2 Optimized productivity through automation The GKF 2500 series of machines with automatic troubleshooting system (ASB) ensures optimized productivity and pharmaceutical security for the filling of capsules. Versions GKF 2500 ASB, GKF 2500 ASB IPK or GKF 2500 ASB 100 %. 2

3 GKF 2500 ASB 100% with online weight control and optional tablet station The high degree of automation ensured by ASB provides for smooth production processing and ensures optimized productivity with minimum downtimes. The GKF 2500 ASB IPK with in-process control makes it possible for you to perform weight control by way of statistical evaluation with documentation of the random sample data, daily data and batch data. The GKF 2500 ASB 100 % is equipped with an integrated checkweigher. Each capsule is weighed individually and with high precision. Accepted are only those capsules of which the weight is within the preset tolerance limits. Any overweight or underweight capsules are rejected. 3

7 Empty capsule feed and separation (stations 1 and 2) with mechanical capsule cap scanning (station 3) Individual capsule discharge (stations 10 and 11) Reliable production through ASB The automatic troubleshooting during production makes possible automated production and reduces downtimes. The calibration bar in the empty capsule magazine ensures that deformed or damaged empty capsules are already discharged before the filling process. The mechanical capsule cap scanning facility detects blockages in the capsule feed. The repeated occurrence of missing capsules in a segment bore is detected by the serial fault function. Any deformed capsules in the capsule magazine are blown out by means of a targeted pulse of compressed air and then collected in a bin. The capsule body scanning facility detects incomplete capsules during the closing process. No powder or capsule parts get into the production batch. Defective capsules are individually discharged via the 18 discharge flaps. The segment cleaning with blow nozzles reliably releases any adherent product and capsule remains from the segment borings and discharges these by means of suction air. This ensures thorough cleaning of the segments. 7
