300 Holes Manual Capsule Filling Machine

Description

300 Holes Manual Capsule Filling Machine is a compact, benchtop device designed for manually filling hard gelatin, vegetarian (HPMC), or other capsules with powders, pellets, or granules. It’s particularly suited for small-scale production, research and development (R&D) labs, pilot batches, herbal/Ayurvedic preparations, nutraceutical manufacturing, and educational institutions. This machine is popular in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, veterinary, and biotech industries due to its affordability, ease of use, and compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). It processes up to 300 capsules per cycle, with an overall output of 3,000 to 6,000 capsules per hour depending on operator skill and material type. Unlike fully automatic machines, this model relies on manual operations but incorporates precision-engineered components for efficiency and accuracy. It’s fully disassemblable for cleaning, making it ideal for sterile environments.

The process is straightforward and typically takes 1-2 minutes per 300-capsule cycle. Here’s a general guide based on standard models:

Load Empty Capsules: Place empty capsule halves (bodies) into the 300-hole loading tray. Use an optional capsule loader to separate and orient them quickly.

Position Tray: Secure the tray on the machine’s base.

Fill with Powder: Pour the powder (or pellets) into the tray using a spreader. Distribute evenly across the holes.

Tamp/Compress: Use the tamper tool to press the powder into the capsule bodies multiple times for uniform fill weight. The machine’s design ensures even pressure.

Remove Excess Powder: Scrape off any overflow with a powder scraper.

Cap the Capsules: Align the cap tray over the filled bodies. Lock the assembly and use the machine’s lever or knob to push the bodies into the caps, sealing them.

Eject and Collect: Release the filled capsules from the tray.

Working Principle of 300 Holes Manual Capsule Filling Machine

Adinath is one of the leading manual capsule filling machine manufacturer in India. We are giving here below step by step process guide of Capsule Filling Machine:

Place empty capsules onto the loading tray and place tray onto the machine. Check the front knob it should be turned to the right.

Pull locking lever forward. Push down long handle which will lifts the caps off all the bodies. Set aside the tray containing all the caps.

Push locking lever back, by which capsule bodies will drop down and become level with filling surface.

Place powder tray on filler: keeps powder from spilling.

Pour & spread the pre-measured powder. Move extra powder onto powder tray’s shelf. Lower tamper and lock.

Turn handle to compress powder: this allows you to fill more powder in each capsule.

Raise tamper & spread extra powder from shelf into capsules: ensures uniform fill weights.

Return the tray containing caps to filler. Turn front knob to the left and lower locking plate. Engage lock for locking plate.

Hold tamper handle and push down on long handle. Bodies are pushed up into caps: all the capsules are now locked in one step.

Disengage lock for locking plate. Lift locking plate and turn front knob to the right.

Push down long handle and remove tray of completed capsules.

Capsules are filled now. You can turn tray and all the capsules will get out from the tray.
