Xcelience to enhance manufacturing, packaging capabilities

As part of its expansion program, Xcelience has currently included a MG Futura (capsule-filling machine for powder and pellets), LCI Multi-granulator MG-55 (extruder), QJ-230T marumerizer (spheronizer), and wurster insert (bottom spray) to the existing Glatt GPCG-3 fluid bed processor.

Further, the company has also included a packaging line (including ink-jet coding) for primary bottling of tablets and capsules.

Xcelience Operations director Theodore Koontz said the addition of the MG Futura improves production times, increases overall capacity, and expands upon their existing capabilities for powders, pellets and powder micro-dosing for inhalation systems.
