CAPSULE SEALING MACHINE
BAND SEALING
BD-3000
AUTOMATIC
Our bench top automatic capsule sealing unit, by banding the two capsule portions. BD-3000 is ideal to work with our automatic capsule filling machine IN-CAP and IN-CAP SE equipped with liquid filling station. It can handle a wide range of materials such as: oily-products, high viscosity paste and wax-type products which thanks to the jacketed hopper with stirrer, can handle melted products at temperature up to + 80°C which then solidify at ambient temperature.
Our new capsule sealing machine BD-3000 consists of 4 sections:
- capsule’s orientation
- capsule’s sealing
- capsule’s drying
- capsule’s ejection
WORKING PROCESS
- The filled capsules from the hopper, through a special rectifier, are positioned into the cavities of the rotating disc which takes them to the sealing station.
- The sealing operation is performed with the capsule perfectly centered thanks to the particular design of the cavity where it is positioned; the capsule is hold and rotated (3 complete revolutions) to assure the constant and uniform application of the sealing solution on all the circumference of the capsule.
- The sealing station consists of a heated tank where a rotating roller takes the sealing solution from the tank applying it to the capsule exactly on the capsule junction (body-cap).
- The sealing solution of our own development, while assures a perfect tight to the banding, also contributes to the sealing action of the capsule as it is also partially absorbed by capillarity by the hard gelatine capsule .
- The thickness of the banding strip is rather inconsistent.
- After sealing, the capsules are transferred in vertical position with the cap down, in a second disc; this operation is performed paying particular attention not to spoil the banding (in effect, the sealed part does not come in contact with any material).
- The sealed capsules remain in this disc for drying for over 4 minutes. The drying is facilitated by air fans which circulate air at ambient temperature.
- Finally, capsules are ejected through a chute.
- All operations are controlled by a PLC.
