Numerous processes can be integrated on the FOT oval motion machine platform. In addition to assembly and inspection processes, the assembly machine can be expanded to include dosing stations for powder, pellets or liquids, etc. So, even more complex pharmaceutical products with a large number of individual parts can be assembled – especially reservoir DPIs. Barrier technology allows for the use of a clean room.

Machine features
Parts handling
Components are automatically taken out using vacs, grippers or tongs and accurately transferred. This can be performed in a linear or swivel movement. To increase the output, these systems can be set up at multiple locations so as to perform loading and unloading tasks at the same time.
Reservoir filling
Some dry powder inhalers include a powder reservoir for a pre-defined number of dosages. Generally, the defined quantity of active ingredients is filled using an auger filler. Several filling spaces can be integrated to increase the output.
