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.
