US Capsule Filling Systems Receive Significant Interest from European Market

Riva Europe is a European distributor of the US ProFiller handheld and benchtop capsule filling systems, which are steadily gaining in popularity. ProFiller systems are suitable for R&D, clinical trials, hospital dispensaries, pharmacy compounding, nutritional supplements and over-encapsulation. They are ideal for new or hard-to-fill formulations and natural products as lubricants and other additives are not required.

Powders, granules and liquids for stability studies may be filled using the ProFiller. Fill weights meet USP/EP standards. One hundred-hole and 300-hole systems can be used under a powder hood or in a glove box. The optional powder vibrator is useful for reducing weight variation and filling powders that bridge or are granular, fluid or flour-like. Accessories include over-encapsulation parts for tablets, capsules and caplets.

ProFiller systems are available in 100 to 300 holes in capsule sizes 000-5, 00el-2el and AAA-D. All systems are fully equipped for one capsule size and include an orienter, filler, tamper, powder spreader, powder tray with reservoir and video CD.

Handheld systems include an exclusive capsule locker and powder tray clamps to prevent powder loss. Benchtop systems have these features inbuilt. Capsule size change parts snap-in and require no adjustments. Change parts are common for all 300-hole systems, allowing for an easy upgrade from handheld to benchtop. All powder contact parts are SS316 (Inox) or food certified plastics for high GMP and easy cleaning. Validation packages are available.

ProFillers include a variety of patented features that reportedly make them the fastest and easiest 100-hole to 300-hole filling systems on the market. A full line of accessories and demonstration videos are available at www.profiller.com.
