Project Overview

This turnkey automatic capsule counting and bottle packaging line was custom-manufactured by Migrand Machinery for a professional pharmaceutical enterprise based in Florida, USA. The complete production line successfully passed Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) before shipment. Led by our project contact Li Li from Hunan Grand Machinery, the final technical confirmation was completed on November 25, 2025.The entire shipment was arranged under the DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) term with two separate customs declarations. The total lead time was around 40 days, and the overall logistics cost was RMB 86,000. The total contract value of the production line reached USD 76,300. All equipment was packed into 10 packages, with a total volume of 51.55 cubic meters and a total gross weight of 3,755 kilograms.Tailored to local power supply standards, US pharmaceutical industry regulations and the client’s three mainstream bottle specifications, this integrated production line covers the full workflow from raw material mixing, bottle unscrambling, desiccant inserting, counting and filling, capping, aluminum foil sealing, labeling, sleeve labeling, heat shrinking, inkjet coding to bottle collection. It realizes fully automatic closed-loop production and fully complies with continuous, standardized and compliant production requirements of US pharmaceutical workshops.

No additional transformers or frequency converters are required, so the equipment can be put into operation right after arrival. Besides, the production line is fully customized for the client’s three bottle sizes with simple model changeover, realizing flexible multi-product production.

2. Full Compliance with US Pharmaceutical Regulations

US pharmaceutical industry is subject to strict FDA and cGMP rules. Our equipment adopts food-grade stainless steel with no dead corners, convenient for daily cleaning and disinfection. Equipped with professional inkjet coding system, the line meets product traceability requirements. We also provide complete qualification documents to help the client pass factory compliance audit efficiently.

3. One-stop Cross-border Export Service

We offered full-cycle services including technical solution design, production, FAT inspection, DDP door-to-door delivery and customs declaration. Under DDP terms, the client only needed to arrange on-site unloading, without handling complicated cross-border logistics and tariff procedures. This greatly simplified the procurement process.

4. Outstanding Cost-performance

Compared with European and American mainstream brands, our production line has obvious price advantages while maintaining the same high quality, counting accuracy and operational stability. The equipment adopts universal spare parts which are easy to purchase locally in the US, effectively lowering the total operation and maintenance cost in the long run.

5. Rich Experience in Customized Overseas Projects

This production line integrates multiple special processes including desiccant inserting, neck sleeve labeling and bottom coding. With abundant overseas project experience, we optimized the equipment layout and operation logic according to the client’s workshop and production flow. Standardized FAT process and video records fully reduce procurement risks.
