Capsule conveyors for gentle capsule transfer
Streamline your capsule production line with a system designed for high-speed, gentle transfer of gelatin and vegetarian capsules, ensuring reduced damage and seamless integration into processing operations.

Transfers and Loads Capsules Efficiently
The Hanningfield CapsuJet Capsule Transfer Systems, including the C20 and FCC models, revolutionize capsule handling for pharmaceutical manufacturers and nutraceutical companies. Designed to enhance the efficiency of pill production lines, these systems excel in automating the loading and unloading processes for both empty and filled capsules.
The CapsuJet C20 efficiently transfers up to 300,000 empty capsules per hour from ground-level hoppers into filling machines, while the CapsuJet FCC manages filled capsules, conveying up to 200,000 per hour to downstream processes. Both models utilize a gentle conveyance method to minimize capsule damage, making them ideal for a wide array of capsule types including gelatin, vegetarian, and CBD capsules.
Constructed with 316L stainless steel contact parts and FDA-compliant seals, these systems offer robust durability and compliance with stringent pharmaceutical standards. The optional level control feature facilitates automated loading, reducing manual intervention and ensuring consistency during high-speed operations. Customizable hoppers accommodate various capsule sizes, further enhancing flexibility.
Integration into existing production lines is seamless, supported by full validation documentation and customization options to meet specific operational demands. Whether you’re in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, or chemical industry, Hanningfield’s CapsuJet systems provide reliable, high-performance solutions for your capsule handling needs.
