Loading
Dual-loader semi-automatic capsule filler delivering up to 40,000 capsules/hour for pilot scale and medium clinical trial batches.
25,000 to 40,000 capsules/hour (Size 00 to 5)
The SF-40 Semi-Automatic Capsule Filling Machine is designed for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production units requiring high operational flexibility for small-to-medium batch sizes. Featuring an independent dual capsule rectification loader and a variable-speed auger dosing turntable, the SF-40 allows precise fill weight adjustments on-the-fly.

All configurations
Confirms that the SF-40 design, as specified, meets the user requirement specification before manufacture begins.
GMP configurations
Documents that the machine is installed to drawing, connected to the specified utilities and calibrated.
GMP configurations
Challenges the machine across its operating ranges, alarms and interlocks to show it performs as specified.
Customer-executed; product-specific acceptance criteria
Executed by the customer with our support: three consecutive commercial-scale batches with fill weight and capsule integrity within specification.
All configurations; customer witnessing optional
Witnessed at our works before dispatch, so defects are corrected where the parts, tools and engineers are.
All configurations
Repeats the critical FAT checks at the customer site after installation and utility connection.
