Case Study: a US OEM end customer achieves gentle, future-proof tablet conveying with Piab piFLOW®t and piGENTLE®

a US OEM end customer conveys 100,000 tablets per hour with Piab

Piab worked with an OEM in Italy whose US-based end customer required a future-proof conveying system for a capsule filling machine. The challenge was to gently and automatically convey 100,000 fragile aspirin tablets per hour over a 5-meter distance without causing any damage, which would otherwise halt the dosing system.

Piab implemented its piFLOW®t conveyor with the piGENTLE® accessory, a solution proven during trials to be far superior and more reliable than other techniques. For the end customer, the system was easy to set up and operated as a plug-and-play unit. The solution from Piab minimized scrap, increased productivity, and provided a future-proof system that could handle tablets of varying hardness without needing fine-tuning.
