Professional Hard Capsule Filling Solutions

Designed for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical & herbal manufacturers

The NJP Series automatic capsule filling machines are engineered for pharmaceutical companies, nutraceutical manufacturers, and contract manufacturers requiring high-speed, precision encapsulation with GMP compliance.

Our machines utilize the proven tamping pin dosing system, where powder is compressed into a dosing chamber and then ejected into capsule bodies. This ensures:

Uniform dosing with ±3-5% filling accuracy across all capsule sizes (#000 to #5)
High production speed up to 228,000 capsules/hour for large-scale manufacturing
Flexible filling - powders, granules, pellets, micro-tablets, and combinations
Quick changeover - 20-30 minutes for size change with quick-change tooling

All contact parts are fabricated from 316L stainless steel with pharmaceutical-grade surface finish (Ra ≤ 0.4 μm). The machines are designed for CIP-compatible cleaning and meet cGMP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and EU GMP requirements.
