NJP-5500C Automatic Capsule Filling Machine — 330,000 Capsules/Hour
The NJP-5500C fills 330,000 capsules an hour. At this rate the constraint usually stops being the filler and becomes what feeds it and what takes capsules away — talk to us about the whole line, not just this machine.
1.Output: 330,000 capsules an hour
2.Dual 100DS Drive System: Enhanced high-precision cam dividing boxes for massive torque and zero-vibration at ultra-speeds.
3.Capsule-feeding success rate: 99.9% on empty capsules, 99.8% on filled. Unopened capsules are rejected automatically before they reach the dosing station.
4.Line integration: Ethernet/IP and Profinet connectivity for MES or SCADA. Tell us your protocol at the quotation stage.
Is the NJP-5500C the right filler for you?
✓ This is a fit if…
- You need around 330,000 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 330,000 an hour → the NJP-7500C runs 450,000 for a modest step up
- This is your only machine and you plan to scale within a year → buying the 7500C now costs less than buying the 5500C 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
Output: 330,000 capsules an hour as a sustained rate, not a peak figure. We quote the speed you can hold through a shift.

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
Eliminates material “bridging” using vibration-assisted feeding. Essential for maintaining consistent flow at 5,500 capsules per minute.
100DS indexing box
Featuring a 30mm diameter output shaft. This upgraded driving core provides the heavy-duty stability needed for the most intensive production cycles.
One-piece enclosed turntable
A gapless, CNC-machined frame with dustproof skeleton seals. Maintenance-free for 1 years, even in the most demanding industrial environments.
Guideway-driven capsule seeder
An enclosed, precision-guided system that ensures perfectly aligned capsule orientation even at the 5500C’s extreme velocity.
How Much API Are You Losing per Batch?
A sophisticated negative-pressure system recycles stray powder, delivering cost savings for high-volume runs.
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.
Running at 330,000/h Without Losing Fill Accuracy
Unlike smaller models, the NJP-5500C 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-5500C Ultra-Industrial FAQ
Thanks to our patented powder recovery device. Any powder from abnormal capsules is instantly vacuumed and collected in a clean loop, preventing platform contamination and ensuring that every gram of high-value API is utilized.
Yes. The butterfly valve hopper with vibration unit is specifically engineered for powders with poor liquidity. It forces consistent material flow, ensuring that even at 5,500 pcs/min, each capsule meets the strict ±3% weight precision requirement.
For standard NJP-5500C 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.
