Because of the modular design of this capsule filler, it can be changed over to fill powder, pellets or tablets individually or combined in a short amount of time. The setup of the powder station is simply a routine matter.

With focus on ergonomics and ease in cleaning, Bosch engineers have developed a machine type with minimized changeover and cleaning times to maximize productivity.

Operator control of the machine via touchscreen is operator friendly and easy-to-learn thanks to an intuitive interface. The GKF 1400L is controlled by Industrial PC and with 21 CFR Part 11-compliant software.

• The servo-controlled liquid pump is easy to use.
• Filling volume and the suckback pressure can be adjusted via touch screen.
• Constant temperature control to ensure product integrity
• Flexibility with frequent product changes and medium to small batch sizes
• Designed for a liquid filling production capacity of up to 72,000 capsules per hour.
• Quick changeover to powders, pellets or combination fillings
• Powder dosing and pellet filling via dosing station with slide gate
• Control by industrial PC and 21 CFR Part 11-compliant software
• Touchscreen with user-friendly operator panel
• Minimal number of sizeparts for short changeover and cleaning times
• With the "no cap, no fill" detection function, there is no fill upon detection of missing capsule bodies
• Capsule ejection without compressed air
• Integrated segment cleaning
