Minima Capsule Filling

Machine overview

Dosing precision in a benchtop format. 

Minima is a table-top capsule filler designed to dose DPIs or solid products for oral administration in hard capsules. Used as an efficient solution to assess product processability, Minima is also directly scalable to production line capsule fillers. 

Extremely precise and with a single dosator, Minima can work with all capsule sizes and any dosage, as it can be equipped with all dosing devices found on standard production machines. 
Portable and with minimal user requirements, Minima is simple to use, completely mechanical and only requires compressed air to function.
