Garden State Nutritionals - USA

A Healthy Outlook On Inspection

Sensitive pharmaceutical metal detectors, pipeline-style inspection systems and checkweighers help Garden State Nutritionals provide 100-percent inspection and ensure quality and accuracy for hundreds of nutraceutical, herbal and nutritional tablets, capsules and powders.

As one of America's largest contract manufacturers and packagers of nutraceuticals, Garden State Nutritionals, West Caldwell, NJ, prides itself on its ability to innovate, creating more than 1,000 custom dietary supplements every year. Its customers rely upon it to give their products flair, effectiveness and the differentiation they need to find success in the marketplace. Manufacturing and packing more than 5,000 active product formulas for various customers in hundreds of different configurations, the company needs flexibility and reliability from package-inspection equipment that can improve acceptability and minimize production losses. Anything else would be a hard pill to swallow.

To be successful, the company's packaging lines in West Caldwell and in Fairfield, NJ, must perform at high accuracies, with consistency and reliability. That's why it recently added a series of new metal-detection and checkweighing systems from Lock Inspection Systems, including the MET 30+ pharmaceutical metal detector, the Waferthin metal detector, the MET 30+ Pipeline metal detector and the WeighChek CK 100 checkweigher.

Garden State produces thousands of herbal, nutraceutical, energy and sports nutrition products under various brand names, including those for the Windmill Health Div. of parent company, Vitaquest, on assorted production lines that run anywhere from 20 to 120 containers/min, depending on the line, the product and the package configuration.
