Empty capsules are loaded into the capsule hopper and fed into the magazine un-oriented. From the magazine, capsules enter the sorting block where they are oriented (smaller end down). Capsules are then separated by vacuum — the lower portion retained in the die holes, upper portion inspected. The 10-station rotary table carries the die holes through: (1) capsule orientation and placement, (2–3) vacuum separation, (4–6) 6-station powder tamping and filling (powder homogenizer patent ensures uniform distribution even with poor-flowing powder; dosing disk changeable for fill weight), (7) die-hole cleaning (air blast), (8) cap joining, (9) capsule locking (capsule locking pins with groove), (10) finished capsule ejection and collection. Defective or un-separated capsules are ejected by pins and removed by vacuum. Double-sided grooved inner cam (patent) ensures equal filling force. 85% of lost powder is recovered by the powder collector (patent) and recirculated. Filling structure can be raised easily (patent) for cleaning.
