Semi-Automatic Capsule Filling Machine

The Semi-Automatic Capsule filling machine from AIRPAC EXPORTS is a user-friendly machine with advanced features. These features provide a high degree of automation which, coupled with sound manufacturing
practice, result in higher levels of

  • fill weight accuracy
  • formulation yields
  • maintenance free operation
  • operator ease and safety
Innovative features include
a. 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.
b. Automation of filling station - This, again, is a revolutionary feature that eliminates the need for continuous operator attention. Motorised. swing-in and swing-back of the drug hopper after one filling cycle results in reduced operator fatigue.
c. Pneumatic closing station
- This utilises an electronic sensor which activates a pneumatic cylinder to carry out the closing operation resulting in ease of operation and reduced operator fatigue.
d. 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.
e. Modular type hopper provides easy and fast dismantling for cleaning. Change-over times between batches are reduced.
f. Filled capsule output capacity can be increased using our ring loading station. This allows existing SA-9 installations to be upgraded for extra production.
g. Large de-dusting screen on the ejection chute provides for easy separation of powder adhering to filled capsules.

Special features available if required
a. Auto Closing. This feature allows complete automation of the capsule closing operation. The loading rings need only be placed in the closing section. The automatic closing cycle completes the closing and ejection of filled capsules in an enclosed chamber providing complete operator safety and no manual effort.
b. Tablet Filling: A separate unit that fills tablets into capsules or tablets along with powder/pellets into the capsules can be provided for special applications.
c. Spout with nylon brushes: This feature is suitable for pellet filling applications. It limits damage to pellets, reduces spillage and gives better yields.

Other Features

  • Special light weight loading rings greatly reduce fatigue levels arising from continuous handling. These loading rings are made from proprietary design magnesium alloys and are the lightest available.
  • Overall construction of the machine using stainless steel, aluminium, brass and mild steel with powder coating provides a high level of GMP.
  • A safety electronic inter-lock is provided on the guard for the loading section. This provides operator safety.
  • A choice of 18 speeds provides flexibility to achieve target weight.
