SC System Capsule Filling

Machine overview

Feeding only perfect capsules.

SC System capsule feeding and selection device improves capsule filler productivity by automatically selecting all crushed or ovalised capsules.

SC System consists of a capsule container, placed near the capsule filling machine, provided with a continuous rotating wheel with a series of calibrated holes so that only perfect capsules can pass through. After selection, capsules are fed into the machine hopper with an uplifting belt or a blow of air.
