Technical Principle

Process Flow

01

Gravity Feeding

Capsules enter directly from the filler discharge chute via an adjustable gravity inlet grid.

02

Spiral Polishing

Rotary medical-grade nylon brushes shift shells along a continuous spiral track to wipe residues.

03

Vacuum Extraction

A negative pressure suction line instantly evacuates airborne powder through the perforated cage.

04

Air-Jet Sorting

An aerodynamic sorting module uses compressed air to continuously blast loose caps and empty shells away.

05

Metal Inspection

Polished products slide straight into a coupled metal detector to isolate microscopic contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expert answers regarding production efficiency, cGMP compliance, and line integration

Production & Throughput Efficiency

Yes, absolutely. Our automatic capsule polishers feature universal compatibility, handling standard pharmaceutical sizes from 000# to 5# without requiring size-specific changeover parts. Thanks to our tool-free quick-release architecture, adjusting the machine's incline and speed for a new batch takes less than 10 minutes, maximizing your cleanroom uptime.

The UR-JP (Horizontal) model delivers an efficiency of 180,000 - 240,000 pcs/h, while the UR-3A (Vertical Elevating) model reaches up to 300,000 pcs/h. Both series feature stepless frequency variable speed control, allowing them to synchronize flawlessly with any modern high-speed automatic capsule filling machine (such as the NJP series) without causing material bottlenecks.

The machine utilizes an aerodynamic inline sorting device driven by compressed air. As capsules pass through the track, an air-jet mechanism automatically separates and deletes non-compliant items—including empty shells, loose caps, split bodies, and severely underweight capsules—guaranteeing 100% batch integrity before primary packaging.

Our integrated aerodynamic sorting system achieves an accuracy rate of ≥99.9%. By precisely calibrating the compressed air pressure and grid gap parameters, it effectively isolates lightweight, unseparated cap-bodies, and empty shells without triggering false rejections of fully-dosed, compliant capsules.

Formulations & Material Compatibility

Yes. For sensitive formulations like micro-pellets or timed-release granules, we utilize CNC-balanced, medical-grade high-density nylon brushes. Combined with an adjustable incline angle and variable speed settings, the polishing track provides a gentle, non-destructive, 360-degree wiping action that guarantees zero shell breakage or leakage.

Completely. HPMC and gelatin capsule shells have different structural rigidity and moisture sensitivities. By fine-tuning the rotary brush speed and the machine's inclination, you can optimize the product dwell time inside the cylinder, ensuring a flawless, mirror-like finish across all capsule materials without surface scratching.

To combat static buildup—especially common with highly hygroscopic or fine powder formulations—we offer an optional Active Anti-Static Ionization System. It neutralizes static charges on both the feeding hopper and the brush track, preventing separated airborne particles from re-adhering and ensuring a clean discharge.

Regulatory Compliance & Sanitation

Yes, fully. All product-contact parts are fabricated from premium, certified Stainless Steel 316L (SS316L) with a polished surface roughness of Ra < 0.4μm to eliminate any risk of powder residue or chemical reaction. Non-contact structural housings are built from robust SS304. Full validation documentation support (IQ/OQ) is available upon request.

Cross-contamination prevention is core to our design engineering. The entire horizontal cylinder and brush rollers can be fully disassembled without using any tools within 5 minutes. The modular components allow for direct washing, ultrasonic cleaning, or thorough chemical wipe-downs, dramatically cutting down batch-to-batch turnover times.

Our medical-grade nylon brushes and micro-perforated stainless steel sorting cylinders are engineered for industrial durability. Under standard 2-shift daily production environments, the polishing brushes maintain performance for 12 to 18 months before requiring standard replacement, while the SS316L solid screens can last for several years under correct operational care.

Our standard capsule polishing series features a tightly sealed enclosure design that minimizes airborne dust release in the cleanroom. For facilities processing highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs) or requiring advanced dust containment, we can upgrade the line with specialized vacuum seals and continuous pressure monitoring to safely meet strict dust-tight criteria.

Yes. To simplify your facility audit and quality control workflows, URmachine provides a comprehensive documentation package upon request. This includes full material certificates for SS316L, FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) protocols, and comprehensive IQ/OQ (Installation/Operational Qualification) templates to guarantee a quick, regulatory-compliant launch on your production floor.

Line Integration & Ancillary Systems

Yes, an external vacuum extraction unit is required to continuously remove separated dust. The UR-JP requires a minimum suction volume of 2.7 m³/min, while the UR-3A requires 3.0 m³/min. We can provide a synchronized, low-noise industrial vacuum collector equipped with a HEPA H14 filtration system that traps 99.97% of micro-powders.

Absolutely. The discharge chute of our capsule polisher is engineered to couple directly with high-sensitivity pharmaceutical metal detectors. This creates a compact, inline "Polishing-Sorting-Metal Inspection" cleanroom node, ensuring your final products are free from both cosmetic defects and microscopic metallic contaminants.

Yes. Both the vertical and horizontal series are equipped with industrial connection interfaces that support seamless signal synchronization with upstream capsule filling machines. In the event of a downstream line backup or a vacuum extraction failure, the safety interlock logic triggers an immediate alert to pause feeding, effectively preventing material pile-ups or equipment wear.

Service, Support & Global Logistics

All URmachine capsule polishers come with a 1-year comprehensive warranty. For international clients, we provide 24/7 priority remote technical assistance via encrypted video diagnostic links, handling troubleshooting or operational tuning within 24 hours. Replacement components and consumable wear parts are dispatched via top-tier express air couriers to secure minimum downtime for your plant.
