Premixed Powder Loading System for the Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Industries

Automatic pneumatic conveying from mixer to packaging machine without segregation or product alteration.

Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production

The project was developed for a leading Italian company producing pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and cosmetics.

The requirement was to automate the transfer of premixed pharmaceutical and nutraceutical powders from the mixer discharge to the loading hopper of a stick-pack packaging machine. The previously installed system, provided by an international competitor, had several functional issues that directly affected overall production efficiency.

Automation and product integrity

The existing system was unable to ensure the stability of the production process. The main issues included:

  • Reliability: recurring operational problems and difficulties in daily use.
  • Mix Quality: high risk of product alteration or demixing during transfer.
  • Performance: inefficiencies in achieving the required hourly throughput required by the stick pack packaging line.
    In the pharmaceutical industry, it is essential to ensure the absence of segregation and the maintenance of morphological characteristics, while also ensuring ease of disassembly for sanitization procedures.

TECH.280P pneumatic conveyor

Delfin has provided a TECH280P pneumatic conveyor, specifically designed for the controlled transfer of premixed powders:

  • Full integration: easy replacement of the previous system and perfect interchangeability with the existing line.
  • 24/7 operation: designed for continuous operation 7 days a week without any performance drops.
  • Product integrity: smooth transfer without morphological changes or segregation of the mixture’s components.
  • Hygiene and footprint: compact design with a quick-release system for effective cleaning between batch changes.

Efficiency and segregation

  • Continuous automation: constant feeding of the stick pack packaging line without the need for manual intervention.
  • Zero downtime: elimination of critical issues from the previous system and improved operational reliability.
  • Guaranteed integrity: perfect preservation of the premixed blend from source to destination.
  • Time optimization: extreme simplification of routine use and maintenance activities.
