Desiccant Inserter

Product Variants

The Accutek Desiccant Inserter is the optimal choice to keep your products moisture-free.

Desiccants are dehumidifying agents that attract moisture to a container and lock it away from the product. Packets filled with desiccant are placed inside pharmaceutical and nutraceutical tablet and powder containers to keep capsules from sticking together and powders from clumping. The Desiccant Inserter dispenses packets filled with desiccant that are belt-fed from a reel.

This support equipment cuts a single packet from the end of the belt and drops it into a bottle. A bottle is held under the packet chute until the packet is dispensed. The bottle indexing system then releases the filled bottle and stops the next empty bottle under the packet chute. The inserter can drop up to 50 packets a minute into bottles.

How exactly does the desiccant inserter work?

Containers move along on a conveyor belt to the desiccant dispenser. A cap chute receives the oriented desiccant capsules and positions the caps to be stomped into a container passing under the chute’s end. A sensor activates a packet-separating knife that lets one packet to drop into the container. A sensor fires the cap stomper, driving a capsule into a container.

How can I keep my desiccant inserter clean?

How often you clean and the type of cleaning solution you use depend on your specific application. Consider local and federal guidelines for your product and manufacturing format. We recommend cleaning the machine with a mild soap solution and rinsing with water. You’ll also need to clean the machine’s conveyor occasionally using warm soap and water. That means checking for product residue or debris build-up between the conveyor chain links and removing any accumulation. Also, clean the track where the conveyor belt rides.

What should I do if I have a problem with my desiccant inserter?

If you have an issue with your desiccant inserter, call Accutek’s service department. We’ll be happy to help you walk through the issue and get your machine back in working order.

Is this machine safe?

Yes, the desiccant inserter is safe, so long as you are careful when operating it. For instance, you would not want to wear jewelry or rings when the conveyor is in motion. Otherwise, you risk them getting caught and injuring yourself. Make sure to read the manual; it has instructions on implementing some basic lockout/tagout procedures that can help keep you and your employees injury-free.
