Auto-Print for Oral Solid Medications

Automated Packaging Process

The Auto-Print^TM packaging system operates as a complete pharmaceutical packaging solution that transforms bulk tablets and capsules into individually sealed unit doses. This advanced technology packaging machine uses a precision control system to ensure accurate dosing and proper sealing. The machine delivers exceptional production capacity with up to 60 packages per minute.

Step-by-Step Operation:

1. Medication Loading: Load bulk pills into the appropriate capsule tablet feed disk
2. Automated Dispensing: High speed dispensing system delivers one tablet or capsule per package
3. Sealed Design: Low-seal temperature create tamper-proof seals
4. Label Printing: Medication information and barcodes are printed directly on packages
5. Optional Verification Device:  Add-on component to verify barcode readability and package integrity

Equipment & Installation

Q: What space requirements does the pill packaging machine have? 

A: The Auto-Print^TM packaging machine requires a sturdy countertop 28-36 inches high with 18-inch depth and 4-5 feet of length. The equipment needs two 120V outlets and clearance of 18-24 inches above the counter. This compact design fits most existing pharmacy production 

Q: What production capacity can I expect from the packaging system? 

A: The standard packaging machine produces up to 60 packages per minute, while the Express 90 model reaches 90 packages per minute. This high speed production capacity eliminates manual packaging process bottlenecks and significantly improves pharmaceutical packaging efficiency.

Q: Does the machine meet GMP requirements for pharmaceutical manufacturing? 

A: Absolutely.Our products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. All materials are compliant with FDA regulations and meet USP standards for pharmaceutical packaging. Our quality control systems support regulatory inspections and documentation requirements.

Q: Can the machine package both tablets and liquid products? 

A: The Auto-Print^TM specializes in oral solid medication including tablets and capsules. For liquid product packaging, MPI offers separate filling machine solutions like the Fluidose system. Our main products line covers both solid and liquid pharmaceutical packaging needs.

Q: What materials does the packaging process require? 

A: The packaging machine uses MPI-certified consumable materials including SUPERTHERM® thermal paper, SUPERCEL® film, and SUPERFOIL® for moisture-sensitive medication. These materials meet industry standards and FDA requirements for packaging.
