TRICAP & CAPELEV equipment provides highly effective innovative solutions for capsule production:
- Dedusting and polishing capsules.
- Sorting and automatic elimination of the filled capsules with defect.
- Possibility of integrating a metal detector.
Dedusting and polishing the filled capsules:
Sorting and elimination of empty capsules and separate cap and body:
- Empty capsule.
- Very weakly filled capsule (effective if < 15% of the total weight).
- Loose capsule body filled with product.
- Separate cap and body parts.
- Detection and removal of metal particles (AISI316L = 0.5 mm / FER = 0.3 mm / NON FER = 0.35 mm).
Impact of the use of the TRICAP system:
Install the TRICAP system in line with the filling machine to increase your competitiveness by reducing the cost of production of the capsules.
- Reduce significantly the stoppages and cleaning of packaging lines (blister, bottles).
- Ensure and control the quality of 100% of your production.
- Reduce the workload of your operators.
- Avoid visual selection operations.
- Reassure your customers by guaranteeing them a unitary control of the production.
- Improve your process by the analysis of rejections which is a representative indicator of the process performance:
- For QA: data can be registered in the manufactured batch file, helps to define the continuous improvement actions.
- For maintenance: to prevent the filling machine dysfunction (misalignments, wear of the size parts).
Sorting and elimination filled capsules with a deformation on the diameter:
- Gravity-fed capsule elevator for automatic feeding into hoppers.
- Capsule with joining defect.
- Telescoped capsules (internal and external).
- Capsules crushed, flattened, oval.
- Capsules with product (powder or pellets) intercalated between cap and body parts.
- Capsules with defect, holes, bubbles, asperity…
