APPLICATION PROFILE HepcoMotion ®

MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
Medical Industry – Automated Filling Line- Powders
Product used – PRT – PRECISION RING AND TRACK

Multiple process filling applications are required to

operate 24 hrs / day and provide total reliability
along with high stopping accuracy.
A Hepco Ring and Track system made totally out of
stainless steel provided the ideal solution for this
demanding application.

This 10 metre long Ring and Track system incorporates 75

carriages which are linked together with adjustable length
connecting rods and driven by a common scroll drive positioned
one side of the system.
This method ensures all carriages are indexed smoothly and
accurately to the next filling station with no “lost” motion.
Each carriage carries 4 glass bottles located onto a special fixture
which is fitted to the carriage plate.
A number of different operations take place at each work station, the one aspect that is common
to each operation is the need to position the bottle within 0.025mm. The cycle is one of
continuous indexing,
stopping and starting in
totally clean conditions.

The Ring and Track System

made out of stainless steel
is ground all over for
maximum corrosion
resistance, an important
aspect for any Medical
application.
Another key factor in the
choice of this product is
the need to run without the possibility of any contamination, hence the Ring and Track system
is running totally dry, a condition very few systems can tolerate and still provide a 10 year
service life.
