High-containment capsule dosing and filling system

Achieve precise dosing and optimal containment for pharmaceutical productions requiring high safety standards and operational efficiency, ensuring protection for both operators and sensitive substances.

Fills and Weighs Capsules Under Containment

The Modu-C CS Containment from Harro Höfliger is a versatile capsule filling machine designed for pharmaceutical and medical device industries, capable of processing formulations up to OEB 5 classification. This system excels in containment and operator safety, featuring an integrated 100% gross weighing mechanism for precise dosing. The patented trolley system allows swift changeovers among powders, pellets, tablets, mini tablets, and liquids, enhancing workflow efficiency. Common applications include producing hard gelatin, plant-based, and softgel capsules, with an output of up to 43,500 capsules per hour. The equipment ensures compliance with GMP standards and features a wetting-in-place cleaning system for minimal downtime and contamination-free operations.
