Automation Q&A

  • Asked September 1st, 2010

    Response provided by Peter Buczynsky of Pharmaworks:

    It depends on the type of feeding system being used. Here are some specifics:

    Brush Box:
    · Cavity shape and orientation are extremely important.
    · Maintain the appropriate level of product in the box.
    · Use correct agitation speeds.
    Dedicated feeder:
    · Feeding tubes often get plugged, causing empty cavities. This is the responsibility of the feeder OEM to design these tubes optimally to avoid product shingling.
    · Maintain appropriate level.
