Key Features

2

Dual Dosing Chamber System

The NJP-1200 supports both tamping pin (powder/granule) and dedicated pellet dosing configurations. Switch between formats in under 30 minutes using the quick-change tooling system.

h

Superior Pellet Handling

Dedicated pellet dosing needles protect pellet integrity during filling, preventing breakage that common powder-only machines cause. Ideal for enteric-coated, sustained-release, and multi-particulate formulations.

t

Tamping Pin for Poor-Flowing Powders

The five-time tamping pin cycle densifies cohesive herbal powders, micronized APIs, and flow-aid-dependent formulations into uniform plugs with consistent weight at 48,000 caps/hr.

c

Combination Fill Capability

Run powder-and-pellet combination filling in a single capsule body using dual dosing stations. Perfect for staggered-release formulations where an immediate-dose powder and controlled-release pellet are combined.

r

Auto Rejection & Weight Monitoring

Under-filled, over-filled, and defective capsules are automatically rejected from the production stream. Optional inline weight monitoring with statistical process control (SPC) feedback is available.

s

Compact Footprint, Full Features

At 1.2m x 1.4m, the NJP-1200 fits into existing medium-scale production areas. Despite its compact size, it includes the full HMI recipe management, audit logging, and GMP documentation of larger models.

Applications

Pellet-based sustained-release capsule formulations Enteric-coated pellet encapsulation Nutraceutical powder and pellet combination products Herbal medicine multi-extract capsule formulations Probiotic dual-chamber capsule production Contract manufacturing for powder and pellet products

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the NJP-1200 fill both powder and pellets without reconfiguring the machine?

The NJP-1200 requires a format changeover (20-30 minutes) when switching between powder and pellet filling modes. This involves swapping the dosing chamber insert and adjusting the tamping pin depth settings, all performed without special tools.

What makes the NJP-1200 suitable for herbal capsule formulations?

The NJP-1200 excels with herbal formulations due to its tamping pin system, which handles the cohesive, poor-flowing characteristics of dried botanical powders. It produces consistent fill weights even with high-fiber and high-extract herbal ingredients.

Does the NJP-1200 support combination filling (powder plus pellet in one capsule)?

Yes. The NJP-1200 can be configured with a dual-dosing setup where a powder layer is tamped into the capsule body first, followed by a pellet layer on top. This is ideal for combination nutraceutical products and dual-release pharmaceutical formulations.

What is the maintenance requirement for pellet filling mode on the NJP-1200?

Pellet dosing needles require regular inspection for wear and alignment checks every 500 operating hours. YohoAI includes a full preventive maintenance schedule and operator-level inspection training as part of the standard installation and commissioning package.

Can the NJP-1200 handle very small pellets or micro-tablets for precision dosing?

Yes. The NJP-1200 pellet dosing configuration handles micro-tablets as small as 1mm diameter reliably. The precision needle array ensures each capsule receives the target number of micro-tablets with uniform distribution, making it suitable for clinical trial dose calibration.

What is the price of this machine?

Pricing varies by configuration and accessories. Please send us your specific requirements including production capacity needs, tube/can/capsule format, and required certifications. We typically respond within 2 hours with CIF/CFR/FOB pricing.

What is the delivery time?

Standard delivery ranges from 30-90 working days depending on the model and configuration. Pharmaceutical GMP configurations with validation documentation packages require additional 5-10 working days. Expedited manufacturing is available for urgent orders at a 15-25% premium.

What certifications does this machine carry?

All YohoAI machines carry CE certification and are designed to meet cGMP and ISO9001 standards. Additional certifications including FDA compliance and specific food-grade standards are available depending on the product line and configuration.

Installation, Setup & Maintenance Guide

Install the NJP-1200 on a rigid, level foundation in an ISO Class 8 cleanroom environment. Connect the machine to a 5.5 kW power supply (220V/60Hz, 415V/50Hz, or 380V/50Hz 3-phase options available). The dual-format configuration requires initial calibration of both the tamping pin powder chamber and the pellet dosing needle array. YohoAI engineers provide 5-7 days of on-site installation, commissioning, and operator training at no additional charge. Request a factory acceptance trial at the Shanghai facility before final acceptance to validate both powder and pellet filling modes.

Daily checks focus on the capsule separation and dosing systems. Inspect the 10-station turret indexing mechanism for smooth operation and verify the automatic rejection system correctly ejects under-filled, over-filled, and malformed capsules. When operating in pellet mode, visually confirm pellet integrity (no breakage or fragmentation) during the first 10 minutes of each run. After switching between powder and pellet formats, thoroughly clean the dual dosing chamber assembly and verify no cross-contamination before running the next product.

Quarterly maintenance for the NJP-1200 includes inspecting both the tamping pin assembly and pellet dosing needles for wear. Pellet needles are particularly critical: check for bent tips, alignment deviation, and surface scoring every 500 operating hours. Replace dosing chamber seals and tamping pin springs at recommended intervals. The 316L stainless steel product-contact surfaces should be verified for Ra < 0.8 um finish during annual maintenance. Store a spare parts kit covering seals, springs, and needles to minimize unplanned downtime during production campaigns.

Maintenance Checklist

  • Verify 10-station turret indexing smoothness and capsule alignment before each production run
  • Confirm automatic rejection system ejects under-filled and malformed capsules accurately
  • Inspect pellet needles for tip wear, bending, and alignment after 500 operating hours
  • Clean dual dosing chamber assembly thoroughly when switching between powder and pellet modes
  • Replace tamping pin springs and dosing chamber seals per the preventive maintenance schedule
  • Check 316L SS contact part surface finish (Ra < 0.8 um) during annual maintenance inspection
  • Maintain a stocked spare parts kit (seals, springs, needles) to minimize production downtime
