cial ferrule, creating tight connection without using clamps
or tools, and detach easily for cleaning. You cut hole in caps
to match diameter of powder discharge chute. They are made
of translucent silicone, EPDM, or conductive EPDM materi-
als in diameters of 250, 315, 375, and 400 millimeters.

Printer with vision inspection
Tabrex Rev printer uses digital inkjet printing to apply char-
acters, numbers, logos and barcodes to one or both sides of
coated and uncoated tablets and capsules. Thermal inkjet car-
tridges ensure precise, clean, GMP-compliant printing while
eliminating rubber rolls and recirculating ink systems. Unit
also optically inspects 100 percent of product surface for
defects and print quality. Single-tablet rejection system iden-
tifies and diverts off-spec products. In print and inspection
mode, unit can handle 100,000 products per hour. Through-
put doubles in inspection mode. You can design imprints
using printer's software or create them offline and transfer
them to unit via USB connection. Company will exhibit
machine at Interphex in April 2018.
