Automatic Capsule Counting and Filling Machine
Elevate Packaging Productivity with Uncompromising Counting Accuracy
In the highly regulated pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and herbal industries, precision is more than an operational goal—it is a compliance mandate. The Harsiddh Automatic Capsule Counting and Filling Machine is an elite engineering solution developed to eliminate packaging discrepancies, eliminate product wastage, and optimize throughput. Built for rigorous 24/7 operational environments, this state-of-the-art system flawlessly counts and dispenses hard gelatin capsules, soft gels, caplets, and traditional tablets into bottles with surgical precision.
By combining an advanced multi-channel electronic sensor array with a proprietary, non-destructive vibratory product feeding mechanism, this machine delivers consistent volumetric performance. Whether you are running small batches of delicate soft gels or continuous mass production of dusty, uncoated herbal caplets, our capsule filler guarantees zero product damage and flawless quantity integrity in every single container.
Why Choose Harsiddh’s Automated Counting Technology?
Manual counting or outdated mechanical disc counters introduce human error, cause product damage, and throttle your production capacity. Moving to the Harsiddh automatic system directly updates your secondary packaging lines into smart, self-correcting workflows.
1. Multi-Track Customization and Scalability
Recognizing that production needs vary from mid-scale facilities to massive global enterprises, Harsiddh offers modular multi-channel configurations. Our systems are available in 8, 12, 16, 24, and 32-channel models, enabling production lines to comfortably achieve throughputs ranging from 30 to over 150 bottles per minute depending on the solid dosage configuration and required fill quantity.
2. Zero-Part Changeover Matrix
Production downtime can quickly drain profitability. Our advanced PLC software and multi-track design allow operators to switch between different sizes of capsules (from size “000” to “5”) or adjust fill quantities (from 2 to 9,999 pieces per bottle) directly through the Touchscreen HMI. There is absolutely no need to purchase, manage, or physically swap mechanical change parts when transitioning between different product profiles, significantly reducing batch transition periods.
High-Precision Technological Features
Anti-Dust Sensor Array
Traditional optical sensors often fail in dusty conditions, leading to dangerous under-fills or over-fills. Uncoated capsules, herbal formulations, and dry-powder tablets naturally shed micro-particles as they travel down feeding tracks. Harsiddh utilizes proprietary, high-frequency anti-dust sensor technology. This electronic detection matrix self-calibrates in real-time, instantly cutting through ambient airborne dust to maintain 100% counting accuracy even under heavy, continuous operation.
Smart Rejection and Defect Sorting System
Maintain a flawless quality control line without introducing bottlenecks. Our smart rejection architecture continuously tracks every container on the conveyor. If the system detects a bottle with an incorrect count or identifies a fragmented or broken capsule, a high-speed pneumatic rejection arm smoothly moves that specific container to a secure rejection tray. The primary production line continues running at maximum velocity without experiencing expensive emergency stops.
“No Bottle – No Fill” Logic
Minimize expensive product cross-contamination and material waste. The system integrates intelligent proximity sensors hooked directly into the central PLC brain. If an upstream bottle jam occurs, or if there is a gap in the container feed, the counting tracks instantly pause product release. The channels remain safely locked until a bottle is perfectly indexed beneath the filling nozzle, keeping your work environment immaculately clean.
Non-Destructive Vibratory Product Feeding
Delicate soft gels and fragile hard gelatin shells require exceptionally gentle handling to prevent micro-cracks and leakage. Harsiddh features a patented three-stage vibratory feeding mechanism that moves solids smoothly across stepped plates. This breaks up clumps and lines up the products into single-file lanes without applying physical pressure or structural friction, ensuring complete product integrity from hopper to bottle.
Key Performance Advantages
- Full cGMP Compliance: Fabricated entirely using high-grade Stainless Steel (SS 304 and SS 316 for product contact pathways), meeting international WHO, FDA, and EU-GMP regulatory hygiene guidelines.
- Ergonomic HMI Touchscreen Interface: Features an intuitive graphical interface powered by a premium PLC system, allowing simple preset configurations, quick error logging, and password-protected operator profiles.
- Smooth-Run Delrin Conveyor Track: Built with a low-friction Delrin or customized stainless-steel conveyor system that ensures stable container transportation, eliminating bottle tipping and reducing operational noise.
- Anti-Jamming Custom Hopper Mouth: Engineered with an anti-bridging throat geometry within the supply hopper to maintain a uniform product feed and prevent product blockages.
- Built-in System Diagnostics: Automatically runs internal diagnostics, sounding audible alarms and flashing on-screen alerts to pinpoint the exact location of any technical issues for fast troubleshooting.
Universal Product Applications
The sheer adaptability of our electronic sensor array makes this system an ideal asset across diverse industries:
- Pharmaceutical Formulations: Fast, highly sterile filling of prescription medications, including hard gelatin antibiotics, pain relievers, and complex caplets.
- Nutraceutical Facilities: Flawless processing of delicate oil-filled soft gels (Omega-3, Vitamin E) and high-density mineral tablets.
- Herbal & Ayurvedic Processing: Dependable handling of dense, natural root-powder capsules that generate high volumes of abrasive dust.
- Cosmetics & Specialty Industries: Easily handles non-standard spherical solids, beads, or decorative bath-bomb capsules.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the machine handle different capsule types and bottle sizes?
Yes. The machine is highly versatile and can count hard gelatin capsules, HPMC (vegetarian) capsules, and softgels ranging from size 000 to 5. The "No-Bottle-No-Fill" sensor ensures that capsules are only discharged when a container is present. The conveyor and filling head are adjustable, allowing the machine to accommodate various bottle heights and diameters with minimal changeover parts.
How does the machine manage dust, which often interferes with counting?
Pharmaceutical capsules often produce fine powder (dust) during transit. Our machine includes an integrated dust extraction system and dust-protected sensors. The counting tracks feature a perforated vibration plate that allows dust to fall away into a collection tray before the capsules reach the optical sensors, maintaining high speed and accuracy without frequent cleaning stops.
What is the production speed and output of the Automatic model?
The output depends on the number of channels (e.g., 8, 12, or 16 tracks) and the number of capsules per bottle. A standard high-speed model can achieve a production rate of 20 to 50 bottles per minute (based on a 30-count or 60-count bottle). The rotary or linear indexing system ensures a continuous flow, making it ideal for medium-to-large-scale manufacturing.
What are the key cGMP and data safety features?
As a cGMP-compliant unit, the machine is built for highly regulated environments:
Material Integrity: All contact parts are made of SS 316, and non-contact parts are SS 304 stainless steel.
PLC Control: A centralized Touchscreen HMI allows operators to set counts, monitor speeds, and store recipes for different products.
Easy Sanitization: The counting assembly and hopper are designed for tool-less dismantling, allowing for a thorough "Clean-in-Place" (CIP) process between different batches to prevent cross-contamination.
