Empty capsule sorting system

Streamline your capsule production by efficiently removing empty and defective capsules, ensuring only quality-filled capsules proceed to the next stage of your manufacturing process.

Sorts and Rejects Defective Capsules

The KCS10 Capsule Sorter from Krämer AG efficiently identifies and removes empty or defective capsules, enhancing product quality in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors. This equipment excels with its ability to automatically sort capsules filled with powders, granules, or pellets using a compressed air mechanism, eliminating the need for a power supply. Capable of processing up to 300,000 capsules per hour, it integrates seamlessly after capsule polishers or metal detectors, fitting effortlessly into continuous production lines. Designed with AISI 316L stainless steel contact surfaces, it ensures durability and compliance with GMP standards. Easy assembly and disassembly without tools facilitate quick maintenance, minimizing downtime. Optional features such as inlet and outlet adapters and material certificates offer customization to meet specific operational needs.
