Adjustable Angle Ramp Printer

Rotogravure Printing System for Tablets & Capsules

This high-output precision printing system uses edible inks to place logos onto pharmaceutical and confectionery products. Features an adjustable Ramp Feed Angle to optimize feed based on product flow characteristics. Bulk product is fed into the hopper, where each product is efficiently singulated and gravity-fed into carrier bar pockets for precise positioning. The continuous motion, multiple-lane carrier bar conveyor feed system exposes the top surface for inspection and printing. Requires compressed air, power & vacuum for operation.
