After the capsules get separated through the above process, loading rings are pulled apart that releases only the bottom section. In the filling part of the machine, this bottom section is stationed along with loading rings after which the operator begins the process of filling. The capsules rotates below the filler as they move across the capsules. With the help of corkscrew, these powders are evenly pushed down into the capsules. Hence, it is made sure that every capsule is similar in weight and size. The loading rings are then later, placed back together as they were before in the sealing section of the capsule filling machine. The guards are closed by the operator, once these rings get aligned. For the purpose of sealing the capsules, air pressure is used after the closure of guard and then the capsules are finally removed from the loading ring.

The filling line accommodates a capsule polishing machine that consists of a set of corkscrew brush bristles and a dust extractor unit. Any presence of dust particles are removed with the help of vacuum to achieve capsules of superlative quality.
