Capsule Transfer Systems For the gentle and automated loading and unloading of capsule filling machines. Suitable for all standard empty and filled hard-shell capsule applications.

Loading and unloading capsule filling machines does not have to be labour intensive and slow. The CapsuJet will automatically keep pace with capsule filling machines, ensuring a constant supply of empty capsules. Capsules are gently conveyed on a cushion of air through anti-static pipework, eliminating the risk of the capsule halves separating or the shells being damaged in transit. Capsule Transfer Systems
