Description

Lab Scale Automatic Capsule Filler is a compact, automated machine designed for filling hard-shell capsules with powders, pellets, granules, liquids, tablets, or combinations thereof. These machines are ideal for research and development (R&D) labs, pharmaceutical pilot batches, clinical trials, academic institutions, small pharmacies, and low-volume production. Unlike large industrial fillers, they prioritize flexibility, ease of use, and compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), while handling small batches. They automate processes like capsule separation, filling, and closing to improve accuracy, reduce manual labor, and ensure reproducibility, often with fill weight variations as low as ±2%.

Salient Features of Lab Scale Automatic Capsule Filler

Compact Model.
Small footprint occupies less space.
Rapid fill weightage adjustments.
Tamping principle same as of production scale machine.
AC frequency drive for machine speed control.

PLC HMI based touch screen control panel.
Vacuum venture hence no vacuum pump requires.
Dosing disc type mechanism same as of production scale machine.
Suitable for filling powder as well as pellets.
Compact pellet filling attachment for different pellet and capsule types.

Working Principle of Lab Scale Automatic Capsule Filler

The process is fully automated and typically follows these steps:

Capsule Loading and Separation: Empty capsules are loaded into a hopper or tray. Vacuum or mechanical systems separate the cap from the body.

Filling: Powder is dosed via tamping (compaction) or dosator methods; pellets/granules via vibratory feeders; liquids via pumps. Some models allow multi-product filling.

Closing and Ejection: Bodies are filled, caps are locked, and capsules are ejected. Faulty capsules are rejected automatically.

Quality Control: Integrated sensors monitor fill weight, orientation, and defects.

Maintenance is straightforward, with quick changeovers and no need for external vacuum pumps in some designs.

Key Benefits of Lab Scale Automatic Capsule Filler

Scalability: Suitable for pilot operations that can scale up to production without major redesign.

Versatility: Supports multiple capsule sizes (e.g., #000 to #5) via interchangeable tooling.

Compliance and Safety: Features like vacuum systems for clean separation, dust extraction, and containment options for handling potent compounds.

Efficiency: Outputs range from 3,000 to 24,000 capsules per hour, depending on the model and material.

Lab Scale Automatic Capsule Filler often use programmable logic controllers (PLC) with touch-screen human-machine interfaces (HMI) for precise control, and some integrate weighing systems for exact dosing.

FAQ for Lab Scale Automatic Capsule Filler

What is a Lab Scale Automatic Capsule Filler and who is it designed for?

The Lab Scale Automatic Capsule Filler is a compact, automated machine ideal for filling hard-shell capsules with powders, pellets, granules, liquids, tablets, or combinations. It is specifically designed for R&D laboratories, pharmaceutical pilot batches, clinical trials, academic institutions, small pharmacies, and low-volume production. It offers flexibility, ease of use, and GMP compliance while maintaining high accuracy (fill weight variation as low as ±2%).

What is the production capacity and speed of the Lab Scale Automatic Capsule Filler?

The machine (Model ACF 3) has a production speed of up to 2,500 capsules per hour. It supports capsule sizes 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. This makes it perfect for small-batch and development work where full-scale production speeds are not required.

What are the key features that make this machine suitable for laboratory use?

Key features include:

Compact design with a small footprint
PLC + HMI touch screen control panel
AC frequency drive for variable speed control
Rapid fill weight adjustments
Tamping and dosing disc mechanism (same as production-scale machines)
Vacuum venturi system (no separate vacuum pump required)
Suitable for both powder and pellet filling with a compact pellet attachment
AISI SS 316 contact parts for GMP compliance

How accurate is the filling process and what materials can it handle?

The machine delivers excellent filling accuracy, often with variations as low as ±2%. It can handle a wide range of materials including powders, pellets, granules, liquids, and even tablets or combinations. The dosing disc and tamping principle ensure consistent and reproducible results across batches.
