ACG Launches Innovative Tablet Feeder


ACG Engineering, a division of ACG, a leading supplier of integrated manufacturing solutions to the global pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, unveiled its new ADAPT X feeder at CpHI & PMEC 2024 in Delhi.

Designed to handle complex and unusual tablet shapes, the ADAPT X feeder ensures flexibility for diverse packaging needs. Optimized for high-volume production, the feeder achieves speeds of 13.2 m/min on rotary sealing or 60 cycles per minute on intermittent machines.

Key Features of ADAPT X include:

  • Efficient handling of diverse tablet shapes and sizes: ranging from oblong convex to softgel capsules
  • Fast, tool-less changeovers: with just three lightweight, easy-to-disassemble format parts, changeovers are completed in as little as 15-20 minutes.
  • High-speed feeding: speeds up to 13.2 m/min on rotary sealing or 60 cycles per minute on intermittent machines.
  • Fully servo-controlled technology: Ensures precise movement and reliable performance for superior packaging outcomes.
