Capsule sorter elevator for encapsulation processes
Ensure uninterrupted encapsulation by efficiently removing defective capsules, streamlining your production line with precision sorting and automated integration.

Sorts and Elevates Capsules for Encapsulation
The Sorter Elevator SE 100 and SE 200 from ACG are engineered to enhance efficiency in capsule production lines. By connecting directly to the encapsulation machine’s empty capsule hopper, they resolve the issue of defective capsules by performing a diametric sort early in the process. This integration allows manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries to maintain high throughput, optimizing lines with a capacity of up to 220,000 capsules per hour. Operating at high-speed, these sorter elevators prevent encapsulation downtime, ensuring a continuous and automated workflow. Compact in design, they fit seamlessly into existing setups, saving valuable floor space. Additionally, their robust construction offers long-term durability, adaptable to various capsule types, including gelatin and plant-based capsules. Ensuring cleanliness and compliance, they support stringent GMP standards, essential for maintaining product integrity throughout the encapsulation process.
