Ackley - Adjustable Angle Ramp Printer for Pharmaceutical Products
Ackley's Adjustable Angle Ramp Printer is a high-output precision offset printing system specifically designed for printing on pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and confectionery products. It accommodates products of various shapes and sizes, using edible inks to apply logos. The printer features an adjustable Ramp Feed Angle, optimizing product flow based on individual product characteristics. Products are fed into a hopper, singulated, and gravity-fed into carrier bar pockets for precise positioning. This design leverages a continuous motion, multi-lane carrier bar for effective inspection and printing. The machine requires compressed air, power, and vacuum for operation, allowing for easy changeovers between different products. It is suitable for large-scale production environments and offers optional ink maintenance and vision inspection systems. All operations comply with the stringent regulations of the FDA and CGMP, ensuring quality and safety throughout the production process.
