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

  1. Functional design

    Fully accessible with balcony structure, low positioning of capsule feeding unit and exit chute. 

  2. Double band

    Two rollers with independent speed regulation for double application of the gelatine band. 

  3. Fast fixing

    Pre-drying unit to guarantee fast fixing of the gelatine band before transferring the capsules into the drying box. 

  4. Smooth performance

    Unclogging system improves machine performance. 

  5. Fast changeover

    Both sealing and drying transport plates contain a double row of capsules, thus halving the pieces to change and clean.

  6. 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.
