Apotex: Tablet and capsule filling for pharmaceutical bottles

Side-by-side Cremer CF-1220 tablet/capsule fillers gently vibrate solid-dose pills or tablets along multiple channels of horizontally positioned vibratory trays.

Sep 11, 2006
Pills then drop through two funnels—one for each of two lines—into bottles that are conveyed single-file under the funnels. Each of the two units fills 60 bottle/min, 120/min combined. The Cremer units used by Apotex were distributed through NJM/CLI.
