Automatic Tablet Printer

Product introduction

Printing International is specialized in the manufacturing of printing machines for the pharmaceutical industry. Not only the medical products itself but also their packaging can be printed with our technology in printing.

There is a standard range of several models for printing tablets, soft gelatine capsules, hard gel caps, freezedried products (lab scale machine and other models for one-side or double-sided printing with or without inline inspection). For the packaging (blister, foil, etc…) we can build a machine accordingly your needs (a stand-alone type or a linear component of your overall concept) based on a combination of various technologies.

It is logic that for the pharma division all our machines are built following the cGMP-5 rules. In our validation package we offer FDA certificates of the used materials. The software is based on the guidelines of the GAMP normalisation and is in compliancy with “21 CFR, part 11”. The printing pads are also FDA approved.

The tablet printing machine is designed for one or double-sided printing in one or several colours.
* All forms of tablets, soft & hard gels, caplets can be printed.
* In function of tablet size and shape, the printing capacity is 100 000 - 400 000 pieces/hr.
