Electro-Mec Introduces Next Generation Feeder

Electro-mec has launched a new generation of its market leading EMF tablet and capsule blister pack feeder.  The new model, the NG, is capable of meeting increasing demand for the packing of multi-product blisters and features a number of enhancements for even more accurate and faster handling of a wide variety of products.

The NG has been designed on a modular basis, enabling the machine to be tailored to the precise combination of web width and draw of individual customers.

Its more compact dimensions mean that up to three individual units can be installed side by side on a single standard bed length blister machine.  This allows fast and accurate filling of multi-product blisters, with individual control of each product.  In addition, the NG is also compatible with continuous motion blister machines.

The latest model retains Electro-mec’s pioneering ‘individual feed’ technology, with separate feeder tubes that dose a single tablet or capsule into the blister form per cycle.  This enables accurate positioning of the product into each form for fast filling speeds, and also prevents shingling, chipping and damage caused by collision with other tablets.  The feed tubes in the NG now feature a helical design which eliminates the possibility of tube jams with “shingle prone” products.
