Operating Procedure

After starting the machine, the empty capsules in the hopper will be fed vertically into the magazine slot. With each machine stroke, the fingers of the magazine will release one row of capsules into the rectifier raceway. The horizontal fingers correct the capsules’ orientation, and the vertical fingers force the capsules into the segment’s hole, with all caps facing up. The capsules in the holes are delivered to each operating station in tandem with the turn table’s intermittent rotation.

• At the 1^st & 2^nd station, the vacuum system separates the capsules in position.
• At 3rd station, the lower segment with capsule body extends out ready for the filling.
• 4thstation uses to fill pellets.
• At the 5th station, the tamping pins push the pressed powder slug into capsule body.
• 6th station to re-joint cap & body segments.
• At 7th station non-separated capsule gets eject.
• At 8th station vertical pins pushing body of capsule into the cap for re-join and close the filled capsules.
• The 9th station is to eject the finished capsules.
• At the 10th station the holes of segments are cleaned by vacuum cleaner and compressed air. Then the segments are ready for next cycle of operation.
