NJP-200C Automatic Capsule Filling Machine — 12,000 Capsules/Hour
Three bores, 200 capsules a minute, 00# to 5#
The NJP-200C fills 12,000 capsules an hour. It’s the entry point of the NJP range — the same ten-station rotary layout as the bigger machines, scaled down to three dosing bores.
1.Output: Up to 12,000 pcs/h (Ideal for pilot runs).
2.Fill weight accuracy: ±3% on pharmaceutical powder, ±4% on herbal powder
3.Versatility: Supports capsule sizes #000 to #5 with quick mold changes.
4.Powder handling: Vibration-assisted butterfly valve hopper — force-feeds sticky herbal powders that jam a screw feeder
Is the NJP-200C the right filler for you?
✓ This is a fit if…
- You need around 12,000 capsules an hour as a sustained rate
- You're running product development, stability batches or small commercial runs
- You're filling powder, granule or pellets
- You run 00# to 5# capsules
- Your room holds 21 °C ± 3 °C and 40–60% humidity
✕ Look elsewhere if…
- You need more than 12,000 an hour → the NJP-400C runs 24,000 for a modest step up
- This is your only machine and you plan to scale within a year → buying the 400C now costs less than buying the 200C twice
- You're doing bench-scale R&D only → a semi-automatic filler costs a fraction of this
- Your powder is very fine and highly potent → an enclosed rotary machine with dust extraction is not the same as a contained or isolator system. Tell us your OEB band first
- Precision Vacuum Separation：Utilizes advanced patented vacuum technology to ensure a 99.9% capsule feeding success ratewithout damaging the shells.
Intelligent Siemens Control：Integrated with a Siemens PLC and HMI touchscreen for real-time monitoring, recipe management, and data export.
Rapid Changeover Design：Modular tooling allows a single operator to complete a full size changeover (#000-5) in less than 20 minutes.
Dust-Free Operation：Features an enclosed dosing station and integrated vacuum cleaning to prevent cross-contamination and ensure operator safety.

The D suffix is a configuration, not just a speed step. C-type machines use a water-ring vacuum pump and external-groove cam lubrication. The D adds a dry vacuum pump — no water to refill, no scale build-up — plus enclosed internal-groove cams with automatic timed oiling, and a nano anti-corrosion coating over the same pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel. If your formulation is corrosive or your maintenance team is thin, that’s what you’re paying for.
Butterfly valve hopper with forced vibration
Adopting disc valve type feeding method, additional vibration device, for Chinese herbalmedicine, Chinese patent medicine, etc., for the powder with poor fluidity, forcedvibration feeding, to solve the problem of poor feeding.
High-Precision Independent Module Movement
The upper die module performs dedicated vertical lifting movements, ensuring perfect alignment during the capsule opening and closing stages.The main die module executes precise horizontal stretching movements, optimizing the distribution and tamping of materials for higher filling accuracy.
Negative-pressure powder recovery
Our automated powder recovery system utilizes integrated negative pressure technology to capture and recycle stray material from failed capsule separations. By filtering and enabling the immediate re-use of high-value powders without cross-contamination, this design ensures a dust-free workspace, and delivers a significant return on investment through maximized material yield.
Keeping Powder Out of the Drive System
The enclosed turntable runs three years without internal maintenance or manual oiling with a dual-lip skeleton dust ring to prevent powder ingress.
How Much API Are You Losing per Batch?
A sophisticated negative-pressure system recycles stray powder, delivering cost savings for high-volume runs.
Running at 12,000/h Without Losing Fill Accuracy
Unlike smaller models, the NJP-200C utilizes a 10-station workflow to ensure more precise capsule separation and locking at higher speeds.
