Applications

Pharmaceutical R&D and formulation development Phase I-III clinical trial batch production Nutraceutical and dietary supplement manufacturing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal powders Small-batch contract manufacturing (CMO services) Veterinary pharmaceutical capsule production

Application Case Study

In a representative deployment, a European nutraceutical startup used the NJP-800 to bridge from contract manufacturing to in-house production of a turmeric-and-black-pepper capsule sold in size #1 HPMC shells. Running 45,000 caps/hr across two daily shifts, the lab validated a 300 mg powder fill at +/-4% against 25-batch records and completed a 5,000-unit stability study for a Phase II nutraceutical claim. The 20-minute tool-free changeover let the team switch between #1 and #4 sizes for a children's SKU without halting the cleanroom, and the built-in rejection of empty capsules removed the need for downstream manual inspection. Within six months the machine paid back its cost versus toll filling and freed the team to iterate formulations weekly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the actual production capacity of the NJP-800 per hour?

The NJP-800 produces 30,000 to 60,000 capsules per hour depending on capsule size and fill weight. Larger capsules (size #0 and #000) run at the lower end of the range, while smaller sizes (#4 and #5) achieve the higher throughput.

What capsule sizes can the NJP-800 process?

The NJP-800 handles all standard capsule sizes from #000 (largest) down to #5 (smallest). Both gelatin and HPMC (vegetarian) capsules are supported without any mechanical adjustment or tooling changeover.

How does the NJP-800 compare to manual capsule filling?

The NJP-800 eliminates the labor intensity and variability of manual filling. It delivers consistent +/-3-5% filling accuracy at 30,000+ caps/hr, dramatically reducing labor costs and batch-to-batch variation in pharmaceutical production.

Is on-site installation and training included with the NJP-800 purchase?

Yes. YohoAI provides 5-7 days of on-site installation, commissioning, and operator training by qualified engineers at no additional cost. Free process trials are also available at the Shanghai factory before machine acceptance.

What power supply does the NJP-800 require?

The standard NJP-800 operates on a 5.5 kW power supply. Optional configurations for 220V/60Hz, 415V/50Hz, and other country-specific voltages are available upon request to match your facility infrastructure.

What is the price of this machine?

Every unit is built to order, so a firm price comes from your specification, not from a catalogue. Six points decide it: target output per hour, product type (powder, granules, pellets, oil, cream), package format and size, voltage and frequency, certification and documentation package, and delivery terms. Send those six points and you receive a written offer with price, lead time and scope of supply within 24 hours. No obligation, NDA on request. Use the six-point specification form.

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.

Technical Detail: Dosing & Control

Beyond the headline figures, the NJP-800 is built around a servo-driven intermittent-motion turret and a five-stage tamping-pin dosing station that meters powder, granules, pellets and micro-tablets into each capsule body with +/-3-5% weight uniformity. The dosing disc, tamping pins and all product-contact parts are machined from 316L stainless steel with a mirror-polished Ra <= 0.4 um surface to prevent powder adhesion and ease cleaning. A 7-inch HMI stores up to 20 formulation recipes for one-touch changeover, while a vacuum-assisted capsule separator and capsule-without-powder detection feed rejects straight to a waste chute. Pneumatics run on 0.4-0.6 MPa clean compressed air, and an integrated safety interlock halts the turret if any guard is opened during operation.

How to Choose the Right Model

Choosing the right NJP model is a trade-off between throughput, footprint and budget rather than capability. The NJP-800 delivers 30,000-60,000 caps/hr from 8 stations and fits a 1.0 x 1.2 m bench, making it ideal for R&D labs, clinical-trial batches and low-volume CMO work where flexibility matters more than raw output. The NJP-1200 adds two stations and dual powder-plus-pellet dosing at 48,000 caps/hr for mid-volume nutraceutical lines. The NJP-2000 scales to 120,000 caps/hr across 14 stations with 15-minute quick changeover for dedicated commercial production. All three share the same +/-3-5% accuracy, 5.5 kW drive and CE/cGMP/ISO 9001 package, so the decision comes down to annual volume: below 30M capsules choose the 800, 30-80M the 1200, and 80M+ the 2000.

Installation, Setup & Maintenance Guide

Unpack the NJP-800 upon delivery and inspect all components against the packing list. Position the machine on a level, vibration-dampening foundation in a clean, dust-controlled environment. Connect to 5.5 kW power supply matching your local voltage configuration (220V/60Hz, 415V/50Hz, or 380V/50Hz 3-phase available). Commissioning requires YohoAI on-site engineers for 5-7 days of installation, calibration, and operator training at no extra cost. Free factory acceptance trials at the Shanghai facility are available before final machine acceptance.

Daily maintenance begins with a pre-shift inspection of the capsule feeding system and tamping pins for wear or debris. Verify the automatic rejection system activates correctly for unfilled or malformed capsules. After each production run, purge the filling hopper and inspect all product-contact surfaces for residue buildup. Weekly lubrication of the rotary turret bearings and cam followers using food-grade lubricant is mandatory. Record all maintenance activities in the GMP batch log to maintain regulatory compliance.

Periodic maintenance every 500 operating hours includes inspection and replacement of tamping pin springs, dosing chamber seals, and capsule alignment pins. Inspect the 316L stainless steel contact parts for surface finish degradation and verify Ra < 0.8 um finish is maintained. Pellet dosing needles (if configured) require alignment checks every 500 hours. YohoAI stocks all spare parts globally with 48-hour shipment lead time. Annual preventive maintenance kits are recommended for uninterrupted production schedules.

Maintenance Checklist

  • ✓Inspect capsule feeding rails and separation pins before each shift for debris or wear
  • ✓Verify automatic rejection system activates correctly for unfilled/malformed capsules
  • ✓Clean product-contact surfaces with approved cleaning agent after every production run
  • ✓Lubricate rotary turret bearings and cam followers with food-grade lubricant weekly
  • ✓Check and adjust tamping pin spring tension every 500 operating hours
  • ✓Inspect pellet dosing needles for alignment and wear every 500 hours (pellet config only)
  • ✓Verify 316L SS contact part surface finish (Ra < 0.8 um) during quarterly maintenance

Reliability & Spare-Parts Program

Routine reliability on the NJP-800 depends on a disciplined preventive schedule. Operators should perform a weekly calibration of the dosing-pin spring tension and verify the weight-check reject threshold against a 20-capsule sample using an analytical balance. Common faults are easy to isolate: uneven fill weight usually traces to worn tamping pins or inconsistent powder bulk density, while capsule jams point to misaligned separation pins or compressed-air pressure below 0.4 MPa. YohoAI ships a global spare-parts kit - dosing discs, pins, seals, alignment bushings - with 48-hour dispatch and recommends holding one changeover set on site to avoid line stoppage. A full preventive-maintenance kit every 2,000 operating hours, plus an annual factory service, keeps OEE above 92% and preserves cGMP documentation continuity.
