Automatic Capsule Filling Machines: Output, Power & How to Choose

Automatic Capsule Filling Machines: Output, Power & How to Choose

An automatic capsule filling machine runs the full fill cycle — capsule feeding, separation, powder filling, joining, and ejection — continuously, so its output is set by the machine's rated speed rather than by hand labor. Choosing one comes down to matching its output class, capsule-size range, and tooling to your production. This guide covers the practical selection criteria — output, capsule size, powder fit, tooling and changeover, power, and footprint — and shows where each model in our range lands by nominal, model-rated output. If you're still deciding between machine classes overall, start with our broader automatic capsule filling...

Manual Capsule Filling Machines by Hole Count: How to Choose (100, 187, 400, 600, 800)

Manual Capsule Filling Machines by Hole Count: How to Choose (100, 187, 400, 600, 800)

Capsule Filler + Capsule Bundles: What to Buy Together to Start Filling

Capsule Filler + Capsule Bundles: What to Buy Together to Start Filling

To fill your own capsules, you need two things that work together: empty capsules and a filler sized to match them. A capsule filler + capsule bundle pairs them for you, so you start with components that already fit — no guessing whether your capsules and your filler plate are the same size. This guide explains what's in a bundle, why size compatibility matters, and when a bundle makes more sense than buying the pieces separately. What's in a Capsule + Filler Bundle A bundle brings together the two core components you need to start encapsulating: A capsule filler —...
