Planetary Feeders: gentle handling of parenteral products
Our servo-controlled Planetary feeder gently places glass and plastic containers into blisters or environmentally friendly boxes – for the safe secondary packaging of vials, ampoules and cartridges.
HIGHNOW Planetary Feeder provides servo-controlled gentle handling for sensitive parenteral products, achieving 1,500-2,000 blisters/min with zero product damage. Its innovative planetary indexing system ensures precise placement (±0.3mm tolerance) of vials, ampoules, and cartridges into blisters or eco-friendly cardboard trays. Constructed with pharmaceutical-grade materials (316L stainless steel), it meets cGMP/EMA standards and features tool-less changeover (<10 minutes) between product formats. The energy-efficient design reduces power consumption by 22% compared to conventional feeders, while integrated vision inspection detects misaligned products in real time. Ideal for sustainable pharmaceutical packaging lines requiring maximum product integrity.

We offer after-sales support to keep your production going.
This includes online advice 24/7, on-site commissioning, GMP guidance, fast response and plenty of spare parts.
The feeder uses 6 independently controlled planetary arms with soft silicone grippers (Shore hardness 45A) that maintain constant contact pressure (3-5N) throughout the transfer cycle. This design eliminates impact forces (>98% reduction vs. linear feeders).
Our proprietary "EcoDrive" system reduces power consumption to 1.8kW at max speed by optimizing servo motor torque curves and using regenerative braking to recapture 15% of energy during deceleration phases.
Testing per ISO 11608-1:2023 uses 10,000 glass vials (Type I, 10mL) with strain gauge monitoring. Results show <0.01% breakage rate and no visible micro-cracks under 40x magnification.
Over 500 consecutive cycles with 20mm diameter vials, Cpk = 1.67 for X-axis positioning and Cpk = 1.72 for Y-axis, exceeding pharmaceutical industry requirements (Cpk ≥1.33).
Cardboard tray option eliminates 85% of plastic usage vs. traditional blister packs, reducing carbon footprint by 32kg CO₂e per 1M units. Life cycle assessment compliant with ISO 14040 standards.
Fully compliant with cGMP (21 CFR Part 211), EMA Annex 1 (2023), USP <1079>, and CE marking (EN 61010-1). Documentation package includes DQ/IQ/OQ protocols and material certificates (3.1.B).
Average changeover time is 8 minutes (95% confidence interval: 7.2-8.8 min) for operators with basic training, verified through time-motion studies with 12 operators across 3 product formats.
Preventive maintenance schedule includes weekly lubrication of planetary bearings (food-grade grease NLGI 2) and monthly calibration of vision system using a certified reference target (±0.01mm accuracy).
For a production volume of 50M units/year with a product cost of $2/vial, 0.01% damage reduction generates $10,000 annual savings. ROI for waste reduction alone is 2.3 years.
The feeder features standard interface protocols (Siemens Profinet/Allen-Bradley Ethernet/IP) and adjustable height (850-1100mm) to connect with all major blister machines (Uhlmann, IMA, Bosch). Integration typically requires <4 hours of on-site engineering.
