Automatic Hard Shell Capsule Counting and Packaging Line

LP-300 Automatic Hard Shell Capsule Counting & Packaging Line | High-Speed Filling, Capping & Labeling

Complete Turnkey Solution for Hard Shell Capsule Packaging

The LP-300 Automatic Packaging Line represents a state-of-the-art integrated system designed to automate the entire process of counting, capping, sealing, and labeling hard shell capsules. This robust line eliminates human error, significantly boosts production output, and reduces labor costs for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and sports nutrition industries .

Core System Components & Workflow

1. Linear Vibratory Counting System: The heart of the line. Capsules are gently fed via a vibratory feeder to a precision counting system. This ensures accurate portion control into jars, minimizing count inaccuracies and preventing product damage .

2. Automatic Cap Orienter: Lids are automatically fed, correctly oriented, and placed onto the filled jars before sealing, ensuring a smooth and efficient process flow.

3. In-Line Torque Capper: Jars are conveyed to the capping station where lids are screwed on with a consistent, pre-set torque. This guarantees a uniform and secure closure every time.

4. Induction Sealing Station (Optional): For an extra layer of protection, an induction sealer applies an airtight foil seal under the cap, providing tamper evidence and preserving product freshness .

5. Automatic Labeling System: Capped and sealed jars finally pass through a label applicator that accurately applies product labels, ensuring a professional finish and regulatory compliance.

6. Material Handling: A flat-top chain conveyor provides a stable transport platform for containers throughout the entire process.

Detailed Technical Description & Specifications

Technical Overview:
The automated line is a comprehensive turnkey solution designed to handle the entire packaging process for products requiring a cotton insert. It is comprised of several synchronized modules:

Core Components & Workflow:

1. Orbital-Type Container Orienter: Gently handles and correctly aligns empty plastic jars using a smooth orbital motion, ideal for delicate containers, before feeding them into the linear conveyor system.

2. Linear Vibratory Counting System: Features a single nozzle for high-speed, gentle, and accurate counting of coated tablets or hard shell capsules into the jars.

3. Automatic Cotton Dispenser: A specialized unit that precisely measures, cuts, and dispenses a plug of cotton into the jar on top of the product.

4. Elevator-Type Cap Orienter: Automatically feeds, correctly aligns, and places lids (caps) onto the filled jars.

5. In-Line Torque Capper: Applies and tightens screw caps onto the jars with a consistent, pre-set torque to ensure a secure seal.

6. Induction Sealing Station: Applies a hermetic, tamper-evident foil seal under the cap for enhanced product safety and freshness.

7. Automatic Pressure-Sensitive Labeling Station: Applies self-adhesive labels accurately onto round jars.

8. Flat-Top Chain Conveyor: Provides a stable and continuous transport platform for containers throughout the entire process.
