Why Choose a Pellet Capsule Filling Machine for Granules?

Find out why URMACHINE Factory will be the best option! High dosing accuracy, gentle pellet protection, and high-containment technology are targeted directly to your production requirements.

  • ☀️ Zero-Damage Pellet Handling
  • ⚙️ Precision Multi-Dosing Flexibility
  • 💼 High Containment & Easy Cleaning

Engineered specifically for sensitive micro-pellets and coated granules, the machine utilizes smooth fluidization-style feeding mechanisms. This eliminates pellet abrasion, crushing, or coating damage during high-speed transfer, preserving release characteristics.

Modular dosing stations allow for multi-component capsule filling—including pellet+powder, pellet+pellet, or micro-tablet combinations. Precision dosing discs ensure tight fill-weight tolerances across various particle densities.

Features dust-tight enclosure design and option for RTP (Rapid Transfer Port) integration, making it ideal for high-potency formulations requiring strict containment (up to OEB4 level) and operator protection.

Designed for rapid changeovers between capsule sizes (#000 through #5) and easy disassembly of product-contact components, simplifying cleaning validation and minimizing downtime between batch runs.

Supplied directly from experienced manufacturing facilities, backed by complete material testing, customized dosing disc engineering, FAT/SAT qualification support, and readily available spare parts.

Choose an SFK configuration when the project requires pellet filling, contained material handling or RTP transfer.

Cleaning and Product Changeover

Cleaning requirements should be considered before selecting the machine, especially when several formulations are produced on the same equipment.

The technical assessment should cover:
1 Product-contact components
2 Dosing-system disassembly
3 Capsule-size change parts
4 Cleaning access inside the enclosure
5 RTP container cleaning
6 Residue and waste collection
7 Cross-contamination control
8 Cleaning validation
9 Product-changeover procedures

Frequently Asked Questions

The price depends on the selected SFK model, production capacity, material type, dosing configuration, OEB4 containment requirements, RTP components, capsule-size tooling and auxiliary equipment. A final quotation should be prepared after reviewing the product information.

Yes. Pellet is one of the confirmed filling types in the SFK specification. Pellet size, coating strength, target dosage and capsule size should still be evaluated before the configuration is finalized.

Granule applications must be evaluated according to particle size, bulk density, flowability, moisture and dosing requirements. Send representative material for testing before ordering.

Coated pellets can be evaluated, but their coating strength and breakage sensitivity must be tested. Machine speed and dosing configuration should be selected according to the actual product.

Micro-pellet projects require an assessment of particle size, static behavior, density and material flow. A sample trial is recommended before confirming compatibility.

A powder-and-pellet combination may be possible with the appropriate filling configuration. It should not be treated as a standard feature of every model without technical confirmation.

Tablet is included in the SFK filling design. Tablet dimensions, quantity per capsule and the selected capsule size must be confirmed.

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

The supplied specifications list RTP as the transfer system for all seven models. The interface size and connection with other equipment should be confirmed in the technical proposal.

Select the model according to required output, filling material, capsule size and containment requirements. Rated capacities range from 25,200 to 180,000 capsules per hour.

The specification lists cGMP/FDA/GMP standards, but this should not be interpreted as FDA certification. Regulatory acceptance depends on documentation, installation, validation and the buyer’s manufacturing process.

Yes. Provide representative material, empty capsules, capsule size, target dosage, required capacity and material safety information where applicable.
