in Wall, NJ, enables serial numbers, lot codes, and other markings to be easily printed on the bottoms of plastic and glass bottles without requiring the bottles to be slowed, stopped, rotated, diverted or otherwise disrupted from their flow in the packaging line.
Ideal for nutritional supplement bottles, pharmaceuticals, and other products where identification and/or traceability are required or desired, the innovative BCV1 Bottomless Conveyor accepts containers from a standard conveyor that drops out from under the bottles as dual side belts gently grip and convey the bottles over a laser marking device, thermal inkjet printer, continuous inkjet printer, or other coding system. When marked, the BCV1 Bottomless Conveyor releases the bottle to the next stage in the packaging line.
