A Simple, Efficient Method To Empty Capsules Into A Capsule Filling Machine

The Hanningfield CapsuJet C20 (Empty Capsule Conveyor) is a simple and efficient method for the gentle and repeatable transfer of empty capsules into the capsule filling machine.

Empty capsules are manually loaded into a large diameter, low -height capsule storage-hopper. The 200-litre storage-hopper has been designed to accommodate a full, standard sized box of capsules. When in operation, a tangentially discharged airflow from a multistage fan is forced through a patented venturi. The empty capsules in the storage hopper are gradually picked up by the suction created by the venturi and gently conveyed in a low- pressure, high-volume airflow through the conveying pipe work to the receiving hopper on the capsule-filling machine. A fully adjustable optical sensor controls the level of capsules in the receiving hopper on the capsule filling machine, by automatically starting and stopping the convey cycle.
