Semi-Automatic Liquid Capsule Filling Machine FAQ

Transparency is the cornerstone of our Yundu team. That’s why below, you can find the most common questions and answers we receive surrounding our semi-automatic liquid capsule filling machine.

A semi-automatic capsule filling machine is a benchtop or floor-standing device that fills hard gelatin or HPMC capsules with powders, granules, or liquids. It requires manual loading of empty capsules and some operator intervention, but automates dosing and tamping for higher accuracy than fully manual methods.

Most models accommodate standard sizes (00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and both gelatin and vegetarian HPMC shells. Some machines also offer optional tooling for small “minicaps” or specialty sizes.

Semi-automatic machines can fill a wide range of materials, including dry powders, granules, beads, pellets, and viscous liquids or oils (with the appropriate liquid-dosing kit).

Typical weight variation for powder is ±3–5% of target, depending on material flowability and operator skill. Liquid dosing kits can achieve ±1–3% consistency when properly calibrated.

Depending on the model and capsule size, average output ranges from 2,000 to 5,000 capsules per hour—ideal for R&D, pilot runs, and small-batch manufacturing.

Changeover usually takes 10–20 minutes. It involves swapping out the filling plate (mold) and adjusting the dosage cam or liquid-filling nozzle settings.

Machines feature stainless-steel contact parts for easy sanitization. Daily cleaning of hoppers, tamping pins, and plates is recommended; full strip-down and inspection should be done every month or as per GMP guidelines.

Basic operator training (1–2 hours) covers capsule loading, weight calibration, troubleshooting, and safety. Many suppliers also offer remote or onsite commissioning and training support.

Common protections include pressure-sensitive interlocks on covers, emergency-stop buttons, and overload protection for the drive motor to prevent jamming or capsule damage.

Some manufacturers design their semi-automatic platforms to be modular—allowing you to add automatic capsule feeding, sorting, and sealing modules when you scale up to larger production volumes.
