Is the loading ring interchangeable with other brands?

Yes, the SF-40 uses industry-standard 300-hole capsule loading plates.

What is required to change from powder to pellet dosing?

Pellet dosing uses a separate dosing disc and feed assembly. The changeover is mechanical, takes approximately one shift including cleaning, and the machine is re-qualified for the new format under an abbreviated OQ.

How are empty or faulty capsules rejected?

Capsules failing rectification are separated before the dosing station, and unlocked or deformed capsules are removed after closing. Rejects discharge to a lockable container so reconciliation can be completed at batch close.

What warranty applies to this machine?

Machines are supplied with a 12-month warranty from commissioning covering manufacturing defects, with wear parts and tooling excluded. Extended cover is available under an annual maintenance contract, which also fixes response times for breakdown attendance.

What documentation is supplied at handover?

Handover includes the operation and maintenance manual, electrical and pneumatic schematics, the spare parts list with part numbers, material test certificates for contact parts, sensor calibration certificates and the completed qualification dossier.

How is fill weight verified during a run?

Weight is checked at start-up, at every 30-minute interval and at each shift change against the in-process specification. Machines specified with an inline checkweigher record every capsule and divert out-of-tolerance units automatically, writing the result to the batch record.

Overview

About the SF-40 Semi-Automatic Capsule Filling Machine

The **SF-40 Semi-Automatic Capsule Filling Machine** is designed for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production units requiring high operational flexibility for small-to-medium batch sizes. Featuring an independent dual capsule rectification loader and a variable-speed auger dosing turntable, the SF-40 allows precise fill weight adjustments on-the-fly.

Dual Capsule Loading Stations: Simultaneous capsule feeding and rectification reduces operator cycle time by 40% compared to single-loader systems.

Variable Frequency Auger Dosing: Stepless speed control for the powder feed auger delivers consistent fill density.

Automatic Capsule Rectification: Capsules are oriented and separated before dosing, with unrectified units removed ahead of the filling station.

Recipe-Driven Changeover: Size and format parameters are stored per product, so a changeover recalls the qualified settings rather than relying on manual adjustment.
