Chinese pharmaceutical machinery manufacturer Finetech has introduced an upgraded version of its NJP 1200 capsule filling machine, incorporating new technology that allows for the fusion of soft capsules and granules into a single hard capsule.

According to the company, its new capsule device is currently the only model on the Chinese market that implements this function. 

Finetech General Manager Tony Tao said, "Our upgraded 1200 capsule filling machine complies with cGMP standards and is equipped for both softgel and granule filling. Furthermore, it features advanced Schneider servo motor control, making it easier for operators to control operating parameters, change molds, and maintain parts."

The new generation capsule filling equipment uses quantitative filling technology, ensuring precise and consistent dosing of particles in each capsule. It also includes micro-dosing capabilities, dispensing as little as 5 mg. With a production capacity of over 55,000 capsules per hour, the machine is designed for pharmaceutical companies, R&D institutions, and the batch production of health capsules.

Furthermore, the soft capsule filling mold can be modified to accommodate varying capsule filling requirements, making it suitable for filling soft cap capsules with higher hardness and smaller sizes.

The machine integrates a Siemens PLC system with a touchscreen human-machine interface (HMI), giving operators full control to change operating parameters and monitor the filling process.

Other features include a 3D adjustment mechanism, an automatic lubrication system, advanced dust removal capabilities, a vacuum cleaning system, and a sealed environment to ensure that every capsule meets GMP standards.
