Pharma Packaging Systems, a specialist in the design and manufacture of electronic tablet/capsule counting machines, is deploying the latest PRT2 precision rings and GV3 linear slides from HepcoMotion for a new counting machine featuring a tare gross weighing system. The HepcoMotion products were selected for their accuracy and performance, factors that have been proven at Pharma Packaging for a decade or more.

The demand for the new PC180 counting machine arrived at Pharma Packaging via an application based on substitute narcotic tablets for a pharmaceutical customer in the USA. The system had to be capable of 200 bottles per minute, so it’s configured in such a way that three containers are filled, weighed, and checked simultaneously. “But the overriding priority is accuracy, as we are dealing with a very important pharmaceutical application. We have used HepcoMotion products since our inception. Their products are accurate and perform well—in 11 years we’ve not had a failure, so why change?”
