Client: PharmaCare Laboratories

Location: Toronto, Canada

Industry: Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Challenge: PharmaCare needed to upgrade its tablet packaging line to meet increasing demand while maintaining precision and compliance with strict regulatory standards (e.g., FDA, Health Canada). Their existing semi-automatic equipment caused bottlenecks, with a throughput of only 50 bottles/minute and occasional filling inconsistencies.

Solution:

PharmaCare partnered with Jerry Packaging Technology to install a fully automated rotary tablet filling machine featuring:

• High-Speed Performance: 200 bottles/minute capacity.

• Accuracy: ±1% weight variation, tablet filling machine with integrated checkweighers and rejection systems.

• Flexibility: Quick changeover between tablet shapes/sizes (from 3mm to 15mm).

• GMP Compliance: Stainless steel construction, dust-proof design, and data logging for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

Results:

• Productivity Boost: Output increased by 300%, eliminating backlog.

• Waste Reduction: Inaccurate fills dropped to <0.5%, saving $120,000/year in material costs.

• Regulatory Readiness: Streamlined audits with automated production reports.

"The new tablet filling machine transformed our packaging line. We’ve scaled production without compromising quality."
