Fill Depth
At times, a tablet will be too small or too large, and its weight must change. This simple adjustment
determines the tablet’s weight.
Tools and Materials Needed
• Disposable latex/rubber gloves (for food grade products and to protect hands from grease)
• Hairnet and/or beard net (food grade products only)
• Sterile shoe covers (food grade products only)
Instructions
Note: Wear latex/rubber gloves (and appropriate food grade attire if applicable) during this
process.
1. Produce test tablets to determine how the machine should be adjusted.
2. Rotate the right-hand knob on the console to change the fill depth.
2.1 Note: To increase the weight rotate the knob counterclockwise (this lowers the Dosing
Cam). To decrease the weight rotate the knob clockwise (this raises the Dosing Cam).
