Seven critical steps for the automatic capsule filling working process
Step1: Capsules rectification
There is a special mechanism that spread the capsules on the holes.
And all the capsules need further rectification as it may be body end downward or cap end downwards when falling.
Step Two: Separating the Body from Caps
The diameter of the capsule body and caps are different and with vacuum the capsule will be separated.
Next, the capsule caps will be stuck to the upper part of the capsule tray and capsule bodies will go downwards.
Step Three: Filling Medication
Once the filling rod is lifted from the hole, the box with the powder will go around and all the powder there will go into the mold holes.
Step Four: Wasted capsules rejection
A big advantage of the machine is if the capsule cap is not removed from the capsule body, it will be removed automatically out of the mold and the capsule will go to the collecting bags.
While the capsule caps and bodies that are separated will be transferred to the next station.
Step Five: Capsule locking
The baffle plate above the capsule tray and the pin below the tray begin to move to make the capsule be locked.
Step Six: Filled capsuled Locking
The capsules will be outside the capsule tray. Later compressed air will remove the ejected capsules in the exit.
Step Seven: Cleaning
There is a special powerful vaccum system that will suck into the cleaner and will ensure that the hole of the mold is clean. This way the mashine will be ready for the operation.
