CAPSULE FILLING APPLICATIONS

Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical, and Herbal Powder Applications

Customized dosing configurations and handling systems engineered to match the specific physical properties and requirements of your formulation.

Powder Capsule Filling Equipment

Application Breakdown

Review key considerations for different material categories before finalizing your equipment configuration.

01

Pharmaceutical Powder Capsule Filling

For pharmaceutical powder projects, confirm formulation properties, target dosage, empty-capsule type, validation requirements, and production capacity before finalizing the equipment.

02

Nutraceutical Powder Capsule Filling

Nutraceutical powder products may include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, probiotics, botanical blends, and other supplement formulations. A material review is recommended before selecting the dosing configuration.

03

Herbal Powder Capsule Filling

Herbal powders may have different flowability and fill-weight characteristics from conventional pharmaceutical powders. The stated filling-accuracy reference is ±4% for herbal materials.

04

Fine Powder Capsule Filling Equipment

Fine powders should be assessed for dust behavior, flowability, static tendency, and handling requirements. The technical proposal should define the required feeding, dust-control, cleaning, and maintenance arrangement.

What Information We Need for an Accurate Quotation

To help our engineering team confirm the right dosing mechanism and provide a precise factory proposal, please prepare the following parameters:

  • Material Name & Primary Application
  • Target Capsule Size (e.g., #0, #00)
  • Target Fill Weight per Capsule (mg)
  • Bulk Density & Particle Size
  • Moisture Content & Flow Characteristics
  • Material Behavior (Free-flowing, Sticky, or Fine)
  • Required Production Speed (caps/hr)
  • Factory Voltage & Destination Country

Providing accurate material characteristics ensures we match the correct tamping pin clearances and dosing disk thickness for your project.

Selecting the Right Machine by Production Requirement

Your RequirementRecommended NJP Range
Small-scale automatic powder fillingNJP-400 or NJP-600
Medium-output productionNJP-800 or NJP-1200
High-speed powder capsule fillingNJP-2500
Industrial-scale powder capsule lineNJP-3200 or NJP-3800

Do not select a model only by its maximum speed. Consider actual production shifts, material behavior, planned downtime, cleaning frequency, capsule-size changes, and downstream packaging capacity.

Fine & Sticky Powder Engineering Solutions

Cohesive or ultra-fine powders present flowability and dust management challenges. We provide specialized mechanical and pneumatic modifications to ensure uninterrupted operation.

Integrated Hardware Upgrades:
  • Fully enclosed dosing station with negative-pressure dust extraction
  • Positive-pressure air-jet nozzle system for automatic tamping pin cleaning
  • Teflon-coated hoppers and custom agitation paddles for sticky formulas
  • Enclosed vacuum feeding line to eliminate manual dust hazard
Engineering Note: Custom tamping pin clearances and anti-tack coatings are engineered based on preliminary material flow tests.

Multi-Material & Combination Dosing Systems

For production lines processing versatile solid-dose forms, our capsule fillers accommodate modular dosing heads to handle multi-component formulations on a single machine.

Available Dosing Modules:
  • Precision pellet feeding unit with volumetric dosing disk
  • Micro-tablet insertion module for combination capsules
  • Dual-dosing system (Powder + Pellet or Pellet + Pellet)
  • Quick-changeover format parts for multi-size production

Operation, Cleaning, and Maintenance Support

A reliable capsule-filling line depends on correct operation, cleaning, routine inspection, and timely replacement of wear parts. Before operation, operators should follow the supplied manual and confirmed process settings for the actual formulation.

Recommended maintenance topics include:
1 Routine cleaning after production
2 Inspection of capsule separation and filling areas
3 Checking vacuum performance
4 Monitoring dosing-disc adjustment
5 Reviewing change parts when changing capsule sizes
6 Keeping a suitable spare-parts inventory
7 Recording production performance and troubleshooting events

FAQ

The final price depends on the selected output model, capsule molds, powder characteristics, feeding requirements, utility standard, auxiliary equipment, spare-parts package, and shipping destination.

Pharmaceutical powders, nutraceutical powders, herbal blends, and other dry capsule formulations can be evaluated. Material testing is recommended for difficult, fine, sticky, or low-flow powders.

NJP-400 and NJP-600 are suitable options for smaller automatic production requirements. Select the final model according to actual output and material behavior.

NJP-2500, NJP-3200, and NJP-3800 are intended for higher-output production. The right choice depends on your hourly output target and downstream line capacity.

Pellet and granule applications can be evaluated separately. Provide material and dosage information before confirming the final configuration.

The NJP series supports capsule sizes from 00# to 5#.

Dust-control requirements depend on your powder, layout, and final machine configuration. Confirm the included equipment and performance requirements in the technical proposal.
