There are all kinds of machines available in the market, which can make the work of the pharmaceutical companies easier. Some of them are the Capsule Polishing machine and the Capsule Filling Machine. While the polishing machine is quite useful for polishing the capsules, the filling machine is used for filling inside the capsules.
What are the uses of filling machines?
The automatic filling machines are fully automatic, and do not require any kind of human intervention. It goes through an entire process of capsule orientation, capsule opening, filling up of powder in the capsule, and closing of the capsules. So, different types of granules, powder and pellets can be fed into these machines. The filling weights can be easily adjusted without the changing of any parts.
How does a Capsule filling machine operate?
The empty shells will be pushed into the filling machine, where they will be loaded with the medicine. The empty shells are first loaded into the capsule sorter elevator. The filling of the powder will be done, as per the powder and pellets form. After the medicine is filled, the cap will be sealed on top of the body. Once the capsules are filled, they will be ejected in the next stage, where they will go through a process of polishing.
The filling machines can be highly useful for filling up medicinal powder, natural food, health food, etc. The machines also have sensors, which can ensure the continuous flow of the powder and the empty capsules, so that the machine does not get interrupted in between.
In the Capsule Polishing machine, the capsules are conveyed with the help of soft nylon brush through the machine. This brush is useful in removing the powder and dust from the capsules. While doing the polishing, some of the capsules might come out loose, which might become defective capsules. So, the machine also makes use of vacuum for carrying away and removing the debris, such as loose caps. The good capsules will be collected at the empty capsule sorter.
Basically, the machines are divided into feeding section, inspection section and polishing section. In the feeding section, the capsules are passed through the vibrator, where some of the powder gets collected in the collector, due to vibration. In the Inspection section, the capsules are inspected minutely and are moved on the conveyor belt, and the defective capsules are removed from the belt. The capsule polishing machine has a filter cloth, spiral nylon brush, and a powder collector area. The capsules travels from end to end of the brush, where they get cleaned and polished by the filter cloth and the nylon bristles. So, this makes the capsules polished, clean and glossy.
