Almac Adds Blistering Equipment at US HQ

Almac has boosted its clinical trial services capabilities at its North American headquarters in Souderton, PA with a pair of acquisitions. The company has added new PharmaWorks TF3 high-speed, large-format blister equipment and a Bosch GKF 702 over-encapsulation machine.
 
Features of the TF3 include a 220mm x 290mm form area, color vision system, automated seal registration, and a programmable punch station. The machine is equipped with an automated feeder that can accommodate the input of as many as four different products (tablets or capsules) simultaneously. It is capable of speeds averaging 50 indexes per minute and provides convenient tool-less changeovers.
 
“The purchase of the PharmaWorks TF3 machine will allow Almac to fulfill our customer’s needs by increasing our blistering capacity,” said Dan Megill, director of operations at Almac. “This machine offers leading functionality and supplies Almac with a highly flexible format to support our various clients and their packaging needs.”
