The first novelty of Planeta Q is the new design, which is the result of the company’s 50 plus years of experience in the development of capsule filling technology. In fact, a careful study of the operator-machine interaction has led to a more ergonomic design that allows the user total accessibility to the machine in order to carry out routine operations, whether they consist in actual production or maintenance programmes.

The machine’s edgy parts have been reduced and the internal layout has been conceived by focusing on ergonomics. The safety guards are ‘gull-wing’-shaped and the empty capsule selector SR/I is integrated into the machine, thus allowing faster intervention by the operator, states the company.

The control panel is mobile, which allows it to rotate around the machine Q at an angle of 180 degrees, and it is equipped with a 21-inch touchscreen HMI to make the control of every operation user-friendly. According to the firm, the VPN connection allows faster remote access for online technical assistance. Connectivity is also enhanced thanks to the network that has been designed for full integration with the customers' corporate network systems.
