Counting & Bottling
Plan a tablet or capsule bottling line: product counts, bottle formats, feeding, capping, sealing, trials and equipment integration.
PROCESS SCOPE
What this process covers
Tablet and capsule counting and bottling, including bottle feeding, desiccant insertion, capping, induction sealing and labelling interfaces. Softgels are a product-trial question here, not a softgel manufacturing topic.
