The company boasts of having more than 20 years of experience in designing filling machineries that is quite evident with the technology involved in developing the manufacturer of automatic capsule filling machine that securely fills and closes the capsules.

The machine control is by means of a programmable logic controller with touch enabled “Siemens” make human machine interface with a very user friendly operable front end. To meet the needs of different applications, fully automatic capsule machine is available in various models. The machine is able to produce a minimum of 25,000 capsules that can go as high as 90,000 capsules. To ensure that the entire operation is devoid of any complications, it is recommended to have a 3-phase supply powering the filling machine. The fact that it consists of dosing tools that perform precise operations makes it achieve high efficiency. This has led to an increase in presence of capsule filler in numerous pharmaceutical industries. The fully automatic capsule filler or capsule fillers have their frames manufactured from stainless steel 316/304 to ensure durability and stability.

There are several equipments in the automatic capsule filling line machine that aids in making the entire operation highly efficient. Some of the capsule filling line machines are Automatic capsule sorter elevator, Metal detector, Automatic capsule polishing machine, Empty capsule ejector, Damage capsule sorter. Empty capsules of finest quality are fed to the capsule filling machine hopper with the help of empty capsule sorter. with the help of sorting plate, the defective capsules are sorted effectively and perfect sized capsules are transported to the hopper of capsule filling machine with the ease of operation. The metal detectors spot any trace of metal in the content. Any dust particles that get stuck to the surface of the capsules are removed with capsule polisher & rejecter. Some of the capsules may get distorted during the operation and hence they must be removed. A damage capsule sorted is provided in the line to perform this desired operation.

Operating Procedure of Automatic Capsule Filling Machine


  • Empty capsules are fed in the hopper
  • One row of capsules released in rectifier track
  • The direction of capsules is rectified and they are pushed into the hole with caps on upper side
  • The capsules are sent to different workstations with the help of a turntable
  • Capsules are separated with the help of a vacuum
  • Capsule bodies are filled with the powder and pins push the powder
  • Capsule bodies and caps are rejoined
  • Non-separated capsules are ejected
  • The holes are cleaned for the next operation cycle

Benefits of Automatic Capsule Filling Machine
