Almac has acquired two new pieces of encapsulation equipment at its North American headquarters in Souderton, PA.

 

The Bosch GKF 702 capsule filler with integrated KKE 1700 checkweigher gives added value to the array of over-encapsulation capabilities offered by the company.

 

The Bosch cGMP-compliant system is able to produce 42,000 capsules per hour compared with the 2,700-4,500 output of Almac’s current machine in the US.  Further capabilities of the new equipment include powder, pellet, tablet and placebo fill as well as multi-fill. The addition now creates balance between Almac’s EU and US sites by providing the same capacity to handle large and smaller scale projects simultaneously.
