Quay Pharma, an outsourcing service provider for the development and testing of pharmaceutical products, has chosen Isopak's BD 3000 capsule banding and sealing machine.
The purchase complements the company's existing In-Cap capsule filling equipment also from Isopak.
"Isopak delivered exactly what was needed in both capacity and cost," said Quay Pharma's production manager Robin Haynes. "Some other suppliers we considered could not meet our output criteria. The BD 3000 can handle 3,000 capsules per hour which is the volume we required and of course it complements the In-Cap filling machine they had already supplied us with."
Isopak's range of capsule fillers and sealers from Italian manufacturer Dott Bonapace are ideal for liquid capsules, but they also have the flexibility to be used on products which could be in powder or pellet form.
The BD 3000 capsule banding machine is fully automatic yet compact enough to allow for bench mounting while being easy to use, simple to strip down and clean yet quick to change from running one sized capsule to another by means of specific change parts.
