Automatic Capsule Counting and Filling Machine
Achieve 100% accuracy in your pharmaceutical and nutraceutical packaging with the Harsiddh Automatic Capsule Counting and Filling Machine. This state-of-the-art system is specifically engineered to count and fill all sizes of hard gelatin capsules, soft gels, and caplets into bottles with surgical precision.
Utilizing advanced multi-channel electronic sensors and a patented vibration-based feeding mechanism, our machine ensures zero breakage and high-speed operation, even in dusty production environments.
High-Precision Counting Technology
The Harsiddh capsule filler is designed to eliminate counting discrepancies while maximizing production uptime:
- Anti-Dust Sensor Technology: Our proprietary sensor system ensures accurate detection and counting even when processing uncoated capsules that generate heavy dust.
- Smart Rejection System: The machine automatically identifies and removes bottles with filling irregularities or broken capsules from the line without stopping production.
- “No Bottle – No Fill” Logic: Intelligent PLC-controlled sensors prevent product wastage by ensuring the counting channels only release when a bottle is perfectly indexed.
- Patented Gentle Feeding: A unique vibratory feeding system ensures capsules are moved smoothly into the filling head, preventing damage to the delicate shells.

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.
