Capsule Cleaning and Polishing Machine

For dedusting, cleaning and high gloss polishing of hard gelatin capsules. The Seidenader PM 60 is a dedusting, cleaning and polishing machine. It continuously cleans the capsules while gently transporting them to the next process. Coarse dust is already removed on the vibratory conveyor chute at the infeed, before the capsules get between the polishing belts. By extremely gentle and dry cleaning and polishing, a high-gloss effect is achieved, even at the tips of the capsules.

The PM 60 can be integrated into complete lines between two production steps. We recommend to use the PM 60 in combination with a Seidenader inspection belt V 50-2. The capsules are cleaned, polished and inspected in one process.

Mode of operation:
A major quantity of capsules to be cleaned and polished is loaded into the feed hopper. The capsule feed is regulated with the aid of a slide gate at the opening of the feed hopper and an infinitely adjustable vibratory conveyor chute. The capsules pass via the vibratory conveyor chute between two polishing belts while travelling through the polishing stage. The two contra rotating belts clean and polish the capsules. The lower belt is running faster than the upper belt in order to transport the products. Dust is continuously removed from the polishing fleece by two vacuum units.
