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:

Tri des gélules

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…
