Filled capsule elevator for seamless process integration
Efficiently streamline the transfer of filled capsules across various processes with ease, eliminating manual intervention and ensuring seamless automation while maintaining conformance to cGMP norms.

Automates and Transfers Filled Capsules Efficiently
The Filled Capsule Elevator (FCE) from ACG is designed to automate the transfer and conveyance of filled capsules across various processes, such as sorting, check-weighing, and packaging. It excels in transporting gel, veggie, and other capsules without the need for manual intervention, using blower units that support adherence to cGMP norms. The FCE handles a wide range of capsule sizes (000 to 5) without requiring different format parts, enhancing operational efficiency in high-speed, continuous manufacturing environments. With a capacity of up to 250,000 capsules per hour, it integrates smoothly with existing production lines, providing seamless automation for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical facilities. The equipment’s robust design ensures reliable performance and minimal maintenance requirements, making it an essential component for efficient capsule processing and transport workflows.