Industrial Applications
Changeover: what you change and how long it takes
What you changed | What gets adjusted | Roughly how long |
Same capsule, different fill weight | Tamping pin depth on the dosing station | 15-30mins |
Fill weight beyond the adjustment range | Swap the dosing disc for a different thickness | 15-30mins |
Different capsule size | Full tooling set: upper and lower modules, tamping pins, capsule tubes, alignment combs, feeding combs, dosing disc, alignment bars | 15-30mins |
Dosing disc thickness is the second lever. When tamping depth reaches its mechanical limit and you still can’t hit your target fill weight, you change the disc rather than fighting the machine. It’s a physical volume change, not a calibration.
The gaps matter more than they sound. Dosing disc to copper ring: 0.08–0.12 mm. Isolation block to disc: 0.05–0.1 mm. Every disc change means resetting the second one. Too tight and the disc binds; too loose and powder leaks and your fill weight scatters.
Cleaning is the long part. Between products, the powder hopper, dosing ring, upper and lower modules, tamping pins and dosing disc all come out. Parts above the machine table are cleaned with alcohol on lint-free cloth — never gasoline, kerosene, hydrogen peroxide or acetone.
What to check before you order — from any supplier
Ask to see the machine running your powder, not a demo powder
Lactose and starch run beautifully on everything. Ask for a video of your own material, or send a 2 kg sample for a trial run. Any factory that won't do this is telling you something.
Ask what the sustained rate is, not the maximum rate
Catalogue output figures are peak numbers. Ask what the machine holds over an eight-hour shift with your fill weight and your capsule size, and what the reject rate looks like at that speed.
Ask for the operating manual before you pay
If the adjustment procedures aren't in it — tamping pin height, dosing disc clearances, vacuum settings — your operators will be calling the factory every time something drifts.
Ask which parts are wear parts and what they cost
On a capsule filler that means seals, tamping pins and the dosing disc. Get the list and the prices in writing with the quotation.
Ask what the electrical supply actually is
Most machines from Asia ship at 380V / 50Hz as standard. Confirm in writing that yours will arrive configured for your plant, and whether the output figure still holds after the change.
Ask who installs it and who trains your operators
"We provide installation support" can mean an engineer on your floor or a PDF. Ask which, ask for how many days, and ask what happens if commissioning takes longer.
Why Choose AIPAK
Why buy this machine from us
Accuracy you can check Fill weight accuracy is ±3% on pharmaceutical powder, ±4% on herbal powder. We run your material at factory acceptance testing and give you the actual figures for your formulation — not a number off a brochure.
The manual your operator can actually use An English operating and maintenance manual with the adjustment procedures in it — tamping pin height, dosing disc gaps, vacuum pressure. Ask to see it before you order.
Installation and training on site Our engineers install it, dial it in on your powder, and train your operators before they leave.
Factory-direct engineering You buy from the plant that builds the machine. Custom tooling, feeder configurations and change parts are a conversation with our engineers, not a request passed down a chain.
NJP-200C Automatic Capsule Filling Machine FAQ
Absolutely. The machine is designed with a precision dosing system that works seamlessly with both traditional gelatin and vegetarian (HPMC/Pullulan) capsules without causing brittle fractures.
The NJP-200C operates at a noise level below 75dB, making it suitable for laboratory and quiet cleanroom environments.
No. We’ve designed it for ease of use. A standard operator can perform routine cleaning and lubrication by following our step-by-step video tutorials.
Product-contact parts are 316L stainless steel, supplied with EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates. The machine is CE marked with a Declaration of Conformity, and ships with mechanical and electrical schematics, an English operating manual and a spare parts list. If your quality system needs additional qualification documents, tell us at the quotation stage.
The NJP-200C features a fully enclosed working station and a 360-degree vacuum cleaning module that ensures no residual powder remains between batches.
For standard NJP-200C models, our lead time is 4-6 weeks. Shipping to major U.S. ports (e.g., LA or New York) typically takes an additional 3-4 weeks.
We maintain a dedicated inventory of critical wear parts (seals, tamping pins, springs). We offer express international shipping to minimize any potential downtime.
