Almac Pharma Services recommends SADE SP440 Weight Sorter

In February 2015, Almac Pharma Services in Craigavon, Northern Ireland, received delivery of a SADE SP440 tablet and capsule weight sorter from CI Precision.

Almac is a global CDMO offering services from early-stage research through clinical development and commercialisation. With over 600 clients worldwide, including leading pharmaceutical companies, Almac is recognised for its quality, efficiency, and innovation built over more than 30 years.

R&D Application for Capsule and Tablet Sorting

The SP440 weight sorter was installed in Almac’s R&D division to support weight sorting validation for tablet and capsule batches. Batch sizes range from 1,000 to 250,000 units, requiring fast, accurate inspection with minimal changeover time.

“The SP440 is reliable and suitable for our applications,”
says Stephen Gallagher, Process Development Manager at Almac Pharma Services.

Endorsement and Support Experience

“SADE equipment was already in use by our Clinical Services Division.
They recommended CI Precision.
We now operate SP100, SP140, and SP440 units within Pharma Services,”
Gallagher adds.

On support:

“Excellent from start to finish — from sales enquiry through to installation, training, and after-sales.”

Additional Purchases and Validation Support

To complement the SP440 installation, Almac also purchased:

• Validation Support Documentation

• Full Spares Pack

• SP Connect Software Licence

These ensured smooth integration, ongoing performance, and GMP compliance.
