Deitz Company introduced the Pharmafill™ CS2 to its line of automated cotton inserters.

Deitz Company introduced the Pharmafill™ CS2 to its line of automated cotton inserters. The new device comes with a higher speed configuration that increases its filling rate to 90 inserts per minute compared to its standard configuration of 80 inserts per minute, a 12.5% increase.

The updated inserter separates cotton, rayon, and polyester from a continuous coil into individual pieces that are then inserted through three-inch long tubes that can accommodate cotton pieces from 2.0–5.5 inches in length, which then release the pieces downstream while preparing to fill the next bottle. The device is computer-controlled, delivers 99.99% insertion accuracy, and automatically stops the process if the cotton roll is ready for replacement or if no bottle is present.
