Scaling a manufacturing operation is no small feat. Whether you’re an emerging producer or an established company looking to expand, knowing when and how to scale can mean the difference between meeting demand and falling behind. At ATG Pharma, we provide solutions that grow with you—starting with the A1 Semi-Automatic Filling System and leading up to the RoboCAP RL-300 for those ready to take the next step.

Laying the Foundation: The A1 Semi-Automatic Filling System

Every successful production line starts somewhere, and for many manufacturers in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cannabis, that starting point is the A1 Semi-Automatic Filling System. Designed for businesses moving away from manual filling, this system makes precision, consistency, and efficiency accessible without the need for a massive upfront investment.

• Scalability from Day One: The A1 fills 300 to 500 cartridges per hour, providing a reliable production pace that allows businesses to grow steadily.
• Uncompromising Accuracy: With a Volumetric Filling Nozzle ensuring ±2.5% accuracy, it helps maintain product integrity across batches.
• Versatility in Action: Designed to handle a variety of viscosities, it supports everything from standard oils to thicker formulations, making it an essential tool for producers of tinctures, oils, and more.

One of the most significant benefits of starting with the A1 is the opportunity to refine workflows, establish quality control processes, and validate formulations before committing to a fully automated system. This step is crucial for businesses in highly regulated industries like cannabis, where compliance and product consistency are paramount.

Taking the Next Step: Scaling with the RoboCAP RL-300

As demand increases, the need for efficiency and speed becomes more pressing. The RoboCAP RL-300 is built to bridge the gap between semi-automatic and fully automated production, giving businesses the ability to scale with confidence.

• Substantial Throughput Increase: The RL-300 can fill 1,500 to 3,000 cartridges per hour, providing the boost needed to meet market demand without sacrificing quality.
• Precision at Scale: Advanced dispensing technology ensures each cartridge receives the exact amount of product, minimizing waste and maintaining consistency.
• Adaptable to Growth: With options for multiple nozzle configurations, temperature control, and customisation, the RL-300 is built to evolve with your production needs.

For companies already working with the A1, transitioning to the RL-300 is a logical next step. Instead of overhauling existing processes, this system integrates seamlessly, enhancing efficiency without disrupting production.

When Is the Right Time to Scale?

Scaling isn’t just about purchasing new equipment; it’s about knowing when the investment will pay off. Here are some critical indicators that it might be time to upgrade:

• You’re constantly maxing out production capacity and struggling to keep up with demand.
• Batch inconsistencies are becoming an issue, and you need better control over product quality.
• Labour costs are rising, and automating could reduce manual workload while improving efficiency.
• You’re expanding into new markets and need a production system that can scale with you.
• Regulatory requirements demand higher precision and control, making automation an essential step for compliance.
