Introduction
The NJP-1200C capsule filling machine is an advanced automatic capsule filling system widely used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and health supplement industries. It ensures high precision, efficiency, and compliance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards. This article explores its working principle and key advantages.
Working Principle of the NJP-1200C Capsule Filling Machine
The NJP-1200C operates through a fully automated process, ensuring accurate dosing and encapsulation of powders, granules, or pellets. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of its operation:
Capsule Loading
Empty capsules (size 00# to 5#) are loaded into the machine’s capsule hopper, where an orientation system ensures they are correctly aligned (body down, cap up).
Capsule Separation
A vacuum-based separation mechanism splits the capsule bodies and caps, allowing the bodies to move to the filling station while the caps remain in position for rejoining later.
Powder Filling
The dosing system, equipped with precision dosing discs or pistons, measures and fills the powder into the capsule bodies. The machine ensures uniform fill weight with minimal variation (±1-3%).
Capsule Closing
After filling, the capsule bodies and caps are rejoined under gentle pressure to ensure a secure seal without damage.
Automated Control
The machine features a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and touch-screen interface for easy operation, allowing adjustments to speed, fill weight, and capsule size.
Advantages of the NJP-1200C Capsule Filling Machine
High Efficiency & Speed
With a production capacity of up to 1,200 capsules per minute, the NJP-1200C significantly boosts productivity compared to semi-automatic machines.
Precision Dosing
Advanced dosing mechanisms ensure high filling accuracy (typically ±1-3% variation), critical for pharmaceutical compliance.
Wide Material Compatibility
Handles various formulations, including powders, granules, pellets, and micro-tablets, making it versatile for different industries.
GMP Compliance & Easy Cleaning
Constructed with stainless steel (304 or 316 grade) and designed for easy disassembly, meeting stringent hygiene and regulatory standards.
User-Friendly Operation
The touch-screen HMI (Human-Machine Interface) allows for quick adjustments, real-time monitoring, and minimal manual intervention.
Low Maintenance & Durability
Robust construction and high-quality components reduce downtime and extend the machine’s lifespan.
Minimal Capsule Damage
Gentle handling mechanisms ensure low breakage rates, reducing waste and improving yield.
Conclusion
The NJP-1200C capsule filling machine is a reliable, high-performance solution for industrial-scale capsule production. Its automation, precision, speed, and compliance make it an ideal choice for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers seeking efficiency and quality.
