Capsule filler allows multi-product dosing Planeta 200 continuous-motion capsule filler produces as many as 200,000 capsules per hour. Modular configuration accommo- dates several dosing units simultaneously, enabling it to fill one capsule with different products. "No capsule, no dose" operation reduces waste and cleaning time. Capsule filler is scalable and allows you to upgrade to higher speed, to statistical weight con- trol, and to more advanced MultiNETT system that allows in- process net weight checks of each capsule and—in the case of same-capsule dosing combinations—each dosed product. Options include isolators geared to containment level your process requires and wet-in-place and clean-in-place automatic washing systems. MG America, Fairfield, NJ.

Its single primary filter, which is cleanable, eliminates frequent, costly replace- ments. Compact unit—49 inches wide, 42 inches deep, and 87 inches high—saves space and can attain NFPA's highest explo- sion protection rating, allowing you to install it indoors without adding explosion safety devices. Indoor installation also mini- mizes long runs of ductwork. High-efficiency pleated filter comes in a conductive nano-fiber or PTFE media, both of which readily release dust and maximize service life of second-stage HEPA H14-rated filter. Optional bag-in/bag-out system protects workers from hazardous dust and prevents cross-contamination. Camfil APC, Jonesboro, AR. Tel. 870 933 8048 www.camfilapc.com Pressure compensation system improves feeder accuracy EPC electronic pressure compensation system improves accu- racy of loss-in-weight feeders by detecting change in hopper air pressure and sending data to feeder control module, which adjusts weight signal. System is more reliable and accurate than traditional mechanical compensation. It is also easier to install, costs less, and can be retrofit. Sensors install on feeder hopper and, if required, on material discharge tube. Software implements self-optimizing compensation algorithm to opti- mize performance. Alarm will signal if pressure fluctuation exceeds 50 millibars. Coperion K-Tron, Salina, KS. Tel. 785 825 1611 www.coperionktron.com 52 April 2016 Tablets & Capsules
