Multi Channel tablet counters offer the extreme accuracy of count, easy changeover, and the speeds required for today's demanding pharmaceutical and nutraceutical requirements. Soft gels, capsules and tablets of all shapes and sizes can be filled accurately with channel counters. Available in 12 channel increments with production speeds of fifty bottles per minute per 12 channels is possible. Changeovers and cleanup can be completed in less than 15 minutes without the use of tools. Store up to 50 product counts and settings into memory for instant startup.

Flexible Packaging machinery also encompasses a wide array of products and industries but the common characteristic is that the package is soft (flexible) such as bags, pouches, drink cartons and other collapsible type of containers. Generally it means the container is formed from a single or double web and that it is also filled and sealed during that same process. Vertical Form Fill and Seal (VFFS) is the most common type of machine used. You see its products in the form of snack packages, lotion samplers, loose candies, nuts, powdered goods (often inserted into cartons as in cereals, brown sugar, etc.), and even parts like bolts or other hardware items. Another common type of flexible packaging machine is the horizontal flow wrapper. Horizontal flow wrappers are used to package solid products individual packages like candy bars, health food bars, brownies, or even packages holding a notepad or electronic parts. There are horizontal pouch machines that also work from a continuous web as well as specialty resealable standup pouches that are preformed individually and then loaded onto the filling and sealing machine from a magazine feed. Whatever your need for flexible packaging equipment, Busch Machinery more than likely has the machine you need. Give our staff a call today or send us an email. We are here to serve you!

Random case sealers are used when each box size can vary randomly, such as in order picking warehouses. In this situation the carton sealer automatically adjusts to the size of the box as presented. Random box sealing machines run much slower than Uniform case sealers and cost quite a bit more, due to the extra mechanisms and time required so that the machine can self-adjust to the carton size.

Busch Machinery carries several types of capping equipment including cap tighteners, automatic screw cappers, ROPP cappers, snap cappers and lidding machines. Inline screw capping machines are among the most popular models we sell because they are generally easy to changeover without the need for expensive change parts. However chuck cappers offer much better torque consistency and can be configured for high speed rotary capping applications. Oftentimes our customers purchase cap tighteners for retorquing caps after induction sealing (which tends to loosen caps), or for various specialty caps like trigger sprayers or pump spray assemblies. ROPP capping machines use a blank shell and knurl the threading onto the cap after application to the bottle with special chucks that run the threads on the cap while rotating around it.

Pressure filling machines are characterized by the fact that product is pumped directly from the supply tank into the bottle which than fills to the set level and then overflows back into the tank. Upon completion of the fill cycle the pump is turned off, allowing the remaining excess product to drain back to the tank, and in the case of many plastic bottles, to allow the swelled bottle to relieve the built up pressure. The big advantage of using a pressure filler is that it fills to a liquid level in the bottle as opposed to dispensing an exact volume as with a piston filler. Since bottles often vary somewhat volumetrically, a liquid level filler allows bottles on the shelf to look uniformly filled, even with slight variation of fill volume. An overflow filler works great with pure liquids, lotions and shampoos so long as they do not contain particulates. Great for water bottling, non-carbonated beverages, lotions, shampoos and a wide variety of other products. Pressure filling machines can be configured for inline filling up to 12 heads, or as rotary filling head for higher speed operations up to 72 heads.

Case Erectors form up boxes from the lay flat position and close and seal the bottom flaps of the carton with tape or optionally with hot melt glue. Most often they are used in conjunction with automatic case packers (below) but can also be used for hand packing products into the box. A case erecting machine can be made in several formats including vertical and horizontal depending on which configuration is best suited for the product that will be inserted. Case Packers Case Packing machines are available from for a wide range of packaged products and manufactured goods. Models are available for horizontal, vertical and robotic case packing. Examples of the types of goods that can be automatically packed in boxes are bottles, cans, shelving units, bags such as snack foods, TV's, sewing machines, cabinets, and really almost anything packed in a carton. There are numerous ways to accomplish these applications and the best way to discover your options is to call us at 800-840-9573 (US) or 520-777-3360 (Intl). Palletizing Equipment Once your products are ready for shipment the next step in automation is an automatic palletizer. Palletizers are available in several formats depending on your specific application ranging from low table to high table styles or in some cases robotic. Palletizers are capable of more than just loading boxes onto pallets but can also load large bulk bags, tires, cabinets or many other products. Again the options are many, so we recommend that you call or email us about your specific application.
