Capsule sorter elevator for encapsulation processes
In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing, preventing stoppages in encapsulation lines due to defective empty capsules can enhance productivity significantly. Ensuring a smooth and continuous operation is critical for maintaining high output and quality standards.
Automates defective capsule sorting and loading
The Sorter Elevator (SE) by ACG World is an integrative solution designed for automatic encapsulation machines. The SE connects directly to the machine’s empty capsule hopper and efficiently sorts defective empty capsules, preventing machine stoppages during the filling process. It features a high throughput—up to 220,000 capsules per hour—ensuring that the encapsulation line operates efficiently. Designed with a compact footprint, the SE maximizes space utilization and integrates seamlessly with other ACG encapsulation machinery to automate the capsule loading process fully. Additionally, it supports both smaller (100,000 capsules/hr) and larger (220,000 capsules/hr) outputs, catering to various production scales.
