Table Top Capsule Filler

A Table Top Capsule Filler also known as a benchtop or manual/semi-automatic capsule filling machine is a compact, countertop device used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and supplement manufacturing to fill empty hard gelatin or vegetarian capsules with powders, pellets, granules, tablets, liquids, or even capsule-in-capsule combinations. These machines are ideal for research and development (R&D), pilot batches, small-scale production, or home use, as they require minimal space and can be operated manually or with basic automation. They meet Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards and are scalable to full production lines.

Key Features and Benefits

• Compact Design: Fits on a standard table or bench, with dimensions typically around 17″ x 18″ x 19″.

• Versatility: Handles capsule sizes from #000 to #5, and various fill materials.

• Ease of Use: Manual models involve simple steps like loading capsules, spreading powder, and tamping; semi-automatic versions add intermittent controls for efficiency.

• Output Capacity: Ranges from 300–600 capsules per batch for manual models to higher rates in semi-automatic units.

• Cost-Effective: Affordable entry point for small operations without needing large industrial setups.

How It Works

Using a typical hand-operated model like the 300 Holes Capsule Filling Machine:

1. Separate capsule halves and load bodies into the plate (300 holes in 25×12 grid).

2. Lock and level the bodies.

3. Spread powder evenly using a tamper to fill uniformly.

4. Remove excess powder and insert caps.

5. Lock the assembly.

This process ensures consistent fill weights and minimizes waste.

• 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.
