Here is some list of questions to consider when choosing a capsule filling machine.
1. Do you have ready–made raw materials to pack it into capsules, or do you need to prepare this raw material additionally (for example, to grind it into a homogeneous mass, or mix it with other powders)???
Capsules come in various standard sizes for example 00,0,1,2,3,4
2.Have you already decided on the size of the capsules that you will use ???
This is important in the selection of equipment!
3. How many capsules per hour do you plan to produce???
I suggest starting with the diameter of the tablets and their estimated thickness. If this is not an ordinary cylindrical tablet, then I want to understand its shape. This is necessary to select the press model. You also need to understand what kind of press performance in thousands of tablets per hour you need.
I want to draw your attention to one equipment and technology that will help you make a new business direction and expand the assortment. My company produces equipment and technology for producing round seamless capsules with oil inside.
To date, we have one machine and 2 technologies for obtaining the shell of these capsules - gelatin and from the hangar. Gelatin and agar capsules can be from 3 mm to 14 mm in diameter. There may be oil or fat inside. Now in Europe and other countries, people prefer healthy nutrition and treatment technologies.
