With a deep understanding of industry demands, Lodha provides reliable solutions for capsule filling, adjusted to meet the specific needs of businesses.
Capsule filling machines are an important component of the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food industries. These machines simplify and optimize the process of encapsulating powders, pellets, or granular materials into capsules, making sure high efficiency, consistency, and productivity. Among the wide range of capsule filling solutions available, automatic capsule filling machines and manual capsule filling machines stand out as two popular choices, providing to different production scales and requirements. In this we’ll explores the key differences between automatic capsule filling machines and manual capsule filling machines, providing you with a complete understanding to help you choose the right equipment for your application.
An automatic capsule filling machine is a technologically advanced piece of equipment designed for high-volume production. It automates the entire process of filling hard gelatin capsules with powders, pellets, or tablets. This type of machine is ideal for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries that require precision, speed, and minimal human intervention.
The process begins with the detection of empty hard gelatin capsules. These capsules are oriented correctly using advanced vacuum technology to make sure uniform alignment.
The capsules are separated into two halves—the cap and the body—using a controlled vacuum mechanism.
The bottom half (body) of the capsule is filled with the designated material, such as powder, pellets, or tablets. A pressing method is employed to achieve uniform filling, and the machine’s adjustable settings make sure precise weight control for each capsule.
The automatic capsule filling machine minimizes powder waste by maintaining an optimal distance between the dosing disk and the tamping plate, preventing excess material from escaping.
The machine’s sensors monitor the product hopper and the empty capsule hopper to maintain smooth operation. Defective capsules, such as those that fail to separate properly, are ejected efficiently using air controls.
Once filled, the caps are securely replaced onto the bodies, and the sealed capsules are ejected for further processing or packaging.
The Single Auger Powder Filling Machine (Model: LI-APF 1) is designed for filling dry syrups, powders, and granules into bottles at speeds up to 30 bottles per minute. It uses an auger system for accurate filling and features parts made from SS316, nylon, and HDPE for durability. The machine includes a built-in turntable for continuous bottle feeding and can easily adjust to different bottle sizes without needing extra parts.
A manual capsule filling machine is straightforward option designed for small-scale production or laboratory use. Unlike automatic machines, manual capsule fillers require human intervention at every stage of the process. These machines are commonly used by small businesses, start-ups, and researchers.
Empty capsules are placed into the capsule loader tray, which aligns and secures them in position.
Using a manual separation tool or vacuum mechanism, the capsules are split into their two halves—the cap and the body.
The bottom half (body) is placed in the filling plate, and powder or granular material is poured onto the plate. A scraper or tamping tool is used to press the material into the capsules.
To achieve the correct dosage, the filling process can be repeated multiple times, depending on the capsule size and material volume.
Once filled, the top half (cap) is replaced over the body. The manual capsule filling machine is then used to press and seal the capsules.
The filled and sealed capsules are ejected from the machine and collected for further processing.
