Hermetica Capsule Filling
Machine overview
The key for perfect capsule sealing.
Suitable for tamper-evident capsule sealing, Hermetica, born from experience that began in the 1970s, has an ergonomic layout guaranteeing maximum visibility and best accessibility to each phase of the process.
Hermetica fits the purpose of sealing capsules filled with liquid, powder or other products. Banding is achieved through the application of a liquid gelatine ring on the external surface of the capsule.

Machine highlights
-
Functional design
Fully accessible with balcony structure, low positioning of capsule feeding unit and exit chute.
-
Double band
Two rollers with independent speed regulation for double application of the gelatine band.
-
Fast fixing
Pre-drying unit to guarantee fast fixing of the gelatine band before transferring the capsules into the drying box.
-
Smooth performance
Unclogging system improves machine performance.
-
Fast changeover
Both sealing and drying transport plates contain a double row of capsules, thus halving the pieces to change and clean.
-
In-line installation
Machine can be installed in-line with IMA capsule filling machines.
Precision and control for consistent quality
Equipped with two separate gelatine bowls with independent control, Hermetica enables the adjustment of gelatine temperature and the automatic control and hold of gelatine viscosity.
