Automatic Capsule Filling Line

It is widely used in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, dietary supplement, herbal, Ayurvedic, biotech, cosmetic, and chemical industries for large-scale production of capsules while maintaining strict quality control and regulatory compliance.

Key machines typically include the Automatic Capsule Filling Machine, Capsule Polishing Machine, Capsule Inspection Machine, Dust Collector, Diametrically Rejected Capsule Sorter, Empty Capsule Ejector, and Automatic Blister Packing Machine (along with related counting, bottling, and labeling equipment).

Fully automatic capsule fillers can fill up to 150,000 capsules per hour. They handle hard gelatin capsule sizes from 00 to 5 and can dose powders, pellets, granules, or combinations using tamping pin technology for precise slug formation and insertion.

It separates empty capsules into body and cap, precisely doses the fill material (powder, granules, pellets, or liquids), rejoins the capsules with accurate alignment, ejects the completed capsules at high speed, and ensures consistent fill weight and quality during continuous operation with minimal operator intervention.

The Capsule Polishing Machine uses a revolving variable-speed spiral nylon brush, stainless-steel powder collector, and filtered chambers to remove residual powder from capsule surfaces, polish them to a smooth glossy finish, reduce dust contamination, and prepare capsules for inspection and packaging without damaging the shells.

Capsules travel along a conveyor belt under lighting, where angular guides rotate them for thorough visual examination. The machine detects defects such as cracks, dents, improper seals, or inconsistent fill levels and allows operators (or automated systems) to reject faulty capsules so only quality products proceed.

The Dust Collector captures airborne powder during filling and polishing operations. It maintains a clean, hygienic environment, prevents cross-contamination, protects operator health and machine longevity, filters fine particles efficiently, and supports GMP compliance.

The Empty Capsule Ejector uses airflow to separate and remove unfilled capsules so only filled ones continue. The Diametrically Rejected Capsule Sorter measures capsule diameter and geometry (ovality and size) in a revolving drum to identify and separate oversized, undersized, or out-of-tolerance capsules, ensuring uniform size and quality for downstream packaging.

It forms plastic cavities, precisely loads capsules into blister pockets, seals them with aluminum foil, cuts and perforates the packs, and produces tamper-evident protective packaging at high speed with accurate counting. The line can also integrate counting machines for bottling or poly-bag filling as needed.
