Filling of Hard gelatin capsules part 1, auger fill principle, vibratory fill principle

‪@thepharmaguidechannel‬ #pharmaceutics #capsules
The filling of hard gelatin capsules is an established technology, with equipment available ranging from that for very small-scale manual filling (e.g., Feton capsule filling machine), through intermediate-scale semi-automatic filling to large-scale fully automatic filling. Hard gelatin capsules can also be hand-filled one at a time, as done in a compounding pharmacy. The difference between the many methods available is the way in which the dose of material is measured into the capsule body.
The basic steps in filling hard gelatin capsules include:
1. Rectification of capsules (placing empty gelatin capsules on the removable plate with bodies facing downward).
2. Separation of caps from bodies.
3. Dosing of fill material (The body is filled with the formulation manually using a plastic spatula, and the excess powder is removed).
4. Replacement of caps/ closing capsule shells and
5. Ejection of filled capsules
On a small-scale manufacture, hard gelatin capsules can be filled manually using a manual or a hand-operated capsule machine.
Large scale production involves the use of machines that come in great variety of shapes and sizes, varying from semi- to fully automatic and ranging in output from 3000 to 150 000 per hour.
Powder filling is accomplished by either of the two dosing devices: dosator device or dosing disk/tamping device.

I have worked with various filling machines, but the Bosch GKF 400 is one of the best old school machines out there. Yes its meant for low quantity (40 000/h), but it's nearly indestructible!
