Processing problems in capsule manufacturing

Hello friends...
Answer
Fast, efficient capsule filling is the goal of every manufacturer, as minimizing waste can save thousands of dollars every year. Dietary supplement manufacturers have a wealth of knowledge and experience in capsule filling. As pressure for "just in time" manufacturing and improved yields increases, manufacturers are looking for even more ways to keep their encapsulating practices as efficient and trouble-free as possible.
Often when there are encapsulation problems, the cause is attributed to inconsistencies in the capsules being used. Certainly, the quality, consistency, storage, and running conditions of your capsules are important, but there are other elements in the process that also need to be considered. The condition of the capsule-filling machines and their ability to achieve required weights, along with operator training and experience, play key roles in achieving maximum yields and operator safety.
Manufacturers of dietary supplements face unique challenges because of the nature of their products. They often use multiple ingredients with different textures, which can complicate filling. Natural ingredients may show inconsistencies from lot to lot, which may mean that encapsulating parameters must be adjusted. The materials may also have varying flow properties, compressibility, and lubricity, and some ingredients may be abrasive, which requires that the tooling be inspected frequently and well maintained.
Hope it helps you..

Answer:
The problems associated with manufacturing capsules are:
1. Capsule does not entry the magazine slots. Any damaged capsule further prevents the entry of other capsules.
2. Remnants of plastic waste, formulation or any other foreign particle in the machine hampers the production of further capsules.
3. Slowing down of machine due to certain reasons.
4. Presence of any abrasive ingredients can cause a problem.
5. Presence of multiple ingredients in a single capsule can lead to many complications. Also, inconsistency of any natural elements can be a problem.
