YOKO BIOPHARM Capsule Filler Machines: Versatile Solutions & Expert Selection Guide
As a global leader in pharmaceutical equipment and excipients, YOKO BIOPHARM offers a full range of empty capsule filler machines for pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and health products. These precision machines integrate compliance, efficiency, and flexibility, supporting production from small-batch R&D to large-scale industrialization. Below is a concise overview of core models and a practical selection guide.
Core Filler Machine Series & Key Functions
YOKO BIOPHARM’s filler machines cover diverse types, adapting to different materials, automation levels, and capsule variants (gelatin/vegetable-based):
1.Semi-Automatic Filler Machines: Ideal for small-medium batches, with auto separation, filling, and locking (manual loading/unloading only). Supports 00#-4# capsules, ±3% filling accuracy, and 10,000-20,000 capsules/hour. Cost-effective, easy to maintain, fit for startups and custom small-batch production.

2.Fully Automatic Filler Machines: Core for large-scale lines, integrating auto feeding, sorting, filling, defect rejection, and counting. Servo-driven with visual inspection, it delivers ±1%-±2% accuracy and up to 150,000 capsules/hour. GMP/FDA compliant, widely used for bulk pharmaceutical production.

3.Multi-Material Filler Machines: Customized for powder, granule, or liquid with replaceable modules. For poor-flow powder: forced feeding; for granules: anti-fragmentation metering. Compatible with HPMC vegetable capsules, aligning with green trends.
4.Laboratory-Scale Filler Machines: Compact for R&D/clinical trials, 600-4,000 capsules/hour. Flexible parameter adjustment, multi-spec compatibility, and consistent accuracy for samples.
Expert Selection Guide
1. Based on Product Performance Requirements
- Material Characteristics: Powder-specific (dust-proof/uniform filling); granule-compatible (anti-fragmentation); liquid (leak-proof sealing).
- Capsule Type: Ensure compatibility with gelatin/vegetable-based capsules (00#-4#). YOKO’s machines are optimized for vegetable capsules to avoid deformation.
- Compliance & Precision: Pharma needs GMP/FDA/EP compliance, ≤±3% accuracy, and traceability; nutraceuticals balance precision and cost.
2. Based on Production Scale
- Small-Batch (<50k capsules/day): Semi-automatic/lab-scale machines (compact, low-cost, easy to operate) for R&D/boutique production.
- Medium-Scale (50k-500k capsules/day): Entry-level fully automatic machines (balances efficiency and flexibility, cuts labor costs).
- Large-Scale (>500k capsules/day): High-speed fully automatic machines (continuous production, auto defect rejection, line integration).
3. Based on Customized Customer Requirements
- Custom Functions: YOKO offers tailored solutions (multi-material filling, capsule printing integration, auto-cleaning) for specific processes.
- On-Site Needs: Compact models for limited space; voltage/air supply compatibility. On-site layout design and training are provided.
- After-Sales: Prioritize modular machines. YOKO provides global 24-hour tech support and spare parts for uninterrupted production.
