Dott Bonapace BD-3000 Hard Gelatin Two-Piece Capsule Bander/Sealer
Automatic, bench top, capsules sealing machine (by banding the two capsule portions)
Ideal to work with our automatic capsules filling machine IN-CAP® - version with liquid filling station
Capsule Bander Change Parts: Comes with Sizes 0
The machine consists of 4 sections:
1. capsule’s orientation
2. capsule’s sealing
3. capsule’s drying
4. 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 gelatin 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 facilitate by air fans which circulate air at ambient temperature.
Finally, capsules are ejected through a chute.
All operations are controlled by a PLC
All our machines are manufactured in accordance with GMP rules and following CE standards and following CE standards.
