Empty Capsule Sorter

Product Description

• The Priyal Propack Empty Capsule Sorter Machine (PP-ECS Series) is a vital quality control tool designed to enhance the efficiency and reliability of capsule production in the pharmaceutical industry. This machine automatically sorts and rejects empty, lightweight, loose, chipped, or cracked capsules before they proceed to the filling stage, ensuring only high-quality capsules are used. Available in three models—PP-ECS-50, PP-ECS-100, and PP-ECS-150—with sorting capacities ranging from 50,000 to 150,000 capsules per hour, the PP-ECS series caters to small, medium, and large-scale production needs. Constructed with GMP-compliant materials, it features SS 316L for contact parts (sorting plate, chute) and SS 304 for non-contact parts (frame, enclosure), ensuring hygiene and durability. The machine uses a compressed air system to blow defective capsules into a separate collection chamber, while good capsules pass through to the outlet chute. Its compact design, quick changeover (3-5 minutes), and ability to handle all capsule sizes without part changes make it an essential addition to any capsule production line, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and improving overall product integrity.

Key Notes:

• Sorting Capacity (Capsules/Hr): Ranges from 50,000 capsules/hr for PP-ECS-50 to 150,000 capsules/hr for PP-ECS-150, accommodating various production scales.
• Capsule Size Range: Compatible with capsule sizes 00 to 5 (hard gelatin, HPMC, vegetarian), requiring no part changes for different sizes.
• Air Pressure (Bar): Operates at 4-6 Bar for effective sorting through compressed air, ensuring precise rejection of defective capsules.
• Power Consumption (kW): Low power usage from 0.5 kW to 1.0 kW, making it energy-efficient for continuous operation.
• Material of Construction: GMP-compliant, with SS 316L for contact parts and SS 304 for non-contact parts; mirror-polished for hygiene and durability.

Operational Features:

• Sorting Mechanism: Utilizes compressed air to separate empty, lightweight, or defective capsules (loose caps, chipped, or cracked) into a reject container, while good capsules pass through the outlet chute.
• Compact Design: Small footprint for easy integration into existing production lines, requiring minimal floor space.
• Quick Changeover: Switching between capsule sizes takes 3-5 minutes, minimizing downtime during production.
