Capsule Filling Machine Guarantees Absolute Protection of Both Personnel and Products

The Bosch GKF HiProTect capsule filling machine completely isolates researchers and manufacturers from active substances during operation, maintenance and cleaning. The technology allows a variety of sizes and product types to be produced. Bosch’s exceptional cleaning technology provides excellent confidence in cleaning the equipment from product to product and preventing cross-contamination.

Bosch Packaging Technology’s GKF HiProTect is suited for a wide range of filling operations, such as powder, tablets, pellets and combination filling. Its modular design concept makes it adaptable to exact customer applications by adding additional stations.

The GKF HiProTect can be customised according to individual demands. For instance, it can be equipped with a statistical in-process weight control. The weight of both empty and filled capsules is determined in different stages of checkweighing. The weighing station provides automatic feedback to the powder dosing station. This process allows for self-regulating adjustments of filling levels. The optional 100% capsule control unit ensures real-time quality checks that result in a constantly controlled process and provide high product quality.

Frequent product or batch changes require thorough cleaning processes. The Bosch GKF HiProTect capsule filling machine has an integrated system that maintains the level of operator protection during cleaning. Several spray nozzles clean the entire machine and the programmable washing system stores and recalls cleaning protocols. This ensures a reproducible WIP process that can be fully validated.
