NJP-2000 Automatic Capsule Filling Machine

1. What is the actual daily production output I can expect, and is the machine suitable for large-scale manufacturing?

The NJP-2000 is designed for high-volume production, boasting a maximum output of 150,000 capsules per hour. In a standard 8-hour shift, this translates to a potential of 1.2 million capsules, making it an ideal choice for large-scale manufacturing operations in both the pharmaceutical and food industries. This high throughput, combined with its automated processes, ensures you can meet demanding production schedules while maintaining consistency and minimizing labor requirements.

2. How difficult is it to switch between different capsule sizes, and what sizes are supported?

This machine offers excellent versatility by supporting a wide range of capsule sizes, including 000, 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5#. The changeover process is designed to be efficient to minimize production downtime. While it requires changing out the corresponding mold parts on the 10-position turntable, the procedure is straightforward for a trained operator. This flexibility allows you to easily adapt your production line for different products or dosage requirements without needing separate machines.

3. What kind of filling accuracy can I expect, and how does the machine handle different types of powders?

The NJP-2000 utilizes a precise perforated plate counting system to ensure consistent dosing, with a filling error rate between ±2.5% and ±5%, depending on the powder's characteristics like flowability and density. The machine is engineered to handle various powders commonly used in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. For materials with challenging flow properties, adjustments to the filling parameters and potentially using flow aids may be necessary to achieve optimal accuracy and performance.

4. What are the installation requirements regarding power and space for the NJP-2000?

For installation, you will need a dedicated space that can accommodate the machine's dimensions of 1175mm x 1230mm x 1955mm, plus an additional 382mm for operational clearance. The machine requires a significant power supply, with a standard motor power of 8KW. You must ensure your facility's power grid can support either a 110V or 220V AC connection at 50/60Hz. Additionally, connections for a vacuum pump and a dust collector are necessary for proper operation.

5. How does the machine ensure operational reliability and minimize capsule waste?

The NJP-2000 is built for reliable, continuous operation. Its fully automatic system handles everything from capsule feeding and separation to waste capsule disposal and locking, reducing the chance of human error. It features a high empty capsule making rate of 99.8%, meaning very few capsules are wasted during the orientation and separation process. The integrated waste disposal function automatically rejects and removes improperly separated capsules, ensuring only viable capsules proceed to the filling station.

6. What level of maintenance is required, and is it easy to clean the machine to prevent cross-contamination?

Routine maintenance is crucial for optimal performance. Daily cleaning of the turntable and dosing components is recommended, especially when changing products. The machine is designed with a closed turntable, which helps protect the internal mechanisms from powder and debris. Key components are accessible for cleaning and inspection to prevent cross-contamination, a critical factor in both pharmaceutical and food-grade production. A regular schedule of lubrication and mechanical checks will ensure long-term reliability and operational safety.
