Softgel and Capsule Inspection Machine

Description

Softgel and Capsule Inspection Machine Brief Introduction

JS softgel inspection machine is for consistent inspection of capsules and softgel and other round and cylindrical objects. The softgel capsules flow from the feeding hopper into a vibratory chute where a perforated screen eliminates coarse dust and chips which are then collected in a container. The product enters the inspection stage in a single layer. The capsules and tablets are placed on rotating rollers and are continuously turned in front of the operator which ensures a reliable all-sided inspection. An adjustable mirror enables the operator to examine the far side of the softgel capsule. Optionally the rotation speed of the inspection rollers is adjustable with a separate drive unit, independent of the inspection speed.

Softgel and Capsule Inspection Table Features

  • The rotation speed and inspection speed of the roller are variably adjustable.
  • There are no hidden corners and blind areas in the inspection stage.
  • Inspection rollers are made of GMP-approved transparent high-density polymers.
  • Empty capsules, halves, and chips can be separated automatically with a vacuum unit installed on the inspection belt prior to the inspection stage.
  • Defective capsules softgel and tablets can be eliminated by the operator with a flexible handheld vacuum nozzle.
  • Foot pedal switch to stop the conveyor belt at any time. While the foot pedal is pressed, the product keeps rotating on the rotating roller at a separately adjustable speed.
  • The lighting source from the top and underneath for illuminating the inspection stage is a non-flashed fluorescent lamp. Fatigue of the vision can be reduced.
  • For cleaning purposes, the machine can be completely dismantled without any tools within a few minutes. Easy to clean, no cross-contamination risk.

Quick Guidance for Softgel and Capsule Inspection Machine

How does softgel inspection machine work?

1. Capsules are loaded into the hopper. Then flow to a vibratory chute where a perforated screen eliminates coarse dust and chips (which will be collected into a container).

2. The capsules enter the inspection stage in a single layer. The capsules are placed on rollers and continuously rotate in front of the operator which ensures a reliable all-sided inspection. An adjustable mirror enables the operator to examine the far side of the product. Optionally the rotation speed of the inspection rollers is adjustable with a separate drive unit (refer to roller speed adjustment), independent of the inspection speed (refer to conveying speed adjustment).

3. Defective capsules can be removed by a hand-held vacuum pen. If there are lots of defective products that appear altogether in a short time, the operator can step on the foot-pedal switch to stop conveying, and then use the hand-held vacuum nozzle to remove them one by one. Once the operator steps on the foot-pedal switch, the conveying stops, while the roller still rotates.

4. This inspecting machine is a new product researched to meet the needs of the pharmaceutical sector. It can test outlook quality for hard capsules, soft capsules, and tablets.

5. A rolling conveyor to speed up the softgel t capsule sorting process. To ease out the visual inspection, we install lights at the top and down of the conveyor; also a mirror to magnify capsule size. It meets pharmaceutical degrees and can test quality for hard capsules, soft capsules, and tablets. One of the devices in softgel manufacturing equipment.

What are the major parts of softgel inspection machine?

1. Vibration chute: help the capsule goes down smoothly, with no clog.
2. Rolling Conveyor (Forward going and self-rotation): capsule can spread out on the conveyor automatically, and speed up the capsule moving forward.
3. Top/ Downlights: two sides of lighting go through capsules, making naked eyes to see defection easier.
4. Mirror: a magnifying mirror to enlarge capsule actual size, also help inspection, reduce the difficulty, dial down mal-practice rate.
5. Vacuum sucking pen: accurate and quick.
6. Electric cabinet: installed right aside machine, easy to operate and control.
