Capsules are a common dosage form widely used in the fields of pharmaceuticals, health supplements, and nutritional supplements. In order to produce high-quality capsule products, capsule filling machines play a crucial role. This guide aims to explore the types, sizes, and filling techniques of capsule filling machines to help you understand how to choose the equipment that best suits your needs and optimize the capsule production process.     The main types of capsules are hard-shell capsules (also known as pre-formed capsules) and softgels. Hard-Shell Capsules: They are widely used in the pharmaceutical and health supplement industry due to their ease of manufacturing, low cost, stability, and compatibility with a variety of drug formulations. The investment cost for capsule filling production equipment is relatively low, allowing for rapid and large-scale production. 1.Structure: Composed of two cylindrical shells, a cap and a body, which can be locked together by an internal locking mechanism. 2.Material: Generally divided into "gelatin capsules," "vegetarian capsules," and "enteric capsules." (1) Gelatin capsules: Mainly made from gelatin (GEL), which is a hydrolysis product of collagen. It is extracted from animal skin, bones, and connective tissues, which are rich in collagen, especially pigskin, cowhide, fish bones, and fish skin. Its hydrolyzed properties and ease of absorption by the human body make it widely used as a raw material for capsule production. (2) Vegetarian capsules: Made from plant-based cellulose or other materials suitable for vegetarians (such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)), vegetarian capsules are suitable for vegetarians, those allergic to gelatin, and certain religious groups. (3) Enteric capsules: Designed to be insoluble in stomach acid, they release the drug once they reach the intestines and are made from materials that can withstand stomach acid, such as methacrylic acid copolymers. 3.Contents: The fill can typically consist of solid powders/granules, micro-pills, and liquids.     Softgels: Commonly used for drugs that are poorly soluble or unstable in solid form, they offer better bioavailability and convenience than traditional tablets or hard capsules. Softgels encapsulate the drug and shell together in a forming machine.   1.Structure: Softgels consist of a sealed, one-piece shell surrounding the contents. 2.Material: Softgels are also made from gelatin, but the formula includes plasticizers (such as glycerin or sorbitol) to make the capsule shell softer and more elastic. 3.Contents: Typically used to package fats, liquids, pastes, suspensions, etc.     Hard-shell capsules come in a variety of standard sizes, commonly including: 000, 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The size of the capsule is denoted by a number, with smaller numbers indicating larger capsules. The following table shows the approximate dimensions and capaciti...

Capsule filling machine, it also known as capsule filler machine or capsule filler, is an indispensable part in the pharmaceutical field. It is a mechanical equipment specially used to fill solid granule, powder or liquid ingredients into hollow capsule shells. It is usually used in the pharmaceutical industry and now is widely used in the manufacture of dietary supplements and other health products based on the popularity of health perspectives. This article will explore these models and their features in depth, hoping to bring you useful reference value based on your budget, production scale or site conditions.     Since the invention of the , with the continuous innovation of industry technology, there are now a variety of capsule machine models, which have been updated to adapt to different production needs. Following are the different types of capsule machines (1) Manual capsule machine (2) Semi-automatic capsule making machine (3) Fully automatic capsule filler Among them, fully automatic models are also divided into (1) Powder granule filling capsule machine (2) Hard capsule liquid filling machine   1. The most basic model: manual capsule machine This is the most basic compact machinery capsule filling, suitable for small production or home workshops or laboratories. Due to their simplicity and low cost, manual filling machines are commonly used by people in developing countries in the early stages of starting a business or in the early stages of drug development. It is determined by poor filling accuracy and extremely low production efficiency.     2. More advanced models: semi-automatic capsule filler machine The semi-automatic capsule filling machine is a more advanced equipment than the manual filling machine. It not only improves the production rate, but also reduces the waste of drugs caused by manual labor.     (1) Production efficiency: It can automatically complete the steps of capsule separation, filling and sealing, so the production efficiency is much higher than that of a manual filling machine.   (2) Easy operation: The operation and maintenance of the semi-automatic making capsule machine are simpler than that of the fully automatic model, and even non-skilled operators can use it easily.     (3) Versatility: Compared with manual capsule machines, the dosage of filling powder and granules can be accurately controlled by configuring different automatic feeders and stirring heads;     In addition, we have changed the situation that the semi-automatic capsules making machine could not fill liquid before by developing capsule liquid filling machine semi automatic with a special liquid feeding pump.   (4) Flexibility: The production capacity ranges from a few thousand capsules to 40,000 capsules per hour, so it can meet the needs of both small batch production and medium-scale production.   (5) Moderate cost: Compared with fully automatic encapsulatin...
