Semi Automatic Capsule Filling Machine

Semi-Automatic Capsule Filling Machine: This cGMP machine fills capsules with powder, pellet, and granules. It has a single loader capsule filling machine. Our three versions, the ASCF 25, ASCF 35, and ASCF 45, can produce up to 25, 35, and 45 thousand capsules every hour, respectively. All product coverings are composed of SS 304 sheet, and product contact components are constructed from food-grade or stainless steel 316 materials.

Loading rings are divided into two portions that operate the machine. A built-in capsule loader loads empty capsules onto this ring. The capsule body and cap are separated in separate rings by a separation station. The body of the capsule is placed beneath the powder feeding station, where the powder is filled and sealed. There are three distinct kinds of augers available to operate various powder properties. Following powder feeding, the two loading rings are joined and placed in the locking station to lock the capsule. After the pin plate assembly completes the capsule locking process, the filled capsules are released onto the collection hopper.

Small semi-automatic capsule filling machines and production-scale semi-automatic capsule filling machines are both available in the Adinath family of capsule filling machines.

Salient Features of Semi Automatic Capsule Filling Machine

• Compact GMP Model.
• Suitable to fill powder, pellets and granules in capsules.
• Hard Gelatin, HPMC and Veg capsules can be operated.
• Three different types of powder augers supplied to suit wide range of powder characteristics.
• Modified design of powder hopper reduces time for dismantling & unloading of powder.
• Easy change over between capsule sizes.
• Online capsule polishing & sorting.
• No operator requires 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.
• IQ/OQ documentation can be provided.

Design Features of Semi-Automatic Capsule Filling Machine

• 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 50 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 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.

Process Operation of  Semi Automatic Capsule Filler Machine

Empty capsules of suitable size are loaded in capsule hopper of filling machine. Powder then loaded into a separate hopper. This is a corkscrew driven hopper, which allows a constant fill throughout each capsule. The operator then uses the vacuum sucker to individually sort out and fill the capsules into the loading rings. Loading Rings can be made from 00 to 5 sizes as per requirements. The operator then uses the vacuum to separate the capsules.

Once the capsules are separated, the loading rings are pulled apart to release just the bottom section. This bottom section is then placed into the filling part of the machine. Once the loading rings has been placed into this section of the machine, the operator can switch on the filling. This causes the filler to slide across onto the capsules, and the capsules to rotate beneath it. The corkscrew then evenly forces the powder down into the capsules. This ensures that each capsule is of the same size and weight. The two loading rings are then placed back together and placed into the sealing section of the capsule filling machine. Once they are aligned, the operator closes the guard and uses air pressure to seal the capsules. The capsules are then released from the loading ring.

Once the capsules have been produced, there is also a capsule polishing option for this machine. The capsule polishing has a set of corkscrew brush bristles inside and uses a dust extractor unit connect with this capsule polishing machine. This dust extractor system de-dust the capsules by the vacuum, to leave them with a high-quality and professional finish.
