MG2: 50 years of evolved solutions

Particularly significant MG2’s taking part at Pharmintech (Hall 19, stand C31A), this year the company is celebrating its 50th anniversary since its founding (see ItaliaImballaggio n.3/2016) and will be bringing its latest developments in pharmaceutical packaging to the fair.

MG Compact will be the standard bearer of MG2 continuous motion capsule fillers dedicated to production. Featuring a small footprint and a modular conception, it an reach a production speed up to 48.000 capsules per hour; it is conceived for companies requiring medium speed solutions.
Very significant is going to be the presence of AlternA70N, reengineering of the first MG2 intermittent motion capsule filler. Introduced in the Process Division’s range in 2007, these intermittent motion solutions combine the basic principles of MG2 philosophy (flexibility, performances and reliability) with the ease of use and great sturdiness.

Last - as for dimensions - but not least for performances, a FlexaLAB will be on show; this machine is very popular among R&D laboratories and companies requiring automated productions in spite of small batches. In fact, MG2 models for laboratories share the same working principles of capsule fillers for production; moreover, they are used by structures such as the Research Center of Pharmaceutical Engineering (RCPE) in Graz, which in cooperation with MG2 is carrying out advanced studies concerning the characterisation of powders for encapsulation. It is a highly evolved project, arisen from the need of some Big Pharma companies, aiming at developing a predictive model suitable to help customers in the optimisation of the dosing process of their products.
The showcase portfolio will be completed by ACE BT/300, track&trace unit for bottles.
