Struggling with Inaccurate Manual Filling and Low Output?
If you're still relying on manual or outdated semi-manual processes, you're facing real risks to your product quality, compliance, and profitability.
Inconsistent Dosing
Manual filling leads to unacceptable weight variations, risking product quality, patient safety, and regulatory compliance. A single failed audit can cost hundreds of thousands in remediation and lost revenue.
Production Bottlenecks
Filling thousands of capsules by hand is slow, laborious, and impossible to scale. Your team's time is wasted on repetitive tasks, and you can't meet growing demand or take on new contracts.
Contamination Risks
Open-air manual processes increase the risk of cross-contamination and are extremely difficult to validate for GMP. This puts your entire operation at risk during inspections.
The HIJ-CFS is engineered as your all-in-one solution for a streamlined, compliant, and efficient capsule filling process.
The Solution: Precision Engineering
Our precision tamping station ensures uniform powder density and accurate filling with ±3% consistency. Every capsule meets your exact specifications, every single time.
A Simple, 4-Step Process for Perfect Capsules Every Time
From loading empty capsules to collecting filled, tamper-evident products—our machine automates the entire workflow with precision and speed.
Capsule Loading & Separation
Place the capsule loading tray, and the machine automatically orients and separates the caps from the bodies in seconds. No manual sorting required.
Precision Powder Filling
The powder hopper evenly distributes the formulation, and the tamping station compacts the powder to your desired density for precise dosing.
Capsule Closing & Locking
The machine securely joins the caps and bodies, providing a tamper-evident, perfectly locked capsule that meets pharmaceutical standards.
Ejection of Filled Capsules
With a simple action, the filled capsules are ejected into a collection bin, ready for the next step of your process—bottling, blister packaging, or further inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get expert answers to the most common questions about the HIJ-CFS capsule filling machine from our 20+ years of manufacturing experience.
The HIJ-CFS features our new aviation-grade aluminum tooling system with convenient mold replacement design. Changeover between capsule sizes (from 000# to 5#) can be completed in under 30 minutes by a trained operator. The new sacking device provides stable performance and makes mold replacement significantly faster than traditional systems. We provide detailed changeover videos and can arrange hands-on training during installation to ensure your team can perform size changes efficiently.
The HIJ-CFS is designed to handle powder, granules, and pellets with excellent versatility. It works effectively with fine pharmaceutical powders (APIs, excipients), herbal powders, vitamin blends, protein powders, and small pellets up to 2mm diameter. The frequency conversion speed regulation allows you to adjust filling speed to match your material's flow characteristics, achieving 97% dosing accuracy. For challenging materials (very light powders, sticky formulations, or hygroscopic substances), our engineering team can recommend pre-treatment steps or custom filling parameters.
Yes, absolutely. We provide comprehensive validation documentation including Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) protocols. Our documentation package includes detailed drawings, material certificates for all product-contact parts (316L stainless steel), calibration certificates, and step-by-step validation procedures that comply with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 15 requirements. We also provide ongoing support during regulatory inspections and can customize validation protocols to meet your specific site requirements.
The HIJ-CFS requires minimal maintenance thanks to its robust construction. Daily: Basic cleaning of powder-contact surfaces (15 minutes). Weekly: Lubrication of moving parts and inspection of tamping mechanisms (30 minutes). Monthly: Deep cleaning, belt tension check, and calibration verification (2 hours). Annual: Comprehensive inspection and preventive parts replacement. All maintenance procedures are clearly documented in our comprehensive maintenance manual, and we provide spare parts kits and optional maintenance contracts with priority support response.
The HIJ-CFS can handle pellets up to 2mm diameter effectively, making it suitable for sustained-release formulations and enteric-coated pellets. However, this model is not designed for liquid filling. For liquid or paste formulations, we recommend our specialized liquid capsule filling systems (HIJ-CFS-L Series) which feature micropump dosing systems and heated filling stations. If you need to fill both powder and liquid products, we can configure a combination solution or provide separate specialized machines that share common changeover parts and operating principles.
