Sorting and distribution system for the pharmaceutical industry EPS

capsuletablet

Overview The Euro Pallet System (EPS) drum loading diverter directs tablet and capsule output into up to 12 drums according to production quantity, driven by a tablet press counter, volumetric sensor or weighing system. The unit is designed for pharmaceutical production areas with options for enhanced containment.

Key benefits

• Extends unattended manufacturing time through automated drum distribution
• Reduces manual handling inside the production area
• Improves factory throughput and process efficiency
• Minimises operator contact with APIs

Features The EPS drum loading centre provides adjustable dropping heights for tablets and capsules and flexible indexing to accommodate different drum layouts. Operator interaction inside the controlled area is minimised to reduce cross-contamination risk. Optional jam detection prevents blockages and unplanned downtime. The frame includes hydraulic cylinders for fast height adjustment to optimise drum positioning and save floor space. The standard design is dust-tight; Containment ≤ OEB4 and High Containment ≤ OEB5 washable variants are available for higher safety requirements.
