Empty capsule sorting system for pharmaceutical manufacturing

Expedite your capsule production with a high-speed system designed to efficiently sort and inspect empty, filled, or partially filled capsules, ensuring only fully encapsulated products progress along your assembly line.

Sorts and Inspects Capsule Consistency

The ECS 100 Empty Capsule Sorting Machine from ACG is designed to streamline the encapsulation process for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. By automatically identifying and removing empty capsules, loose caps, and loose bodies, it ensures only correctly filled capsules advance for further processing. Operating at high speeds of up to 200,000 capsules per hour, it integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, aligning with the demands of facilities focused on solid product types, such as gelatin and vegetarian capsules, as well as various supplements.

The ECS 100 features a simple yet effective sorting mechanism that minimizes downtime with easy maintenance, enhancing production efficiency. Its compact dimensions allow for easy incorporation into any capsule filling line, optimizing space and operational flow. The equipment’s robust design supports pharmaceutical-grade operations, maintaining compliance with industry standards while ensuring product quality. Whether handling vitamin, mineral, or herbal supplements, the ECS 100 is engineered for reliability in fast-paced production environments.
