Pharmaceutical Packaging & Inspection

Pharmaceutical packaging and inspection applications require conveyor systems capable of consistent, reliable performance throughout continuous production.

Conveyor Technologies' low profile conveyors are built for the demands of pharmaceutical packaging lines. Our timing belt systems deliver the repeatable positioning that serialization and vision inspection require, while our compact frame height fits beneath equipment where standard conveyors cannot.

For over 40 years, we've manufactured precision conveyors in Milford, Ohio. Every system ships with sealed, maintenance-free bearings that eliminate lubrication and the contamination risk that comes with it. Engineering support is provided directly by our technical team.

Backed by a 10-year warranty on all conveyor frames.

Accurate serialization starts with accurate positioning. Our timing belt conveyors use positive engagement between belt and pulley, eliminating slippage and drift. Every package arrives at the print or scan station in exactly the right position.

Precise positioning is critical when applying unique identifiers at production speeds. Timing belt systems maintain consistent pitch spacing throughout the conveyor length, giving vision systems and print heads a predictable target. This improves first-pass read rates and reduces rejects.

For aggregation stations where cases need to pause and accumulate, our flat belt conveyors provide gentle handling without pressure buildup. Variable speed drives enable conveyor speed matching with upstream and downstream equipment to maintain line balance.

Vision systems need stable product presentation. Vibration, belt texture, and inconsistent speed all degrade image quality and inspection accuracy.

Our low profile conveyors use precision-machined pulleys and sealed bearings to minimize vibration at the inspection point. Flat belt options provide a clean background for cameras, while timing belt configurations hold products in fixed positions during the scan cycle.

The low profile frame height positions product closer to cameras without requiring elevated mounting hardware. For inline inspection, our conveyors integrate beneath vision enclosures where taller systems will not fit.

Speed synchronization with brushless DC or servo drives ensures consistent product spacing through the inspection zone. Precise positioning improves reject mechanism reliability when defects are detected.

Labeling accuracy depends on consistent product placement. Our timing belt conveyors position bottles, cartons, and cases precisely for wraparound, front-back, and top labeling applications.

The positive-drive design maintains exact spacing between products, so each item hits the labeling station at the right moment. This is especially critical for high-speed lines where even small timing variations compound into misaligned labels and wasted product.

For secondary packaging (cartoning, case packing, bundling), our conveyors transfer product smoothly between stations. Cleated belt options keep items separated during transport. Low profile frames fit under cartoner infeed sections and between case packer stations where vertical clearance is tight.

Custom belt widths and lengths match your specific machine layout. Side-flexing configurations navigate corners without requiring multiple straight sections.

Packaging line configurations vary by application. Our engineering team works directly with you to configure conveyors that fit your specific equipment layout and process requirements.

Standard options include multiple belt materials (urethane, silicone, FDA-approved compounds), frame finishes (anodized aluminum, stainless steel, powder coat), and drive configurations (end drive, center drive, dual drive). We build to your dimensions with length, width, and height customized to your application.

For OEMs and machine builders, we provide 3D CAD models and dimensional drawings to support your design process. Our conveyors integrate with all major automation platforms through standard mounting patterns and drive interfaces.

Washdown configurations feature stainless steel frames and sealed bearings for sanitation protocols. For controlled environments, materials are specified to meet cleanroom classification requirements.
