Case Study: an OEM end customer in the US achieves gentle, reliable tablet conveying with Piab piFLOW®t and piGENTLE®

OEM End Customer Located in the US conveys 100,000 tablets per hour with Piab

Piab worked with an OEM end customer located in the US that required a future-proof conveying system to gently load small aspirin tablets into a capsule filling machine without causing damage. The challenge was to convey 105mg tablets at a rate of 100,000 per hour over a 5-meter distance, as any damage would halt the entire dosing system.

Piab implemented its piFLOW®t conveyor with the piGENTLE® accessory, which controlled the tablets' speed to prevent damage and jamming. This solution resulted in a highly reliable, plug-and-play system that minimized scrap and increased productivity for the customer. Piab provided an optimal and future-proof system that would not require fine-tuning even if tablet hardness changed.
