Sample Configuration:
Piston Filler → Auto Capper → Wrap-around Labeler → Accumulation Table
Components:
Peristaltic/piston fillers (±0.3% accuracy)
Top/side label applicators
Compact reject stations
+ 76% space reduction vs floor models
+ Integrated torque verification
+ Pharma-grade validation packages
- Competitors require separate cap orienters
When to Choose Benchtop Automation:
| Scenario | Benchtop Auto | Floor Model |
|---|---|---|
| Space <4m² | ✅ Ideal | ❌ Impossible |
| Output <6k BPH | ✅ Optimal | ⚠️ Overkill |
| Frequent SKU changes | ✅ Quick-change | ❌ Slow changeover |
| Budget <$35k | ✅ Cost-effective | ❌ 2-3× cost |
Plug-and-Play Setup:
Pre-configured for common caps (specify during order)
Operational in <1 hours
Upgrade Path:
Add vision inspection (+$6k)
Integrate with fillers via OPC-UA
Support:
