Capsule Filling Machine Demos: Test With Your Own Powder and Capsules
A buyer's guide to requiring a fully automatic capsule filling machine demonstration with the buyer's actual powder and capsules, including practical questions for the trial and acceptance test.
Make the demonstration run on your own powder and capsules, not the supplier's reference material. A fully automatic capsule filling machine rated at 1,200 capsules/min and listed for standard capsule sizes 00–5 may behave differently with your formulation, so the trial should show fill-weight consistency, capsule closure, and output at your target speed.
Ask the supplier to state how much material the trial needs and whether the machine will run at 380 V, 50 Hz on site. During the demonstration, request samples at the low and high ends of your target fill range and check weight variation across a defined sample. Confirm which capsule sizes from 00–5 will be run and whether changeover parts are included. For acceptance, agree on measurable criteria in advance: fill-weight tolerance, acceptable rejects, and sustained output over a set run time.
Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier that the demonstration uses your material, which capsule sizes and tooling are covered, the power configuration, and how acceptance results will be recorded and judged.
