Automated devices designed for encapsulating powders, granules, or liquids into size “00” capsules streamline pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production. This specific size, the largest commonly available for human consumption, suits applications requiring high fill weights. An example application would be encapsulating herbal formulations or nutritional supplements where a significant dose is necessary.
These devices offer several advantages, including improved production speed and accuracy compared to manual filling. Precise dosage control minimizes variations, ensuring consistent product quality and therapeutic efficacy. Automation also reduces labor costs and minimizes the risk of contamination, contributing to a more efficient and hygienic manufacturing process. Historically, filling large capsules was a labor-intensive process. The advent of automated machinery for this purpose marked a significant advancement in the industry, enabling larger-scale production and more affordable access to encapsulated products.
