Glenvale Packaging introduces MultiPharma V10 in the UK

A new, automatic capsule filling system produced by Italian manufacturer MultiPharma is now available exclusively in the UK from Glenvale Packaging.

The MultiPharma V10 system is the first new machine to be introduced into the UK since Northamptonshire-based Glenvale Packaging was appointed to distribute MultiPharma’s products.

The totally enclosed V10 system is suitable for handling potent products and can process up to 9,000 capsules/hr. It has a footprint of 90x110cm and, owing to fitted castors, can be moved around a production facility.

‘The design is ideal for handling hard shell capsules – both gelatine and vegetarian options,’ said Garry Coleman, partner at Glenvale Packaging.

‘It is supplied fully specified to handle the desired capsule size. Additional accessories can then also be fitted to accommodate size changes as needed.’

The unit only requires air and electrical connections and is operated by a touchscreen that can be positioned to suit the operator’s needs. The anodised, aluminium construction meets GMP regulatory requirements.

‘The V10 has already been proven in Europe,’ added Coleman. ‘It is suited to a range of applications – from clinical trials in the health industry through to small manufacturing operations.’
