Semi-Automatic Complete Line: C-Pills + VS400 + Ninon 1500 Full semi-automatic line for small products | C-Pills + VS400 + Ninon 1500

The C-Pills + VS400 + Ninon 1500 complete semi-automatic line combines the three key stages of product packaging: filling, capping, and labelling.

Designed and manufactured by CDA, this semi-automatic line is suitable for the pharmaceutical industry, as well as food and animal sectors, and integrates the three essential steps of strategic semi-automatic packaging:

• Counting and filling tablets or capsules with the C-Pills
• Reliable capping of bottles with the VS400
• Precise labelling of containers with the Ninon 1500

Semi-Automatic Counting with the C-Pills

The first stage of this complete packaging line is handled by the C-Pills. This semi-automatic counter is dedicated to the precise counting of capsules and coated tablets:

Throughput up to 1,000 units/minute (size 0)

Robust stainless steel construction with food-grade components

This stage ensures that each bottle receives the correct number of tablets before capping and labelling.

Capping / Screwing with the VS400

The semi-automatic line continues with the capping section, handled by the VS400. This module is installed upstream of the labeller (in this configuration, the Ninon 1500). A versatile machine, it secures containers and adapts to numerous cap types.

Throughput up to 25 bottles/minute

Detection of bottles and caps to prevent misfeeds

Its ease of use makes it ideal for capping a variety of containers and closures.

Labelling with the Ninon 1500

Finally, labelling is performed by the Ninon 1500, a labeller designed for cylindrical containers. Capable of applying up to three labels per product, it enhances the final product and ensures regulatory compliance.

Throughput up to 25 products/minute

Fast, precise, and effective labelling using a 3-point technique

The Ninon 1500 from CDA is an ideal automatic adhesive labelling solution for medium and large-scale production.

Customisation and Integration

This 3-in-1 line adapts perfectly to your needs: according to tablets, caps, and labels. Our experts offer the ideal layout for your workspace (linear, U-shaped, L-shaped, infeed/outfeed tables, etc.).

Additional solutions can be integrated, such as industrial markers for expiry dates (DLC/DLUO) or barcodes, bottle feeding systems, product detection, and more.

FAQ: C-Pills + VS400 + Ninon 1500 Semi-Automatic Line

Which products is this line designed for?

The line is specifically designed for packaging tablets and capsules, particularly in:

• Pharmaceutical
• Nutraceutical / dietary supplements
• Food
• Animal health

It is ideal for production requiring precise counting, secure capping, and compliant labelling.

Can the line handle different bottle formats?

Yes, it is designed to handle various cylindrical bottles and different types of cylindrical caps. Format changes are simple and quick, making it ideal for diverse or medium-sized production runs.

Can the line grow with my business?

Absolutely. This semi-automatic line is modular and scalable. Additional modules can be added, including:

• Conveyors
• Accumulation tables
• Control systems
• Industrial markers (expiry dates, lot numbers, barcodes)

Each machine can also operate independently, allowing for gradual investment.

Is it suitable for regulated environments?

Yes. Designed and manufactured by CDA, the line meets regulated industry requirements:

• Robust stainless steel construction
• Food-contact safe components
• High counting accuracy
• Bottle and cap detection to prevent errors

It is particularly suitable for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical environments.

What is the difference between semi-automatic and automatic lines?

A semi-automatic line requires operator intervention at certain stages (bottle feeding, positioning, etc.) but offers:

• Greater flexibility
• Lower investment
• Simple operation

It is often a strategic step before moving to a fully automatic line.

Can batch or expiry date coding be integrated?

Yes. The line can be equipped with industrial markers for printing:

• Expiry dates (DLC/DLUO)
• Lot numbers
• Barcodes

This ensures traceability and regulatory compliance.

Why choose a complete line instead of separate machines?

Choosing the C-Pills + VS400 + Ninon 1500 line ensures:

• Perfect technical coherence
• Optimised synchronisation of throughput
• Reduced handling
• Single point of contact for the project
• Harmonised installation

This guarantees smoother, safer, and more efficient packaging.
