Capsule Inspection Machine

The CIM capsule inspection machine is used for the visual detection of defective capsules. It uses a roller conveyor which constantly rotates the capsules so that the operator can properly inspect and get a clear view of all sides. It includes a flexible handheld vacuum wand that is used to remove the defective capsule quick and effortlessly. The capsule flows from the hopper into a vibratory chute where a perforated screen eliminates coarse dust and chips, which are collected in a container. The capsules enter the inspection stage in a single layer. The capsules from the vibratory chute are placed on rotating rollers and continuously rotate & transfer in front of the operator, which ensures a reliable all-sided visual inspection. An adjustable mirror enables the operator to inspect the opposite sides of the products. The rotation speed of the inspection rollers is adjustable individually, independent of the inspection speed.

• The rotation and inspection speed of capsule is infinitely adjustable. No hidden corners and blind areas in inspection stage.
• Inspecting rollers are made by FDA accepted transparent high-density polymers. A lighting fixture is installed underneath the roller conveyor belt for illuminating the product from below. This is most suitable for inspection of transparent hard and softgel capsules.
• Defective capsules can be eliminated by the operator with a flexible handheld vacuum nozzle.
• Foot pedal switch to stop the conveyor belt at any time. While foot pedal is pressed, the products keep rotating in front of the operator at a separately adjustable speed.
• Lighting source from top and installed underneath the roller conveyor belt for illuminating the inspection stage in non-flashed fluorescent lamp. Ocular fatigue can be reduced.
• The machine can be completely dismantled without any tools within a few minutes, making it easy to clean with no cross-contamination risk.
• No noisy external vacuum cleaner necessary through the use of compact Venturi suction system.
• Reduced fatigue of the operator through ergonomic design.
