Capsule Filling Machine Workflow for Different Types
Manual Capsule Filling Machine
- Place the capsule shells into a manual filling board and separate the capsule tops and bottoms.
- Manually fill the capsule bottoms with powder or granules.
- Use a manual press to seal the tops onto the filled bottoms.
- Remove the completed capsules from the filling board.
Features: Suitable for small-batch production, easy to operate, and cost-effective.
Semi-Automatic Capsule Filling Machine
- The machine automatically separates the capsule tops and bottoms.
- The operator adds powder or granules to the hopper, and the machine fills the capsule bottoms.
- After filling, the machine joins the tops and bottoms to seal the capsules.
- The finished capsules are automatically ejected and collected.
Features: High efficiency, ideal for medium-scale production, with operator intervention mainly in the filling stage.
Automatic Capsule Filling Machine
- Capsules are automatically fed and separated by the machine.
- An automated dosing system fills the capsule bottoms with powder or granules.
- The machine then joins and seals the tops and bottoms of the capsules.
- Completed capsules are ejected to a collection area.
Features: Fully automated, extremely efficient, ideal for large-scale production with minimal operator involvement.
Softgel Capsule Filling Machine
- Softgel shells are formed by heated rollers, while liquid material is injected into the shells through a dosing system.
- The filled Softgels are sealed by a synchronized sealing system.
- The sealed Softgels are then sent to a drying system for shaping and hardening.
- After drying, Softgels are transferred to the collection area.
Features: Specially designed for liquid or gel substances, suitable for nutritional supplements and pharmaceuticals, often including cooling and drying steps for capsule stability.
Liquid Capsule Filling Machine
- Capsule shells are loaded into the feeding system, and the machine separates the tops and bottoms.
- A precise injection system fills the bottoms with liquid material.
- After filling, the capsule tops and bottoms are sealed.
- Sealed capsules are transported to the collection area.
Features: Designed for liquid and oil fillings, with high-precision dosing control, widely used in the pharmaceutical and supplement industries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Capsule making equipment is primarily used for creating uniform dosages of medications or supplements, ensuring each capsule has an accurate amount of the active ingredient. This type of machinery is essential for high-precision production, meeting strict regulatory standards for quality and consistency in pharmaceutical applications.
A capsule filler is specifically designed to fill capsule shells with various substances, such as powders, granules, or liquids, while other capsule making equipment may focus on different stages, like sealing, polishing, or packaging capsules.
The choice depends on production scale and budget. Manual machines are suitable for small batches, semi-automatic machines fit mid-range production, and fully automatic capsule making equipment is ideal for high-volume production.
Regular cleaning and lubrication are essential for capsule fillers to ensure smooth operation and avoid material build-up. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and conduct routine inspections to keep the machine in optimal condition.
Yes, gel capsule filling machines generally require stable temperatures (typically 20-25°C) and controlled humidity levels (around 30-50%) to maintain capsule integrity and prevent material degradation during filling and sealing.
Liquid capsule fillers are designed to handle various liquid substances, including oils, suspensions, and viscous materials. They offer precise dosing control, ensuring each capsule contains the accurate amount of liquid, essential for pharmaceutical and supplement applications.
