How Are Pharmaceutical Conveyors Used
During pharmaceutical production, conveyors are integral in safely transporting pharmaceuticals for manufacturing, packaging, and distribution.
A pharma conveyor belt must meet stringent sanitary requirements, typically set by governing bodies like the FDA, to ensure the safety of products within the facility. An ideal pharmaceutical belt conveyor will be easy to clean and help minimize cross-contamination of materials during transit from one area to another.
Dorner can provide conveyor solutions for pharmaceutical applications such as:
- Compressing pills
- High speed bottle filling
- Blister packaging
- Pill capping
- Off line inspections
- Sorting and grouping
- Product accumulation
- Rejecting and transfering
Contract packagers often fill different products on the same line. Preventing cross contamination between products and even batches is a requirement. Dorner offers the patented line of AquaPruf line of stainless steel conveyors when sanitary requirements are necessary.
Benefits of Dorner’s Pharmaceutical Industry Conveyors
In a facility that manufactures or packages pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals, you need conveyors that are durable, reliable, and sterile. Dorner’s solutions are designed to meet the highest industry standards to ensure your production line runs smoothly and safely.
Our pharmaceutical line conveyors also offer the following benefits:
Accurate Placement
Make your operation more efficient and streamlined with conveyor accessories that allow for precise placement on the belt as products move down the line. Position your products accurately on the belt for optimal sortation, inspection, and packaging.
Highly Sanitary Conditions
We offer numerous sanitary conveyor system options for varying pharmaceutical applications. From FDA-approved conveyor belts for our 1100 series to the AquaPruf series conveyors, designed for efficient and thorough sanitation processes, Dorner can provide a custom pharmaceutical conveyor that meets your unique sanitary needs.
Standardized Production
In the pharmaceutical industry, every product must meet the same high standards. Ensure the same level of quality and safety with every product that passes through your line with a custom pharmaceutical belt conveyor from Dorner.
Custom Conveyor Systems for Pharmaceutical Applications:
Whether you need to transport vials, bottles, or pills throughout the plant, Dorner has a conveyor solution that will fit your specific needs. Our custom design team can find the perfect configuration for your application.
We’ve designed conveyor systems for operations large and small, so no matter what type of manufacturing or packaging you need to do, our team can create the ideal solution.
We were tasked with developing a safe transportation system for fragile medical devices that couldn’t be placed directly on a conventional belt. To accomplish this, we integrated pallet conveyors with our highly-adaptable FlexMove system, resulting in an optimized, secure method for transporting these delicate products with the utmost efficiency and stability.
We’ve also created custom solutions for prescription mailing services, which require precision and operator interaction. To accomplish this, we combined the FlexMove with our 2200 series conveyors to create a pharmaceutical tote conveyor system that facilitated the proper sortation and packaging of medications for distribution.
