Modu-C Low Speed Capsule Filling Machine

The Modu-C is the most flexible capsule filling and closing machine available. With an output of 24,000 capsules per hour, it is well suited for the lab, or as a small-scale production machine. It is designed to allow integration of various systems for dosing tablets, micro-tablets, pellets, powders and liquid filling — as single components, or in any combination. But the true flexibility of the Modu-C is evident in the powder dosing technology. Four different powder dosing systems are available — (1)tamping, (2)dosator with compaction, (3)dosator with vacuum and (4)vacuum drum. These dosing systems are mounted on plug-and-play trolleys for fast and easy exchange, enabling the user to select and quickly install the most appropriate dosing system for any powder, regardless of the properties or fill volume.

All powders differ in terms of flow characteristics, compaction, etc. Due to these differing properties, each powder requires the appropriate dosing system to achieve accurate, efficient filling with minimal powder loss. Pharmaceutical powders typically use very high-grade, costly materials. The Modu-C is designed for efficient material processing with extremely small residual quantities of powder. The flexibility of the Modu-C enables the user to handle any powder in any fill volume, including micro-dosing. Fill volumes in the micro-dosing range, with fill amounts as low as 1 mg or less can be accurately dosed. The machine can be purchased with one or more dosing trolleys, and additional trolleys added later should the need arise. This concept eliminates the worry of purchasing a machine that may not meet future requirements as new products come through the pipeline.

Aside from the variety of filling possibilities, the Modu-C also offers a number of options for weight control. Systems for IPC, 100% gross weight and 100% tare & gross weight check are optionally available. With this broad range of capabilities, the Modu-C clearly stands out from all other capsule fillers.
