With the continuous development of pharmaceutical technology, people's requirements for medicine quality and safety are becoming increasingly high. As an important form of medicine packaging, capsules play a crucial role in ensuring the quality of medicine. The capsule filling machine is one of the important equipment to ensure the quality and accuracy of capsules. This article will explore common problems and solutions during the use of capsule machines.
Common Troubleshooting Table of Semi Automatic Capsule Filler
Faults | Reasons | Methods |
Capsules are not accessible. Holes of capsule disk are not accessible. |
1) The vacuum pump leaks air and the suction becomes weak. 2) The center hole of the capsule disc is not aligned with the center of the vacuum gasket slot. |
1) Clean the vacuum pump and filter valve. 2) Align the center line of the capsule disc and vacuum gasket. |
The capsule turntable does not rotate. | 1) Adjust ratchet and loosen screw. | 1) Adjust the nut of the ratchet back and forth to the optimized state. |
The capsule cannot lock, tilt to one side or break. |
1) The pressure is unreasonable. 2) Air pump leaks, and control valve open too big or too small. 3) The cylinder seal ring is damaged. 4) The capsule is not qualified. |
1) Adjust the pressure with the control valve. 2) Replace the seal ring. 3) Replace the capsule when it is damp. |
The capsule discharging tube cannot deliver capsules. |
1) The powder goes into the tube. 2) The capsule breaks. |
1) Clean the capsule filling tube with alcohol. 2) Remove the cracked capsule. |
There are abnormalities on capsule feeding. |
1) The capsule-feeding switch is not well adjusted. The capsule-pushing base is in the wrong position. 2) The center of the capsule-discharging tube is not aligned with the center of the capsule discharging-comb hole. |
1) Adjust the switch so that the pushing plate is perpendicular to the pressing-head and press the capsules into the capsule disc holes. 2) Align the center of the capsule-feeding tube with the center of the capsule-discharging comb holes. |
The rotation speed, feeding and filling turntables are all abnormal. |
1) Induction switch is abnormal. 2) Medicinal powder goes under the turntable bearing. |
1) Turn off the power and clean the induction switch. 2) Replace the induction switch. 3) Remove the turntable and clean the bearings. |

Faults | Reasons | Methods |
Absent capsule | Defective capsules clogging the inlet of the capsule feeding plate. | Remove and clean out the capsule canister with a capsule pass-through needle. |
Capsule feeding switch is too large or too small. | Adjust the position of the bladder switch. | |
Damaged or unevenly capsule blocking plate. | Replace the plate, or correct the angle evenly. | |
Low production of capsule into module holes | Horizontal fork too far forward or too far back | Adjust the fork position. |
Capsule cap flies away when separating | Excessive vacuum degree | Adjust the vacuum valve to reduce the vacuum degree appropriately. |
Capsule fails to be properly Separated. |
Too small vacuum degree | Adjust the vacuum valve to increase the vacuum degree appropriately. |
Dirty piles up in mold hole. | Clean the upper and lower mold holes. | |
Incorrect concentricity. | Correct the concentricity with upper and lower module mandrels. | |
Capsule debris clog air holes of the suction head. | Clean capsule debris with a small crochet hook. | |
modular damage | Replacement of modules | |
Clogged vacuum line | Unclogging vacuum lines | |
Capsule shrinkage occurs Sassafras skin, notch. |
Incorrect concentricity | Correct the concentricity with upper and lower module mandrels. |
Ejector pin of the locking capsule bends. | Adjust or replace the locking pin. | |
Dirty piles up at the end of the ejector pin. | Clean the end of the ejector pin. | |
High ejector height | Adjustment of thimble height. | |
Damaged or worn module holes. | Replacement of modules. | |
Locking not in place | Locking capsule ejector pin is low. | Adjust the locking thimble height. |
Overfilling. | Ask the pharmaceutical company to adjust the process. | |
Mainframe faults, causing the shutdown. | Clutch plate is too loose | Adjust friction plate pressure. |
Increased friction between the lower plane of the dosage disk and the upper plane of the copper ring |
Reduction of relative humidity in the production environment. Adjustment of the clearance of the lower plane of the dosage disk. |
