Custom Tote Conveyor System for Prescription Fulfillment

Our Engineered to Order team has recently designed and built mail service prescription processing and fulfillment conveyors for a large national retailer. These conveyor systems are comprised of two connected lines. One transports prescription bottles to be labeled, scanned, and filled, and the other carries totes for orders to be compiled and inspected by operators before moving on to packaging.

This client needed a fast, accurate solution for handling and processing prescription orders, while also offering safe and ergonomic work stations for employees to fulfill and inspect orders before packaging. Watch the video below to see the system our team built in action.

Automatic Vial Dryer from Garvey

In temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical production, any time out of the cold chain can negatively affect the potency of a product. One of the biggest contributors to the time pharmaceuticals are outside of the cold chain is in packaging and inspection, where products can be at room temperature for 24-48 hours. 

With Garvey’s Automatic Vial Dryer, this time can be cut down to as little as 5 minutes! The modular design keeps the vial drying system flexible and easily configurable to fit into tight production layouts. It also includes various in-feed and out-feed options and can be customized to meet the needs of your production line.
