AUTOMATIC EMPTY HARD SHELL GELATIN CAPSULE MAKING MACHINE

The machine is fully automatic and makes gelatin capsule bodies and caps by a dipping process and joins them in a completely automatic process. The pin Bars, in-groups of six are dipped into gelatin, ensures even spread of gelatin over the pins and then raised to the upper deck. After four cycles, when 30 body and 30 caps are assembled on the upper deck, the bars are automatically pushed through on upper drying kiln. From the upper deck, the groups of pin bars are automatically lowered by an elevator to a lower deck and pushed through lower drying ducts. The Pin Bars are now deposited on platforms, one for cap bars and one for body bars and pushed into the automatic section. At the automatic section, the capsules are stripped from the pins by stripper jaws and moves forward into the collets. These collets rotate, while cutting knives trim each capsule to its proper length. A vacuum removes all trimmings. The collet moves these capsule halves to the center of the machine, where they are pushed into stepped joiner blocks. The collets withdraw, leaving the joined capsules in the joiner blocks, from where ejector rods push them onto a conveyor belt and out of the machine. At this juncture, the pin bars move back towards their initial position, and as they do, two greaser’ heads move over the pins, applying a light film of lubricant. They are now ready to begin the dipping process once more.

The machine is built from high precision components having the desired metallurgical and heat treatment characteristics resulting in low wear and tear, low maintenance and longer life.
