pharmaceutical conveyor

Norpak offers options for the pharmaceutical sector.

Norpak Handling Limited supplies material-handling solutions for the pharmaceutical industry, which is especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic, when a healthy stock of pharmaceutical products is essential. Conveyors keep packaging and shipping operations safe and efficient in pharmaceutical plants, ensuring productivity while minimizing downtime. A recent blog post by the Norpak team discusses the most important criteria to consider when looking for the most appropriate pharmaceutical conveyor for these applications.

Proper support of smaller items

When conveyor manufacturers design solutions for this sector, they make the systems easy to clean and able to offer proper support of smaller items. They know that pharmaceutical facilities prefer to use conveyors that use plastic belts and chains that run on aluminum or powder-coated steel for increased support and safety.

Conveyors with plastic chains can be designed with narrow widths and fitted with adjustable side railings for higher stability for bottles or for cases carrying bottles in and around pill dispensers. A plastic-belt pharmaceutical conveyor provides extra stability because the surface of the belt offers additional friction for oddly shaped items. The user can integrate this conveyor into small areas around important equipment.

Among the benefits of these conveyors are low noise, long operational life, fewer problems with product orientation, consistent product position and integrity, and easy item tracking. These systems are available from Norpak in inclines, declines, and spirals to work with specific spatial requirements in a plant. It is wise to consult with the Norpak crew on space needs when selecting a pharmaceutical conveyor.

A frequently necessary process in the pharmaceutical sector is sorting. Operations often require sorts for empty or filled products, the latter including transporting polybags or cartons for completed orders for shipping to stores or customers. Norpak sorters come from manufacturers that promise accuracy in sorting and use the most recent technologies and control systems that come with major checking and confirmation capabilities.

To keep packaging and shipping applications going in the pharmaceutical sector, especially in unusual times like now, Norpak always makes sure to tailor its products and services to these customers’ needs.
