Empty capsule transfer system
Ensure seamless capsule filling operations by eliminating manual handling and preventing production downtime with gentle, high-volume empty capsule transfer, reducing damage with a precise airflow control system.

Transfers Empty Capsules to Filling Machine
The CapsuJet C20 from Hanningfield is an engineered-to-order empty capsule transfer system designed for seamless integration into pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production lines. What sets the CapsuJet C20 apart is its use of a patented venturi system that gently conveys empty capsules at a high throughput of 300,000 capsules per hour. It is adept at handling all hard shell capsule sizes, including gelatin, HPMC, and vegetable capsules, ensuring minimal to zero capsule damage. The system is compatible with continuous, automated operations, operated via a fully adjustable optical sensor that optimizes the capsule flow by regulating the convey cycle. Its construction in 316L stainless steel for contact parts and 304 stainless steel for non-contact parts ensures durability and compliance with cleanroom standards. The mobile trolley design allows for flexible installation, while the adjustable dimensions allow for customization based on specific production needs. The CapsuJet C20 is best suited for applications in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemical, cannabis, and nutraceutical industries, providing efficient solutions for pre-processing, processing, and packaging departments.
