Capsule filler for multi-product dosing

Achieve precision and flexibility in capsule filling with a system designed for high-speed dosing of diverse ingredients, ensuring precise weight control and minimal waste, perfect for complex formulations.

Fills and Weighs Capsules with Precision

The ADAPTA series from IMA Group, including the ADAPTA 50, 100, and 200 models, revolutionizes capsule filling by offering unparalleled design flexibility and high-speed precision. This capsule filler is capable of processing up to 200,000 capsules per hour, efficiently handling multiple product types such as powders, granules, liquids, and solids within hard gelatine capsules. It excels in multi-product dosing, allowing up to five distinct ingredients per capsule, ensuring precise weight control with integrated advanced sensors and algorithms for real-time monitoring and adjustment.

Ideal for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, ADAPTA is engineered for applications such as time-release nutraceutical and probiotic supplement capsules, as well as powder-filled antibiotic and sustained-release medication capsules. The machine’s plug-and-play dosing units facilitate easy configuration changes, supporting dynamic production environments.

Equipped with an advanced PLC system, the ADAPTA series ensures seamless integration into production lines, featuring remote monitoring capabilities. Its efficient use of electrical motorization and smart gravimetric scales enhances dosing accuracy and reduces product waste, proving energy-efficient with reduced consumption rates. Available options in materials, such as corrosion-resistant alloys, cater to GMP and FDA compliance needs in pharmaceutical applications. Designed for ease of cleaning and maintenance, the machine includes features like a removable dosing unit, facilitating straightforward operations and minimizing downtime.
