Save time, eliminate manual handling and ensure 100% transfer rates by pneumatically transferring capsules to process machines.
The CapsuJet is designed and built to overcome the problems associated with conventional equipment used for the automatic loading or emptying of capsule filling machines. It uses a gentle, low velocity airstream which is generated by a fan or blower, ensuring all capsules are successfully conveyed without damage.
Loading Empty Capsules into Capsule Filling Machine
The CapsuJet C20 loads empty capsules up into the capsule filling machine from the hopper at ground level.
1. Empty capsules are fed into the C20 hopper straight from shipping cartons.
2. The capsules are then blown through a 50mm conveying pipeline to the capsule hopper on the capsule filling machine.
3. A level sensor which is mounted to the capsule filling machine controls the on/off flow of capsules.
Transferring Capsules After Filling
The CapsuJet FCC can be used to transfer filled capsules from an encapsulation machine to a downstream container or other process machine.
1. Filled capsules drop into the FCC chute from the capsule filling machine.
2. These capsules are then immediately conveyed away on a cushion of air through anti-static pipe work to the packaging area.
