Capsule Filler Allows Multiple Configurations
The Planeta 200 Capsule Filler’s modular design can be configured for a variety of production requirements.
MG America’s Planeta 200 Capsule Filler produces up to 200,000 capsules per hour. Its modular design can be configured for a variety of production requirements, fitting several dosing units simultaneously and enabling one capsule to be filled with differing products. The filler reduces product waste and exposure to the greater processing environment.
The Planeta 200 also is scalable. It can be configured for medium speeds and upgraded later for maximum speeds, reaching different performance levels depending on the number and type of dosing units installed. Its weight control system also can be upgraded post-installation, including statistical control of capsule gross weight and the MultiNETT system, which allows in-process net weight checks of each capsule and each dosed product. Planeta 200 can also be equipped with isolators satisfying different containment levels and washing systems. MG America is showcasing the Planeta 200 at INTERPHEX 2016.
