Modu-C MS

Powerful at mid-speed: The versatile capsule filling machine in medium power range

Description

The Modu-C MS is especially designed for reliable and flexible capsule production. The patented trolley system allows a rapid change of the dosing systems for powder, pellets, tablets, mini tablets and liquid. The machine is impressive with its ease of use and minimum set-up and down times during format changes and cleaning.

Benefits
  • Flexible with replaceable dosing trolleys
  • PRP-function (Person reduced production)
  • Calibration bar to detect deformed capsules, exhaust function of deformed capsules, differential pressure measurement to inspect the presence of capsule bottoms, capsule closure inspection and single elimination of bad capsules.
  • Minimum set-up time
  • Easy operation and cleaning
  • Minimized product loss with No-Cap-No-Fill function

  • Video

    The Modu-C MS is a compact platform suitable for pharmaceutical applications for capsule production in the medium power range.

    All functions needed to produce capsule products are included in the Modu-C round motion unit: Opening and separating, filling, capsule capping and separating good and bad products.

  • Modu-C MS - Ejects non-separated capsules

    Ejects non-separated capsules and sucks them out.

  • Replaceable trolley for dosing of powder.

    Replaceable trolley with dosator. Ideal for the dosing of cohesive powders and powders with inferior flow characteristics.

  • The pellet station is ideal for all common pellet sizes.

    Replaceable trolley with pellet station. Ideal for all common pellets sizes with a high output. Integrated solutions to prevent bridge building and optimized product flow. Automatic adjustment of the fill volume via HMI or in-line or online system.

  • Micro-tablet station for precise dosing of up to four tablets in capsules.

    Replaceable trolley with micro-tablet station. Dosing of up to four different micro-tablets in one capsule – nondestructive and precise.

  • Replaceable trolley with liquid station.

    Replaceable trolley with liquid station. Thixotropic and hot-melting liquids are kept in continuous motion at constant temperature, even during machine standstill.

Machine features

Exchanging the dosing method by changing out the trolley: Short setup times and fast cleaning for efficiently producing pharmaceuticals.

Trolley concept

The patented dosing trolley system allows the operator to quickly change the dosing method: Whether powder, pellets, tablets, mini-tablets or liquid – the next dosing process is already set up. Short setup times, fast cleaning, maximum productivity. Plug-and-play options for the process change.

Process analysis during dosing serves as quality assurance when processing powders and other solid ingredients.

Capacitive weight inspection

Fastest process analytics through mass acquisition: The mass-specific AMV sensor allows for 100% inspection during the dosing of powders and pellets. The PAT method is independent of the target vessel.

Filling pharmaceutical solid ingredients in capsules requires precise dosing methods. A combination of up to three products is possible per capsule.

Combination filling

Various dosing systems allow combination fillings with up to three products such as powders, pellets, tablets, mini-tablets, powder blends, active ingredients or liquids. It is even possible to fill capsules into capsules.

The customer’s peripherals can be connected to the Harro Höfliger machines using standard network interfaces.

Peripheral network

Standard interfaces (MES, ActiveDirectory, OPC, …) allow the customer-specific peripherals to communicated with the IT network of the Harro Höfliger systems.
