Semi-Automatic Capsule Filling Machine

The semi automatic capsule filling machine combines manual guidance with automated functions for increased user control and productivity.

Semi auto capsule filling machines - JTJ Series

The semi-automatic capsule filling machine is also known as semi-automatic capsule filler. Compared to manual filling, a good semi-automatic capsule filling machine improves output and dose consistency. It suits small to mid-sized production where batch size changes often. A semi-automatic filler also fits a limited space. The training time is also shorter because of the easy setting. For startups, R&D labs, and growing supplement or pharma companies, it offers a practical step between manual tools and fully automatic equipment.

At Anxine, we offer JTJ series to support semi-automatic capsule filling, suitable for filling powder, granules, and pellets. This series of equipment operates stably, provides precise dosing, and is compatible with capsule sizes from 00# to 4#. The maximum output can reach 25,000 capsules per hour.

How Does a Semi-automatic Capsule Filler Work?

In a semi-automatic capsule filler, some steps rely on the operator, while others are handled by the machine.

Load

The operator loads empty capsules and powders into the distictive hopper.

Separate

The capsules are separated into caps and bodies. Caps are held in the upper segment of capsule tray. And bodies are held in the lower segment

Fill

Powder filling into the capsule bodies is carried out by the machine, but the operator need to remove the lower part from dispensing part to the filling station.

Lock & Inspect

After filling, the operator places the caps back onto the bodies and put it on the locking station. The machine presses the capsules tightly to lock them. Finally, the operator removes the finished capsules and performs visual inspection.

How to Choose a Semi-automatic Capsule Filler?

A good selection of equipment is important. You’d better consider the following factors comprehensively.

Define Your Production Volume

Choose the machine model based on your expected production volume. It is recommended to choose a machine with 20-30% overcapacity to accommodate future growth.

Match Capsule Size Compatibility

You need to make sure the machine supports all capsule sizes you plan to produce. For special capsule designs, like printed capsules, require high-quality molds and stable alignment.

Evaluate Material Characteristics

Choose free-flowing powders and small particles with low moisture (<3%). If choosing materials with other characteristics, confirm whether there are optional features for them, such as anti-static devices or vacuum feeding.

FAQs on Semi-automatic Capsule Filler​

Get answers to common questions about our semi-automatic capsule filling machine.

A semi-automatic capsule filler is mainly used for dry powders and small granules. Materials with good flow have better filling accuracy. High-moisture, sticky, or liquid materials are not suitable for this machine. You can choose other types of capsule filling machine at Anxine
The operator is involved in capsule loading, powder feeding, and finished capsule removal. Capsule separation, filling, and locking are conducted by the machine.
Yes. Semi-automatic capsule fillers are commonly used for laboratory work, pilot production, and small to medium batches. They allow fast setup and easy adjustment when formulas change often.
Filling accuracy depends on material flow, capsule quality, and correct parameter settings. With stable powder and proper adjustment, the machine can complete the task as you require.
Yes. The machine is designed in accordance with GMP requirements. Product-contact parts are made of stainless steel and allow easy cleaning and inspection. Other certificates like CE conformity could be also provided if you need it.
  • Material. You need to use free-flowing dry powders or fine granules with good particle uniformity, and avoid caking. Keep the moisture content at ≤3%.
  • Capsules. Use empty capsules that meet ISO or industry standard tolerances, with stable quality and consistent wall thickness and length.
  • Environment. Maintain a temperature of 20–25°C and relative humidity of 45–55%. For capsule storage, 20–22°C and about 50% RH are recommended. It prevents moisture absorption or deformation.
Note that changes in materials, environmental conditions, or capsule brands may affect production speed and filling consistency, even on the same machine.
  • High-viscosity or high-moisture materials, such as paste-like, cream-like, or oily powders. These materials tend to form lumps in the filling tubes or molds. So they are not suitable for uniform filling.
  • Fully liquid contents. JTJ series is designed for dry powders and small granules. Liquids require dedicated liquid filling equipment and sealing methods.
  • Ultra-fine powders with high hygroscopicity or strong static electricity. These powders can affect material flow and dosing accuracy. An anti-static or drying system may be required.
  • Non-standard capsules or capsules with unstable quality. It means capsules have large wall thickness differences or excessive size tolerance. They may cause jamming or incomplete filling.
