Two types of capsule lling machine dosing discs

ormally, the dosing disc thickness calculation of capsule lling machines is a cumbersome पृ आवड े

rocess that is done during the manufacturing process. In most cases, a capsule ller will
ome with di erent types of dosing discs depending on the type or size of capsule you
tend to ll.

ow, this brings us to an integral aspect you need to consider when calculating the thickness
f capsule lling machine dosing discs.

he modern capsule lling machines can ll a wide range of capsule sizes. This makes them
uitable for a wide range of applications.

is for this reason that the manufacturer will specify the speci c capsule sizes you can use Request A Quick

The table above shows the maximum dosing disk thickness for di erent capsule sizes
emember, the dosing disc thickness will also a ect other vital components and
peci cations of a capsule lling machine.

How Dosing Disc Thickness A ect Other Part

Speci cations of Capsule Fillers

he thickness of a capsule lling machine dosing disc in uence the size of other components
uch as height of lling rod retainer. Furthermore, a change in the height of the lling rod will
ect both the density and volume of the powder.

elow is a table showing various parameters for a dosing disc thickness of about 18mm:

Station 1 2 3 4 5

Depth into dosing disk 9 5 3 2 0.5

early, you can see that the correct speci cations of the dosing disc dimensions will a ect
he e ciency and accuracy of the capsule ll weights. Therefore, you’ll perform a wide range
f tests based on a number of parameters such as:

 Type of motion – the disc is normally subjected to a rotary indexing motion.

 How the powder moves from the hopper to the disc
 The magnitude of centrifugal force that carries the powder to outer edges of the disc
 Magnitude of the compression force

the modern capsule lling setups in pharmaceutical industries, there are di erent test
mechanisms that simulate the operation of capsule ller machines. With this, it’s easy to tell
he dosing disc thickness a capsule lling process requires.

How Product Formulations A ect Dosing Disc

or di erent product formulations, you’ll need multiple dosing discs with di erent thickness.

ut, why is this so?

light, u y and a bulk heavy density product will require capsule ller dosing discs with
erent thickness. Therefore, you need to understand the key properties of the ll material.

Conclusion

short, the dosing disc thickness of a capsule lling machine will determine the accuracy,
recision, reliability and predictable performance of the machine. Normally, the capsule
ling machine manufacturer will provide a guideline on this.
