Liquid capsule devices can be subdivided into fully automatic hard capsule liquid filling equipment, semi-automatic hard capsule liquid filling equipment, liquid capsule sealing equipment (can be connected to fully automatic hard capsule liquid filling), soft capsule equipment, and more. These are a type of equipment used to accommodate liquid medications or nutritional supplements in capsule form, which can be filled with liquid contents and then sealed to maintain their seal and stability.

The hard capsule liquid filling equipment can complete the filling of hard capsules with solutions, suspensions, microemulsions, or hot melts and seal the capsule cap-body junction, ensuring that the materials inside the capsule remain sealed during packaging, transportation, and use. This improves the stability and safety of the product and offers a new method of administration, addressing the dosing challenges of many pharmaceuticals. It fills the gap in liquid filling and sealing technology for hard capsules in the pharmaceutical and health supplement industries, making it a boon for many pharmaceutical and health supplement companies developing products with high-activity or poorly soluble drugs.

Performance and Features:

• High Precision Filling: It possesses a highly accurate filling capability to ensure precise filling of each capsule. Different filling systems are equipped based on the material, such as peristaltic pumps or ceramic pumps, to control the filling volume difference to around ±2%, ensuring precise dosing.
• Capsule Loading Machine: It includes a vacuum positioning and separation mechanism for capsules, achieving a capsule loading rate of over 99%. Fiber optic automatic detection allows for the recognition of missing capsules within the upper and lower mold holes.
• Automation and High Efficiency: The equipment operates with automation, featuring a human-machine interface control system. It automatically alerts for missing capsules and materials, making the operation simple and achieving high production efficiency.
• Sealing Mechanism: The sealing mechanism uses a servo motor lifting device, which allows for fine adjustments and micro-movement of the sealing rollers to achieve the best sealing of the liquid layer.
• Sealing Trough Design: The sealing trough is designed with a sealing structure and is equipped with a heating and insulation system to ensure the viscosity of the adhesive, effectively extending the adhesive cycle.
• Finished Product Drying and Curing Molds: The molds for drying and curing the finished product adopt a hanging and freely rotating structure, significantly improving assembly and disassembly for cleaning purposes.

The primary uses and product applications of hard capsule liquid filling equipment are as follows:

• Pharmaceutical and Medical Applications: Liquid capsules are commonly used for the preparation of oral medications, especially for drugs that are difficult to formulate as solid tablets or capsules. They can accommodate liquid medications, colloidal suspensions, oils, and other pharmaceutical forms.
• Nutritional Supplements: Nutritional supplements such as fish oil, vitamin E, liquid vitamins, Omega-3 fatty acids, and more are often supplied in the form of liquid capsules. This form makes it convenient to ingest essential nutrients.
• Cosmetics: Liquid capsules are also used in the cosmetics industry for products like facial serums, makeup bases, skincare oils, and hair care products. These products can be applied more evenly to the skin.
• Food and Beverages: Some food and beverage additives, edible oils, and flavorings are provided in the form of liquid capsules for precise dispensing into food while maintaining the quality and stability of the food product.
