Another example of LPI ingenuity is this high volume pill splitter and dispensing system.  Along with the concept, LPI designed the easy to clean membrane controls.

The device was designed to split quantities of higher dose pills in half, creating lower dose pills that are less expensive than pills purchased in the resulting dose.

This device handles both round and oblong pills fed from the hopper on top. The number of pills to be split is entered on the front panel and the machine automatically performs the task.
