Optional configuration of QUARCO PHARM & MEDICAL EQUIPMENT capsule filling machines:
- Ordering of rotary-plate oil-free Becker vacuum pump is recommended if there are no vacuum mains in the facility.
Main advantages of Becker pumps:
- Lubricants are not necessary during operation so the exhaust air does not contain oil vapors;
- The simplest maintenance;
- Long-term continuous operation;
- Delivery kit also includes the filter mounted at the vacuum pump inlet.
- Automatic vacuum powder loader enables to increase machine performance in filling of hard gelatin capsules, minimize raw material losses and provide continuous dosed supply of the material. At the same time, cleanness in room is kept and safety and production regulations are observed. Standard loader configuration includes a case made of stainless steel AISI304 and mesh filter, function of control over material level is also provided.
- Use of industrial vacuum cleaner provides mild working conditions for automatic capsule filling machine decreasing the risk of dusting in the cleanroom and machine working area.
- Capsule polisher is intended for polishing of hard gelatin capsules, removing powder film from capsule surface. To remove dust and burrs, capsule polisher is connected with vacuum cleaner. Capsule polisher also has an adjustable slope for ease of operation.
