Garvey Corporation has a brand new tray loading system on view at this year’s Interphex in NYC. Here is a peek into what is on display:

Garvey Corporation announces its new multi-lane tray loader for pharmaceutical vials. This revolutionary design can load up to 800 3ml vpm into cardboard or plastic trays with extremely low vial to vial impact. Loading 6 rows at a time, this unit reduces the number of strokes required to load a tray and therefore the speed and impact on all vials. This preserves vial integrity. All movements are controlled by servo driven linear motors. The unit can be mated to either Garvey’s BI-FLO or INFINITY RX accumulators depending on line speed and vial size. Come see the unit in action at booth #3320.

Vials coming out of cold storage need to be dried prior to labeling and inspection.  The traditional solution is to batch dry them in trays in a room with sufficient airflow.   The trays remove most of the benefit from this airflow, extending the drying time up to several hours.

Garvey’s vial drying system reduces this time down to as little as 5 minutes, allowing for continuous operation.

Contact us today if you’re interested in modernizing your vial drying process.

Garvey's vial drying system allows you to remove the vials from the tray and utilize more of the airflow. This speeds up the drying process to as little as 5 minutes and allows you to send vials directly to labeling or inspection, reducing Time Out of Refrigeration (TOR) and labor.

After drying, our high speed Infinity Rx accumulation table gently single files the vials at up to 800 vials per minute using our patented Infinity technology. We guarantee glass integrity because the vials never encounter backpressure or turbulence.

Stop by our booth at Pack Expo International 2012 in Chicago next week, Sunday through Wednesday (10/28 – 10/31). Our booth number is Booth # N4121 and we’ll be demonstrating how to buffer and single file unstable containers such as reverse tapered wine bottles, empty aluminum aerosol cans, 3ml glass vials, and rectangular food trays.

We have a lot of motor heads at Garvey. A few months back they all got together and put on an impromptu car show. Here are some great pics taken by Rob Beamer.

According to Wikipedia, the longest conveyor in the world is a 100km behemoth in Western Sahara.

The world's longest conveyor is 100km (62.1 miles)

See it in google mapshere.

Even more interesting is the longest continuous belt conveyor, which is in Bangladesh and India

The longest single belt conveyor runs from Meghalaya in India to Sylhet in Bangladesh. It is about 17 km long and conveys limestone and shale at 960 tons/hr, from the quarry in India to a cement factory in Bangladesh (7 km long in India and 10 km long in Bangladesh).

The conveyor is actuated by 3 synchronized drive units for a total power of about 1.8 MW (2 drives at the head end in Bangladesh and 1 drive at the tail end in India).

Dedicated vehicles were designed for the maintenance of the conveyor, which is always at a minimum height of 5 meters above the ground to avoid being flooded during monsoon periods.

It’s impressive that it can do all that with just three drive units! Read more about the world’s longest conveyors at Wikipedia

We came across a photo of an old G.R. Garvey and Sons truck today. It’s a 1956 Ford F-100.
