UBM‑150B Capsule Polisher: Vertical Polishing & Elevating Machine for Pharmaceutical Production
In modern pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing, capsule surface cleaning, dust removal and defect screening are critical quality‑control steps right after capsule filling. The UBM‑150B Capsule Polisher is a high‑performance vertical capsule polishing and elevating machine built for inline production lines. It combines capsule polishing, material elevating and automatic defective‑capsule sorting in one compact unit, helping manufacturers achieve continuous, cGMP‑compliant capsule finishing before sorting, metal detection and packaging.
Unlike standalone capsule polishers or simple capsule elevators, the UBM‑150B vertical capsule polisher is designed for seamless line integration. Its feeding inlet can connect to nearly all mainstream capsule filling machine models, while the discharge outlet easily links with capsule sorters and metal detectors. This configuration builds a complete automated workflow: capsule filling → polishing & elevating → defective capsule sorting → metal detection, cutting manual handling and lowering cross‑contamination risks for high‑volume pharmaceutical production.
Core Features of UBM‑150B Capsule Polishing Machine
Engineered with modern pharmaceutical manufacturing concepts and proven advanced technologies, this capsule polisher delivers strong flexibility, hygiene performance and operational stability for hard‑capsule processing.
- Dual polishing & elevating function The machine executes capsule surface polishing and vertical material lifting simultaneously. It reserves proper height space for downstream equipment layout, offering high flexibility for whole production‑line configuration without extra capsule conveying devices.
- 360° rotatable inlet and outlet Both feeding inlet and discharging outlet support full 360‑degree circular adjustment. Operators can align connections with upstream and downstream machines freely. This saves valuable clean‑room floor space and simplifies on‑site installation for existing production lines.
- Built‑in automatic capsule sorting Equipped with vacuum‑driven sorting mechanism, the UBM‑150B automatically rejects under‑dosed capsules, empty capsules, fractured shells and cap‑body separated capsules during polishing. Defect screening runs inline without halting production, improving finished‑capsule quality consistency.
- Quick‑joint fast‑assembly system Adopts fast‑connect clamp structure for major assemblies. Operators can complete disassembly and reassembly rapidly without special tools. It reduces downtime for batch change‑over and routine equipment maintenance.
- Pharmaceutical‑grade 316L stainless‑steel wetted parts All components directly contacting capsules and powder are manufactured from 316L stainless steel or equivalent materials meeting modern pharmaceutical safety standards. The material resists chemical cleaning agents and avoids product contamination, complying with strict drug‑manufacturing requirements.
- Detachable main‑shaft brush, full‑range dead‑spot‑free cleaning The polishing brush mounted on the main shaft can be fully detached. Every contact surface is accessible for thorough washing and sanitization. Zero cleaning blind spots fully satisfy cGMP requirements for pharmaceutical processing equipment.
