7.4.3.
HEIGHT GUIDES
The mechanical height guides or the optional air guide must be set to reject certain faults,
such as a pill in the channel traveling on top of another pills (doubles), leaning up against
another pill (piggy backs) or riding on edge (standups).
Tip: The setting of the either type height guide can best be fine-tuned while the product is
flowing, when you are making test runs.
7.4.3.1.
MECHANICAL HEIGHT GUIDES
For tablets, use the adjustable Height Block (triangular block at entrance to
channel) to prevent faults. Loosen the knob on the bracket and set the guide
slightly higher than one tablet laying flat. Move the Capsule Wire up out of the
way.
For capsules and caplets (caps), use the Capsule Wire (spring wire midway down
the channel) to prevent faults. First raise the Height Block up out of the way, since
caps usually wedge under against a rigid guide. To set the Capsule Wire, loosen the
knob and set the guide slightly higher than one cap laying flat. The cap guide may
also be rotated or bent to better reject the doubles.
