Frequently asked questions
What information is needed to select YOKO-EC-GELATIN empty gelatin capsules?
Provide the intended application (powder filling, pellet filling, or nutraceutical encapsulation), required capsule size, shell color, printing, closure format, packing and moisture-protection requirements, sample requirements, destination, and required documentation. YOKO uses these inputs to review the appropriate empty gelatin capsule supply.
Which capsule sizes are listed for YOKO-EC-GELATIN?
YOKO-EC-GELATIN is listed in sizes 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. The specification table provides the corresponding average shell weight and tolerance, volume, reference capacities at bulk densities of 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2 g/mL, overall length, and cap/body dimensions for each size.
How should the size specifications for YOKO-EC-GELATIN be used?
Use the row for the required capsule size to review the listed average shell weight and tolerance, volume, density-based reference capacities, overall length, and cap/body dimensions. Compatibility with the intended capsule filling line should be confirmed for the selected size.

Automatic Capsule Filling Machine
YOKO-J-H is a model family for automatic filling of hard capsules with powder or granules. Nine reference configurations span 12,000 to 228,000 capsules per hour and support capsule sizes 00 through 4. Model selection should be based on formulation behaviour, target dose, capsule shell, sustained output, cleaning approach, and the required upstream and downstream interfaces rather than nominal speed alone.
