Industrial Capsule Filling Machine FAQ

An industrial capsule filling machine is an automated system designed for high-volume production of filled hard capsules. It can perform capsule feeding, separation, material dosing, capsule closing, and finished-product discharge efficiently.

The SFK-3000 has the highest rated capacity in this range, delivering up to 180,000 capsules per hour.

The main differences are rated production capacity and borehole quantity. SFK-1503 produces up to 92,000 capsules per hour, SFK-2500 up to 150,000, and SFK-3000 up to 180,000 capsules per hour.

The supplied specifications list hard capsule sizes from #00 to #5. Final compatibility should be confirmed according to the specific tooling and capsule shell materials.

Yes. Powder filling is included in the listed design. The powder properties, density, and target dosage must be evaluated before confirming the final dosing configuration.

Pellet filling is supported. Pellet diameter, bulk density, coating strength, friability, and target dosage should be evaluated using representative material samples.

Yes. Tablet filling is supported in the modular design. Tablet dimensions, the number of tablets per capsule, and capsule size must be verified in advance.

A multi-component combination may be achieved with an appropriate customized dosing arrangement. It should be technically evaluated prior to system configuration.

It means the machine can be configured for production projects requiring an OEB4 containment approach. Actual containment performance depends on the complete facility installation, operating procedures, and validation results.

The supplied specifications list RTP (Rapid Transfer Port) as an option for SFK-1503, SFK-2500, and SFK-3000 models. The port size and connection arrangement are confirmed in the technical proposal.

The machine designs reference cGMP and FDA standards for compliant manufacturing. Full regulatory compliance depends on final project configuration, validation documentation, and overall facility setup.

Yes. Material testing is highly recommended, particularly for coated pellets, micro-pellets, non-free-flowing powders, and dual-combination filling requirements.
