Macro PWD Non-Aseptic Processing

Machine overview

Macro dosage, maximum accuracy

Macro PWD is an automatic intermittent-motion machine designed to dose powder, granules and milled products in glass or plastic bottles and jars. It is the result of over 50 years of experience in pharmaceutical powder filling and over 100 machines installed worldwide. Able to satisfy the current safety requirements, it successfully addresses the increasing demand for the dosage of dry syrups.
The powder dosing system features the consolidated auger technology, which guarantees extreme precision and product safety even in the case of long production cycles. Depending on customer requirements, the machine is available in three different configurations and ensures easy access to the working area and excellent visibility during production.
