Newly designed NG Feeder continues Electro-mec success

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009 at 2:18 pm

TechnicalPharma has launched the newly designed NG Feeder to meet increasing market demand for the packing of multi-product blisters.

A recent study established that the new NG Feeder doubles the output of a blister line.

It draws on the success of the NG feeder range previously supplied by Electro-mec Ltd, a leading name in precision engineering for over four decades. TechnicalPharma acquired Electro-mec’s pharmaceutical interests in February 2009.

NG Feeder’s features

Designed on a modular basis, the new NG Feeder can be tailored to the precise combination of web width and draw of individual customers.

Its compact dimensions mean that up to three individual units can be installed and run side by side on a standard length blister machine. This allows fast and accurate filling of multi-product blisters, with individual control of each product.

Other advantages of the new NG Feeder include:

  • Touch screen controls on a pendant controller, so adjustments can be made during operation
  • No need to replace tooling — it accepts existing change part tooling (with adaptor plate)
  • All tooling is secured by pneumatic cylinders (more user friendly and practical)
  • Accepts existing EMF change parts and is cGMP compliant — no fasteners that can fall off
