Tablets & Capsules September 2016 63 Tablet deduster accepts variety of metal detectors Model KD6015 vertical tablet deduster conveys as many as 3.5 million tablets per hour while elevating them 250 to 500 millimeters; it also accepts capsules. Ceia, Lock, or Safeline metal detector (photo, upper left) is optional. Dust agitation, vibration, and vacuum improve dedusting and deburring of tablets and capsules. C820 controller with integral accelera- tion sensor maintains steady flow of tablets under varying loads. Orientation of flexible inlet and outlet adjusts easily to suit your application. Company offers engineering and design assistance, as well as custom units that convey tablets faster, over longer distances, and/or within high-containment enclosures. Kraemer US, Allendale, NJ.

Compact unit also conserves floor space and decreases initial cost. Its "dropout zone" pre-sepa- rates large dust particles, reduces pressure drop, and minimizes filter abrasion. Max- Pulse cleaning system uses double- diverging pulse nozzle that shapes air to match shape of filter, delivering 27 per- cent more energy to media to ensure effective cleaning. Triagonal cartridges have more filter media at bottom than round cartridges and thus direct more dust toward collection hopper. Asym- metrical yokes ensure cartridges are sealed and aligned properly for cleaning. Ultra-Web nanofiber media uses layer of fibers 0.2 to 0.3 micron in diameter to surface-capture contaminants smaller than 1 micron. Donaldson Torit, Minneapolis, MN.

It quickly disperses fine and lightweight particles in liquids to achieve optimal distribution. It also han- dles temperature-sensitive products gen- tly and efficiently to prevent overheat- ing. Mixers are for use in labs and production settings and can include heating, cooling, and vacuum processes. Company offers range of mixing tools to suit your application. Netzsch, Exton, PA. Tel. 800 676 6455 www.netzsch.com Cold laser marks tablets, capsules, softgels Ultraviolet (UV) cold laser marker imprints high-resolution markings on as many as 250,000 tablets, capsules, or softgels per hour. It also marks capsules and sofgels. UV laser activates titanium dioxide pigment to etch image on product surface, even if wet or oily, and does not affect product integrity. Indelible, tamper-proof text, barcodes, and graphics facilitate serialization of single doses as well as batches and do not fade or degrade. Cold laser can mark surface through clear window of sealed blister packs. Company offers DQ, IQ, and OQ validation; controls comply with 21 CFR Part 11. Tri-Star Technologies, El Segundo, CA.
