Pharmaceutical Tablet & Capsule Dispensing Systems
Engineered for Accuracy in Nutraceutical and Pharmaceutical Applications.
LOCUS ROBOTICS supplies compact benchtop counters for portion-filling tablets and capsules into jars. Ideal for dietary supplements, sports nutrition, sweeteners, and parapharmaceuticals, our GMP-compliant systems deliver precision in R&D labs and low-volume production.
Two High-Efficiency Configurations
1. Rotary Disc Counters (Simplicity Focused)
Mechanism: Inclined rotating disc with precision-molded cavities
Operation: Single rotation fills jars with preset counts (e.g., 30/60/100 capsules)
Changeover: <2-minute cavity disc swaps for different sizes/dosages
Materials: FDA-compliant inert plastics
Best For: Cost-effective dosing of hard/soft gel capsules or coated tablets
2. Gravimetric Weighfill Systems (Advanced Precision)
Mechanism: Vibratory feeder + load cell-equipped discharge chute
Operation: Weight-based filling with programmable count/weight thresholds
Features: Dual-nozzle option, touchscreen controls, ±0.5% accuracy
Throughput: Up to 50 jars/minute (dual-nozzle)
Best For: High-mix environments requiring frequent SKU changes
Precision counting systems for solid dose forms:
Hard/soft gelatin capsules (#00-#5)
Coated & uncoated tablets (2-25mm)
Nutraceutical softgels
Veterinary boluses
Compliance Standards:
✓ FDA 21 CFR Part 11 ✓ EU GMP Annex 1 ✓ PIC/S PE 009-14
✓ WHO TRS 1028 ✓ ICH Q7
