BASM-12
Solid Dose Sorter
for Capsules, Tablets
and Softgels
Screen tablets, hard capsules and softgels for major visible defects with no change parts required. A tablet-flipping mechanism exposes both faces, supporting high-volume quality screening before downstream packaging. For pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production, including dietary supplements.

Product flexibility
Three product families.
No dedicated change parts.
Recipe selection supports quick changeover among suitable tablets, hard capsules and softgels within the 5–22 mm size range.
Hard Capsules
Screen exposed surfaces for major visible appearance defects.
Softgels
Evaluate larger, readily visible defects using product-specific recipes.
Supported product size range: 5–22 mm. This sorter provides partial-surface inspection, not complete 360° coverage; hidden surfaces and fine cosmetic defects may not be detected.
Defect examples
Focus on major
visible defects.

Detection depends on defect size, location, product presentation, speed and recipe settings, and is established through sample testing.
How it works
Fast screening.
Automatic product separation.
BASM-12 combines product feeding, tablet flipping and recipe-based inspection to separate products with major visible defects.
Supported Product Handling
Tablets, hard capsules and softgels within the confirmed size range are presented for screening without dedicated change parts.
Inspect Both Tablet Faces
The flipping mechanism exposes the two major tablet faces. Inspection does not cover all surfaces in 360°.
Identify & Separate Defects
Defined recipes and adjustable sensitivity guide inspection, with automatic separation of defective and accepted products.
High-Volume Screening
Up to 200,000 products/hour is referenced to 9 mm tablets; achievable speed depends on product and feeding characteristics.
No Change Parts Required
Quick recipe selection reduces dedicated tooling purchases, storage and changeover work.
Inspection Data & Reporting
Defect statistics, rejection classifications, PDF reports, audit trails and USB data/image export support quality review.

Capsule Sorter
BASM-12 screens supported hard capsules for major visible defects and separates products according to the selected recipe.
Tablet Sorter
BASM-12 supports tablet screening and sorting. Its flipping mechanism exposes both faces; inspection coverage remains partial-surface and must not be equated with AISIM full-surface inspection.
Softgel Sorter
BASM-12 also supports suitable softgels for major visible defect screening. Product shape, appearance and handling conditions are evaluated for the application.
Questions About Solid Dose Sorter for Capsules, Tablets and Softgels
Can BASM-12 sort capsules, tablets and softgels?
Yes. BASM-12 supports suitable capsules, tablets and softgels for major visible defect screening and sorting.
Which product defects can be evaluated for sorting?
Review the defect examples above. Recipe and handling suitability depend on the product.
What inspection coverage does this sorter provide?
BASM-12 provides partial-surface screening with 180° coverage. It is not a 360° full-surface inspection system.
How does it differ from AISIM?
AISIM provides full-surface inspection with dedicated imaging stations. BASM-12 focuses on screening major visible defects.
