38 October 2017 Tablets & Capsules A survey of what's available tablet & capsule identification Tablet printers Printers isolate and align individual products as they leave feed hopper, placing them in carrier links for printing and inspection. Vacuum drum picks up and transfers on-spec tablets and allows off-spec tablets to fall into reject bin. Can- tilever multi-lane printer (left) with vision inspection handles 150,000 tablets per hour and quick changeover enables you to use it efficiently to print multiple different products. Printer with adjustable-angle ramp and multiple lanes (center) prints and inspects as many as 1 million tablets per hour. Single- lane VIP laser printer (right) features touch-screen that that allows you to set print placement. All printers can include IQ/OQ protocols. Ackley Machine, Moorestown, NJ. Tel. 856 234 3626 www.ackleymachine.com Printer with vision inspection Tabrex Rev printer uses digital inkjet printing to apply characters, numbers, logos and barcodes to one or both sides of coated and uncoated tablets and capsules. Thermal inkjet cartridges 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 identifies and diverts off-spec prod- ucts. In print and inspection mode, unit can handle 100,000 products per hour. Throughput doubles in inspection mode. You can design imprints using printer's software or create them offline and transfer them to unit via USB connection. Freund-Vector, Marion, IA. Tel. 319 377 8263 www.freund-vector.com Tablet and capsule printer/etcher Delta printer uses ink or laser to mark one or both sides of tablets and capsules.

Optional vision inspection system ver- ifies accuracy of printing/etching on each tablet/capsule. Sin- gle-tablet/capsule rejection ensures high-quality product at maximum output. Optional automatic cleaning system sim- plifies operation and maintenance. R.W. Hartnett, Philadelphia, PA. Tel. 215 969 9190 www.rwhartnett.com
