capsule fill machine

Automatic Equipment for Two-Piece Hard Capsules

This product range fills preformed two-piece hard capsules with powder or pellets. The machines orient and separate empty capsules, deliver the fill material into the capsule bodies, close the caps, discharge the finished capsules, and clean the die holes as the operating cycle continues.

All four models are published for capsule sizes 00 through 5 and safety capsules A through E. Select the model by required net output, batch size, capsule specification, fill material, utilities, and the quality controls required for the finished product.

Compare the Four Models at a Glance

The published maximum output is a machine rating. Net production output also reflects capsule size and quality, material flow, rejects, replenishment, sampling, cleaning, changeovers, and downstream constraints. Use the required good capsules per shift as the capacity target when comparing models.

FI-200CF Capsule Filling Machine

The FI-200CF is the lower-output automatic production model in this group. Its 12,000-capsule-per-hour published maximum suits projects whose batch plan does not require the FI-400CF or FI-800CF capacity level.

Core specifications

• Maximum output12,000 capsules/hour
• Fill formatpowder or pellets
• Capsule sizes00–5 and safety capsules A–E
• Overall dimensions1000 × 710 × 1900 mm (39.4 × 28.0 × 74.8 in)
• Machine weight600 kg (1,323 lb)
• Published noise level≤75 dB(A)

FI-120CF Laboratory Capsule Filling Machine

The FI-120CF is a compact automatic model positioned for small-batch drug research and development in pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and laboratories. It processes powder or pellets in the same published capsule-size range as the production models.

Core specifications

• Fill formatpowder or pellets
• Capsule sizes00–5 and safety capsules A–E
• Motor power0.7 kW
• Power supplyAC 220 V, 50 Hz
• Speed controlvariable-frequency stepless regulation

How Automatic Hard-Capsule Filling Moves Through the Machine

1. Capsule feeding and orientation: Empty two-piece capsules move from the hopper into the machine in a consistent cap-and-body orientation.
2. Cap and body separation: The capsule cap and body separate so the body can receive the fill material.
3. Material dosing: The machine meters powder or pellets into the capsule body. The dosing setup must match the material and target fill weight.
4. Rejoining and locking: The filled body aligns with its cap and closes to the required locking position.
5. Discharge and die-hole cleaning: Finished capsules leave the machine, and the die holes are cleared before the next cycle.

The exact inspection, rejection, feeding, and control functions depend on the selected machine configuration. Define these functions in the technical specification when they affect batch release or line integration.

Match the Machine to the Capsule and Fill Material

Capsule size is only the first fit check. Specify the capsule supplier, shell material, size, color, locking style, and dimensional tolerances because these details affect orientation, separation, closing, and change-part selection.

A target such as “500 mg per capsule” does not define the required machine setup. The same capsule volume can hold different weights when powder bulk density changes. Flowability, cohesion, compressibility, particle size, lubrication, and static behavior also affect how consistently powder enters and leaves the dosing system.

Pellet projects need the pellet size distribution, shape, surface behavior, and target count or weight. These properties influence flow and dosing repeatability, especially when a capsule combines more than one fill component.

Changing capsule size normally requires corresponding change parts and setup. Include every planned capsule size in the quotation request so the machine and change-part scope can be defined together.

What to Send for Model Selection and Quotation

Provide the following project information with your inquiry:

• Capsule supplier, shell material, size, color, and locking style
• Powder or pellet description, bulk density, particle-size range, and flow behavior
• Target fill weight and permitted variation
• Batch size, required good capsules per hour or shift, and operating shifts
• Planned capsule sizes and the number of product changeovers
• Available electrical supply, compressed air, vacuum, dust extraction, and room conditions
• Required cleaning approach, product-contact materials, controls, records, and qualification documents
• Upstream material-feeding method and downstream polishing, inspection, counting, or packaging equipment
• Destination country and the standards that apply to the finished project

Representative capsule shells and fill material can make the selection discussion more specific. Identify any substitute material that would be used for testing when the production formulation cannot be supplied.
