MG America, the U.S. subsidiary of MG2 of Bologna, Italy and a supplier of processing and packaging equipment, introduces its latest capsule filling solution at INTERPHEX Booth 2221. The Essentia Capsule Filler is a compact, versatile unit suitable for medium- to large-batch manufacturing whose small footprint and ergonomic design allow for minimal production floorspace allocation, easy cleaning and simplified maintenance, according to the company.
 
The Essentia Capsule Filler is capable of producing up to 100,000 capsules per hour, and can handle powder or pellet dosing, with quality assurance provided through statistical weight control (SWC) system. According to the company, operation is user-friendly, with fast changeover, intuitive recipe and parameters direction via a 15-inch human-machine interface (HMI), and comparably brief stoppages for cleaning and maintenance. 
 
“As the pharmaceutical manufacturing landscape continues to become more demanding and diversified, production equipment must provide speed, agility and ease of operation,” said Claudio Radossi, President of MG America. “The new Essentia Capsule Filler exemplifies these modern-day requirements, and we look forward to its premiere at INTERPHEX NYC.”
