NJP-200 / NJP-400 Pharmaceutical Capsule Filling Machines
Compare two compact automatic models for hard-capsule projects. Review rated output, capsule range, utilities, formulation fit and the evidence your team should define before quotation and FAT.

Model decision
Choose by sustained demand, not by the largest speed number
The two models share the published capsule range, power, voltage and footprint. The key published differences are rated output and net weight.

URSAsk for Model Review
Rated output is not the same as sustained line output
Use capsule size, formulation behavior, target fill, cleaning time, shift pattern and downstream line balance to define the required acceptance rate.
Visible working cycle
Follow the capsule through five automatic operations
These close-ups show the equipment path buyers should review when defining capsule handling, dosing, rejection, closing and discharge requirements.
01
Feed & orient
Empty hard capsules enter the indexed handling path.
02
Separate & position
Caps and bodies are prepared for the dosing step.
03
Meter the fill
The dosing configuration must be tested with representative material.
04
Close & lock
Filled bodies and caps are rejoined before discharge.
05
Eject & reset
Finished capsules leave while tooling returns for the next index.
Acceptance point: the URS should define what counts as a good capsule, a reject, a stoppage and a sustained production run. A photograph explains the mechanism; representative-sample testing proves suitability.
Compare the published baseline
Then confirm the final electrical, utility, tooling and documentation scope in the quotation.

The source does not define whether “filling precision >98%” means fill-weight conformity, capsule qualification or another metric. Define the calculation, sampling plan and acceptance limit in the URS and FAT protocol instead of treating it as an assumed weight-deviation guarantee.
Engineering close-ups
Inspect the operator interface, dosing area and indexed platform
These are the areas your production and validation teams should connect to recipes, cleaning access, alarms, change parts and evidence collection.
HMI & operator controls
Confirm the quoted HMI make, recipe access, alarm history, user permissions and the evidence expected by your operating procedure.
Dosing & product contact
Review material flow, target fill range, accessible contact parts, cleaning method and required change parts.
Indexed platform & tooling
Check station access, capsule-size tooling, adjustment points and how the machine resets between indexes.
URS: state the function and acceptance rule.Quotation: list included tooling and options.FAT: witness the agreed challenge with samples.
Formulation fit
Test the material you will actually put into the capsule
The platform is described for powder, granule and pellet applications, but formulation behavior determines the final dosing setup and acceptance window.
Different process boundary: oil, suspension and other liquid fills require a dedicated liquid-filling and sealing route. Do not assume a powder dosing disk is suitable.
Review liquid capsule filling →The quotation follows the process definitionModel name alone is not enough to define tooling, utilities, auxiliaries and documentation.

URS to FAT
Turn a speed claim into a testable acceptance plan
A useful machine review connects the buyer’s process definition to configuration, sample trials and witnessed evidence.
Define the URS
State capsule, formulation, dose, output, utilities, cleaning and documents.
Freeze the scope
Confirm model, tooling, options, interfaces and responsibilities in the quotation.

Selection boundary
Choose a different route when the process changes
NJP-200 and NJP-400 are not the answer to every capsule project. Use the process boundary below before requesting a quotation.
Semi-automatic route
Use when operator handling and plate transfer are acceptable.

NJP-200 and NJP-400 capsule filling machine FAQ
Use these answers to prepare the first technical review. Final acceptance still belongs in your URS, quotation and FAT protocol.
What is the difference between NJP-200 and NJP-400?
The published capacity is 200 capsules per minute for NJP-200 and 400 capsules per minute for NJP-400. Both list capsule sizes 00#–5#, 3 kW power and the same 700 × 900 × 1800 mm overall dimensions; the published net weights are 600 kg and 700 kg respectively.
What is the hourly output of NJP-200 and NJP-400?
The rated conversions are 12,000 and 24,000 capsules per hour. Sustained output depends on the capsule, formulation, fill target, settings, supplies and downstream line balance.
Which capsule sizes are listed for these machines?
The Trustar table lists capsule sizes 00# through 5# for both models. Each required size and its change parts should be identified in the quotation.
Can these models fill powder, granules and pellets?
Trustar describes the pharmaceutical dosing-disk architecture for powder, granule and pellet applications. Representative product testing is still required to confirm the selected configuration and FAT limits.
What utilities are published?
The published table lists 380 V, 50 Hz, 3-phase power, 3 kW and a vacuum range of −0.04 to −0.085 MPa. Confirm the complete point-of-use utility schedule in the project quotation.
How much does an NJP-200 or NJP-400 cost?
Current price depends on model, capsule tooling, formulation handling, electrical configuration, utilities, auxiliaries, documentation, service and destination. A formal quotation is required; this page does not reuse an unverified fixed public price.
What should I send for a configuration review?
Send capsule size and shell samples, formulation data, target fill range, sustained output, batch and shift plan, utilities, change parts, downstream equipment, destination and documentation requirements.
Choose the model after the formulation and batch plan are reviewed
HIJ can compare NJP-200 and NJP-400 against your capsules, material, sustained output, utilities, tooling, documentation and downstream scope.
