Automatic Cotton Inserter Machine For Tablet Bottle Packaging

Product Description

Precision Cotton Insertion for Moisture Protection & Product Cushioning

In the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors, packaging isn't just about presentation, it’s about protection. Tablets and capsules are prone to moisture damage, mechanical breakage, and product shifting inside bottles. Enter the Automatic Cotton Inserter Machine from N.K. Industries, Ahmedabad, India,an intelligent, high-performance solution designed to preserve product integrity by automatically placing pre-cut cotton or equivalent wad material into bottles during high-speed packaging processes.

Whether you're a small-scale producer or managing a high-output packaging facility, our NKCI Series Cotton Inserter Machines are engineered for flexibility, scalability, and seamless integration. Offered in configurations ranging from single-head to four-head models, these machines can handle speeds of 30 to 100 bottles per minute, depending on your operational needs.

The cotton is supplied in roll form, and the machine automates the entire process—feeding, cutting, and inserting—with extreme precision using servo-based controls and PLC-driven logic. From reducing manual errors to enhancing product longevity, the Automatic Cotton Inserter is the solution for manufacturers who demand efficiency, hygiene, and consistency.
