After starting up the machine, the empty capsules in hopper will be fed into the slot of magazine vertically. With each stroke of machine, the fingers of magazine will release one row of capsules into rectifier raceway. The horizontal fingers rectify the direction of capsules and vertical fingers push the capsules into hole of segment with all caps on the up position. The capsules in the holes are sent to each working station along with the intermittent rotation of the turn table.
• At the 1st & 2nd station, the vacuum system separates the capsules in position.
• At 3rd station, the lower segment with capsule body extends out ready for the filling.
• 4th station uses to fill pellets.
• At the 5th station, the tamping pins push the pressed powder slug into capsule body.
• 6th station to re-joint cap & body segments.
• At 7th station non-separated capsule get eject.
• At 8th station vertical pins pushing body of capsule into the cap for re-join and close the filled capsules.
• The 9th station is to eject the finished capsules.
• At the 10th station the holes of segments are cleaned by vacuum cleaner and compressed air. Then the segments are ready for next cycle of operation.
The powder from a SS hopper entered to a chamber of dosing plate & temping pins for dosing, the height of the powder is controlled at chamber by a material level sensor. Tamping device is work by a 6-working station of intermittent mechanism, there are 6 groups of standard holes on dosing disc. The powder filled in holes was made of a slug that reaches the weight of dose after 5 tamped. At the 6th working station the slug pushed by tamping pin into capsule body. Adjusting the height of tamping pin holder can be changed the filling weight of powder.
The best material for making automatic capsule fillers is stainless-steel.
Stainless steel is the best medium for making automatic capsule filling machine because of the following:
• It is corrosion resistant and thus maintaining a clean capsule filling process.
• Apart from that, it is a durable material that will serve you for a longer period
• It also has very high tensile strength thus making the machine stronger
