Mid Speed Automatic
Capsule Filling Machine

Model UAF-1200C — Up to 72,000 Capsules/Hour.

The UAF-1200C fills hard gelatin capsules with powder, pellets, or granular materials at up to 72,000 capsules per hour — a mid-volume alternative to our high-speed UAF-2500C on the same core dosing technology. It automatically orientates, opens, fills, and closes each capsule with smooth, low-noise operation that's easy to clean and maintain.

The UAF-1200C is a fully automatic capsule filler built on the same dosing platform as our high-speed UAF-2500C, scaled to mid-volume production. It runs on a 10-station rotary table with 9 holes per segment, enabling up to 1,200 capsules per minute (72,000/hour) at full capacity — or a reduced 41,000/hour if segment holes are cut back to 5. Operation is smooth, simple, and low-noise, with easy cleaning and maintenance.

Filling uses a tamping-style system where each tamping station adjusts individually for precision weight control, and an adjustable gap between the dosing disk and tamping plate minimizes powder spillage. Sensors on both the product hopper and empty capsule hopper keep the line running without interruption, and defective or unseparated capsules are automatically ejected via vacuum suction, with air blow-out pins cleaning the segments before the cycle repeats.

All contact parts are stainless steel to meet cGMP standard, and the machine integrates Siemens electrical components and a Siemens PLC throughout for reliability.

A smaller sibling model, the UAF-900C, is also available — up to 54,000 capsules/hr (32,000/hr reduced) on the same platform and footprint.

Working Principle

  • Capsules are fed into segments and separated by negative suction.
  • Transporting.
  • Compressed powder slug is inserted into the capsule.
  • Reserved station for pellet or micro-tablet filling (optional).
  • Ejection of faulty or defective capsules.
  • Closing of the body and cap.
  • Locking of the body and cap.
  • Ejection of finished capsules.
  • Segment blow-out for cleaning.

Hard Gelatin Capsule Manufacturing Process

  • Powder slug compressed to 1/5 thickness of dosing disk.
  • Powder slug compressed to 2/5 thickness of dosing disk.
  • Powder slug compressed to 3/5 thickness of dosing disk.
  • Powder slug compressed to full thickness of dosing disk.
  • Compressed slug of powder is inserted into the capsules.

Construction & Design

  • 10-station rotary table, 9 holes per segment for up to 1,200 capsules/min.
  • Single capsule filling.
  • Enclosed turntable design for simple cleanup and maintenance.
  • Dosing disks available for different fill weights.
  • All parts made of high-quality stainless steel to meet cGMP standard.
  • Siemens electrical components and Siemens PLC throughout.
