SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PACKAGING SOLID PHARMACEUTICAL AND/OR NUTRACEUTICAL PRODUCTS AND AUTOMATICALLY ALTERING A RANDOM THREE DIMENSIONAL ARRANGEMENT OF SOLID PHARMACEUTICAL AND NUTRACEUTICAL PRODUCTS INTO TWO DIMENSIONAL ARRANGEMENTS OR LINEAR TRANSMISSION CHANNELS

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for altering a random three-dimensional orientation of solid pharmaceutical or nutraceutical products into either a two-dimensional arrangement of solid products or for transferring the solid products directly into one or more linear transmission channels. At least one elongated straight edge member is periodically vertically displaced into the mass of solid products and the displacement of this straight edge structure alone or in combination with other rotating or displaceable structures facilitate reorientation of the solid products.
