Before choosing a capsule-filling machine, consider these essential factors:
One of the most important factors is how many capsules the machine can produce in a given period. Machines designed for large-scale production can handle tens of thousands of capsules per hour, whereas smaller machines cater to more modest production needs.
Capsule-filling machines are used to handle various materials, such as powders, granules, and liquids. You need a machine that can handle the specific materials you work with to ensure consistency in production.
Precision is especially critical in industries like pharmaceuticals, where dosage control is vital. Machines that include built-in quality control features such as weight detection and automated rejection systems for improperly filled capsules offer significant advantages.
User-friendly machines with intuitive interfaces allow for faster setup and operation, while modular designs make cleaning and maintenance easier, reducing downtime.
Ensure the machine you choose meets regulatory standards like GMP and CE. These certifications guarantee that the machine complies with international safety and hygiene standards, essential for pharmaceutical-grade production.
The GKF 2600 is designed for large-scale production and can process up to 156,600 capsules per hour. This machine excels in high-volume pharmaceutical operations, handling both powders and liquids with great precision.
One of its standout features is its integrated weight detection system, which ensures that each capsule is filled accurately. The GKF 2600’s versatility and advanced quality control systems make it a top choice for companies with large-scale production needs.
