What is automatic capsule filling machine?
Automatic Capsule Filling Machine is suitable for filling powder/pellets in hard gelatin capsules. It adopts indexing motion and multi-position tamping method to complete capsule orientation, separation, filling, closing and ejection etc.
How do I load my own capsules?
Put the top half of the capsule over the bottom and press down. Once you’ve got the bottom of the capsule filled, gently replace the top of the capsule. Hold the bottom of the capsule gently in one hand, then use the other to press the top of the capsule down. Store the capsules in a cool, dark place.
