About the FLUIDOCAP 1000FLUIDOCAP 1000 is a semi-automatic R&D and pilot-scale machine that integrates liquid filling, capsule closing and band-sealing (with drying capability) in a compact footprint. It is engineered for hard capsules (gelatin and vegetarian HPMC) across sizes 00 to 4 and is suitable for a wide range of fluid formulations used in development and pilot production.
Applications- Filling hard capsules with liquids and suspensions
- Filling with hot melts and thermoplastic adhesives
- Filling pastes and thixotropic formulations
- Band-sealing of filled capsules and associated drying
Features & Benefits- Integrated filling, closing and band-sealing in a single small-footprint unit | Space-efficient line layout and simplified process integration
- Wide viscosity handling range | Reliable metering of liquids, pastes, hot melts and thixotropic systems
- Band-sealing plus drying option | Added protection of dosage form, improved shelf-life and brand differentiation
- Supports capsule sizes 00–4 and gelatin/HPMC materials | Flexibility for formulation development and scale-up
- Semi-automatic operation designed for R&D and pilot runs | Controlled testing, quick changeover and reduced setup footprint
