Trusted by Leading Pharma Companies:
Are Inaccurate Dosing, Production Bottlenecks, and Compliance Risks Slowing You Down?
Manual & Semi-Auto Filling
Leads to inconsistent weights, high labor costs, and significant contamination risks, making stringent cGMP compliance nearly impossible to maintain and validate.
Outdated Machinery
Suffers from frequent downtime and difficult-to-clean parts. Crucially, it lacks the data integrity and audit trails required for modern compliance like 21 CFR Part 11.
Low-Quality Imports
Promise low prices but deliver poor accuracy, high capsule rejection rates (>5%), and frustratingly non-existent after-sales support, ultimately costing you more.
The HIJ-NJP Series was engineered from 20 years of industry experience to solve these challenges. It’s not just a machine; it's your guarantee for precise, compliant, and efficient capsule production.
Discover Your SolutionA Fully Enclosed, Station-by-Station Process for Perfect Capsules, Every Time
Our HIJ-NJP series transforms empty capsules into finished products through a precision-engineered sequence, ensuring maximum yield and cGMP compliance at every stage.
Capsule Rectification & Separation
Empty capsules are perfectly oriented and separated using an advanced vacuum mechanism. This critical first step achieves a qualification rate of over 99%, minimizing waste from the very beginning.
Precision Powder/Pellet Dosing
The dosing disk station provides exceptional filling accuracy of within ±3%. A sophisticated 5-stage tamping system ensures consistent powder slug formation for precise, repeatable weight control, batch after batch.
Unseparated Capsule Rejection
A smart detection system automatically identifies and rejects any unseparated capsules before the filling stage. This intelligent feature saves valuable formulation powder and ensures ultimate process integrity.
Secure Capsule Locking
The dedicated locking station ensures every capsule is securely closed and perfectly locked. This prevents separation during downstream handling (like polishing and blistering) and protects your final product's integrity.
Ejection & Station Cleaning
Finished, perfect capsules are smoothly ejected. Simultaneously, segment borings are cleaned with blasts of compressed air, ensuring the station is pristine and ready for the next cycle, preventing cross-contamination.
Engineered for Performance, Designed for Compliance
Every feature of the HIJ-NJP series is purposefully designed to deliver measurable business value—from faster changeovers to regulatory peace of mind.
Fully Enclosed Dosing & Rotating Table
Prevents cross-contamination and protects operators, ensuring a cGMP-compliant production environment. The enclosed design eliminates airborne powder exposure and meets the strictest pharmaceutical cleanliness standards.

Get instant answers to the most common questions our clients ask about the HIJ-NJP Series and pharmaceutical capsule filling technology.
The HIJ-NJP Series achieves an industry-leading filling accuracy of ±3% or better. This exceptional precision is made possible by our proprietary dosing disc mechanism combined with a 5-stage tamping system.
For example, if your target fill weight is 500mg, the actual fill will consistently be between 485mg and 515mg across thousands of capsules. This level of accuracy ensures:
- Regulatory compliance: Meets USP, EP, and cGMP weight variation requirements.
- Cost savings: Minimizes overfilling and product waste.
- Patient safety: Ensures consistent dosing for critical pharmaceutical formulations.
During Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), we validate the accuracy with your actual powder or pellet formulation to guarantee performance before shipment.
Yes, the HIJ-NJP Series is specifically engineered to handle challenging powder characteristics, including:
- Fine powders (down to 50 microns): The fully enclosed dosing station prevents powder escape and ensures consistent flow.
- Sticky or hygroscopic powders: Anti-adhesive coating on contact parts and adjustable tamping pressure prevent powder buildup.
- Low-density or fluffy powders: The 5-stage tamping system compresses powder into uniform slugs before filling.
- Granules and pellets (up to 3mm): The dosing disc design accommodates a wide range of particle sizes.
For unique formulations, our engineering team can customize the dosing disc configuration and tamping parameters during the URS phase to optimize performance for your specific material properties.
For the TCF-1200 (72,000 capsules/hour capacity), our standard lead time is:
- Standard configuration: 6-8 weeks from order confirmation and deposit payment.
- Custom configuration: 10-12 weeks (e.g., special voltage requirements, explosion-proof version, or integration with existing line equipment).
Our lead time includes:
- Manufacturing and quality control testing.
- Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) with your team (in-person or remote).
- Complete documentation package (IQ/OQ protocols, user manuals, spare parts list).
- Professional packaging for international shipping.
We provide weekly production updates and can expedite delivery for urgent projects. Contact our team for a detailed project timeline.
Absolutely. Comprehensive validation support is a cornerstone of our turnkey service. We provide:
- IQ (Installation Qualification) Protocol: Step-by-step installation verification checklist, including equipment specifications, component lists, and utility requirements.
- OQ (Operational Qualification) Protocol: Test procedures to verify that the machine operates according to design specifications across all operating ranges.
- FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) Report: Documented proof that the machine passed all performance tests at our facility before shipment.
- SAT (Site Acceptance Test) Support: On-site commissioning assistance to execute IQ/OQ at your facility.
- cGMP Compliance Documentation: Material certificates (SS304/316L), electrical safety certificates (CE), and software validation documents (21 CFR Part 11 ready).
All documents are provided in English and can be customized to align with your company's validation templates and regulatory requirements (FDA, EMA, WHO GMP, etc.).
The HIJ-NJP Series is designed from the ground up for cGMP compliance. Every design decision reflects international pharmaceutical manufacturing standards:
- All product-contact parts in SS316L: Corrosion-resistant, non-reactive, and easy to clean/sanitize.
- Fully enclosed dosing & rotating table: Prevents cross-contamination and protects operators from powder exposure.
- Tool-free disassembly: Critical parts (dosing disc, powder hopper, tamping pins) can be removed and cleaned in under 15 minutes without tools, facilitating validation cleaning studies.
- No dead spaces: Smooth internal surfaces with minimal crevices reduce bacterial harbourage risk.
- Siemens PLC with HMI touchscreen: Provides audit trail capabilities (user login, batch records, alarm logs) to support 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
- Electrical safety to CE/UL standards: All electrical components are rated for pharmaceutical cleanroom environments.
We also provide a Design Qualification (DQ) document upon request, which outlines how each design feature supports cGMP principles (e.g., quality, safety, traceability, and data integrity).
