ProMach Pharma Integrated Solid Dose Packaging Line
The company debuted an end-to-end packaging system at PACK EXPO designed to streamline pharmaceutical production workflows.
Updated on Sept. 22, 2026 in Consumer Goods
ProMach Pharma unveiled a fully integrated solid dose packaging line at PACK EXPO in booth S-3852. The system combines various automated machines to handle the entire process from bottle filling to palletizing.
Why it matters
Manufacturers face complex integration challenges when sourcing equipment from multiple vendors. ProMach Pharma aims to solve this by providing a single point of contact to simplify procurement and unify line control.
The line features an NJM beltorque capper capable of 250 bottles per minute and a Serpa P100 cartoner running at 330 cartons per minute. These speeds are compared against standard industry throughput requirements for solid dose pharmaceutical manufacturers.
The players
ProMach Pharma
A division of a broader packaging machinery manufacturer that specializes in providing integrated production lines for pharmaceutical companies.
PACK EXPO
A major industry trade show serving as a platform for manufacturers to showcase packaging equipment and operational technology.
The details
The integrated system uses a series of conveyors and a Shuttleworth RallyTrak Rx accumulation table to buffer products between stations. Bottles pass through an NJM CFE tablet counter, a WLS RL-420 rotary labeler, and a Serpa cartoner. A combination unit from Serpa finalizes the process by handling case packing and palletizing.

Market Landscape
This development follows the broader industry trend toward integrated, turnkey production cells to minimize system downtime. By offering a single point of contact, ProMach Pharma competes against fragmented procurement models that often complicate line integration and maintenance.
Operators managing solid dose production lines should evaluate their current throughput bottlenecks against these integrated speed benchmarks. Manufacturers should consider whether consolidating vendors into a single point of contact could reduce maintenance overhead in their own facilities.
The takeaway
Integrated lines prioritize throughput continuity by minimizing hand-offs between disparate machines. Monitor the performance of your accumulation systems to see if they match the balance of your filling and cartoning speeds.
