Semi Automatic Capsule Filling Machine

Semi Automatic Capsule Filling Machine is designed for precision manufacturing requirements of modern pharmaceutical procedures. The machine provides a high Degree of automation with higher levels of filling weight accuracy. Capsule Filling Machine is suitable to fill capsules of all sizes with powder, granules or pellets. Machine is made as per GMP standard, has all Stainless Steel covering and gives output of 35000 to 47000 capsules per hour

We are having two models in this machine.

  • Single Loader Machine, SCF-35 : Provide production output up to 36000 capsules per hour
  • Double Loader Machine, SCF-45: Provide production output up to 47000 capsules per hour

Loading trays are in Magnesium alloy light weight material & number of Holes in one loading tray is as below:

Size 00: 480 holes

Size 0:600 holes

Size 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5:720 holes

Its advanced design meets the requirement of modern pharmaceutical procedures. Semi Automatic Capsule Filling Machine can work as complete system of Semi Automatic Capsule Filling Line by attaching Capsule Conveying System, Capsule Polishing Machine, Dust Extractor, Damage Capsule Sorter and Empty Capsule Ejector.

Salient Features

  • Higher production output up to 47,000 capsules per hour
  • On line capsule polishing & sorting
  • No operator require for capsule polishing & sorting
  • Automatic empty capsule separation after Loading – No need to turn by hand
  • No extra power consumption
  • No need to store filled capsule for polishing
  • Loader gets disengaged automatically after one complete rotation of loading ring
  • PLC controlled digital display of all operations
  • Auger with four speeds to fill different type of powders & pellets
  • Modified design of drug hopper reduces time for dismantling and unloading of powder
  • Auto-drug hopper in-feed mechanism reduces weight variations & improves productivity
  • Automatic declutching of loader when the loading rings are full minimizes operator attention and ensures optimum production
  • Infinitely variable filling table speed ensures dosage accuracy
  • Automatically drug hopper in-feed mechanism eliminates weight variation, reduces operator fatigue and enhances productivity
  • A choice of four augur speeds enables the machine to handle a wide variety of powder from highly hygroscopic to the very free-flowing
  • Automatic Capsule Closing System ensures faster, safer closure and ejection of filled capsules

 

Automation of Loading Station - This eliminates the need for continuous operator attention as solid-state control circuitry provides automatic stoppage of the loading table after completion of one cycle, each of 60 strokes.

Automation of Filling Station - This, again, is a revolutionary feature that eliminates the need for continuous operator attention. Motorized swing-in and swing-back of the drug hopper after one filling cycle results in reduced operator fatigue.

Pneumatic Closing Station - This utilizes an electronic sensor which activates a pneumatic cylinder to carry out the closing operation resulting in ease of operation and reduced operator fatigue.

Vertical Closing - Vertical closing of filled capsules reduces reject rates and powder spillage. This is critical for pellet filling. This is achieved by having two speeds for auger and nine speeds for filling table operation.

Modular type hopper provides easy and fast dismantling for cleaning. Change-over times between batches are reduced.

Filled Capsule Output Capacity can be increased using our ring loading station. This allows existing SA-9 installations to be upgraded for extra production.

Large De-dusting Screen on the ejection chute provides for easy separation of powder adhering to filled capsules.
