Pharmaceutical & Medical

Case Study Highlights

Products/Parts

Pharmaceutical caps

Solution

Vibratory Feeder & Precision Edge Roller Conveyor (Dorner ERT150®)

System Components

Inline Horizontal Track, Return Roller Conveyor, & Integrated Controls

Rate

240 PPM per line

Situation

This application required a complete system to feed, orient, and deliver pharmaceutical caps for the filling process—starting from bulk product and ending with properly oriented caps ready for use. A vibratory feeder bowl and inline horizontal track were used to manage orientation, with the system delivering a high throughput of 240 parts per minute per line.

Results

The final system delivered efficient, high-speed part handling with consistent orientation and minimal downtime. The use of the Dorner ERT150® Precision Edge Roller Conveyor and a return roller conveyor from Hoosier Conveyor Company helped streamline cap delivery while maintaining productivity standards critical in pharmaceutical applications.
