Capsule filling machine – GKF Selection

The GKF Selection Series provides best conditions for state-of-the-art, flexible, and safe filling of capsules. It is capable of filling different types of products or combinations of products into hard shell capsules (HPMC or gelatin). Thanks to the modular assembly of the capsule filler, the machines can accommodate filling applications for (mini-) tablets, pellets, granules, liquids, or combinations. Quick changeover times and intuitive handling make the machines ideal for the production of pharmaceutical, health and nutrition products.

GKF 2500

Meet our high performance capsule filling machine with its compact and flexible platform for medium and large batch production up to 150,000 capsules per hour for all common capsule sizes.

Our patented slide-gate system reduces product loss and leads to significantly increased yields. Besides minimizing the dust impact of the product in the machine, the slide-gate system also offers the possibility to run pellets or granules on the same dosing station.

Our height-adjustable dosing disk technology can be adapted to changing product characteristics. You can dose multiple products via one dosing disk, and use the same application to dose powder and pellets.

The dosing system of our GKF Selection series works in line with a checkweigher. It monitors trends and automatically adjusts the target filling weight to ensure highest yield.

ASB (automated trouble shooting) function

The integrated ASB function ensures maximum productivity and quality by automatically correcting malfunctions in the capsule handling process.

The result: less machine downtimes.

Why capsule sealing?

Capsule sealing with banding technology ensures the highest product quality and prevents liquid-filled capsules from leakage. Banding also provides an additional measure for anti-counterfeiting of capsules filled with powder or other components. Sealing provides an enhanced safety measure to meet regulatory requirements. Our Syntegon GKB 2100 banding machine can handle both hard gelatine and HPMC (plant-based) capsules.

The Syntegon GKB 2100 banding machine

The new GKB 2100 features a particularly robust and flexible process, combined with the highest yield and maximum process stability. The focus is on user-friendliness, as well as very good accessibility for cleaning and easy format part changeovers. Our banding machine achieves an output of up to 125,000 capsules per hour.
