Functional Description:
The AF-90T is a high capacity fully automatic capsule filling
machine that can fill a large variety of powder formulation into
hard gelatine capsules. The machine is formulation friendly and
it uses a tamping process to form a slug which is inserted into
the empty capsule. Pellet filling device is available as an
optional attachment.
Capsules are fed into the hopper and picked up in the lading
station by its reciprocation motion. After rectification the
capsules are separated by vacuum so that the bodies go into the
lower segment and the caps remain in the upper segment of the
bushes.
The powder is loaded into the hopper and transferred to the powder
tub by a stirrer. The tamping device gradually forms a slug by
a series of 5 tampings in the dosing disc. The 6'th stroke of the
tamping device ejects the slug into the body of the capsule.
The capsules are closed and locked by means of closing pins.
The locked length of the capsules can be adjusted by a fine
screw arrangement.An optional pellet filling system is available
that works on the volumetric system . The unique design ensures
no damage is caused to the pellets during the filling process.
