The highest output with two dosing stations
The GKF Capsylon 6005 is based on proven technology and features numerous innovations at the same time. With 360,000 capsules filled per hour, the output has more than doubled compared to the GKF Capsylon 3005 (175,000 capsules/hour). The high-speed capsule filling machine has 48 instead of 21 segment bores in four instead of two rows. “The GKF Capsylon 6005 also features two dosing stations operating in parallel,” Andreas Nuessle adds. “This allows us to fill a larger number of capsule segments evenly without losing any time.”
Syntegon's patented slide-gate, which is used in the GKF Capsylon series by default, provides additional support. The slide-gate’s precise movements reliably cover the segment bores from below during filling. This results in a higher product yield and lower dust impact with overall higher filling accuracy. At the same time, the slide-gate technology offers manufacturers more flexibility by allowing the GKF Capsylon 6005 to process pellets or granules on the same dosing station.
Flexible format part changeover without readjustment
A further optimization of the GKF Capsylon 6005 relates to format part changeover: the click system developed by Syntegon ensures significantly faster changeovers. No manual readjustment of the format parts is needed – the ideal prerequisite for processing a wide range of different products on the same machine in a time-saving manner. Operators can learn the use of the intuitive system with minimal effort.
Professional service worldwide
From October 23 to 27, 2023, visitors of SupplySide West in Las Vegas can experience the GKF Capsylon’s flexibility and efficiency live at booth 4227. Together with Syntegon's high-shear granulators, fluid bed systems and capsule checkweighers, the new capsule filling machine can be combined to form a complete production unit.
Syntegon also supports its customers with a comprehensive service portfolio. They have access to a global network of service experts who provide support in case of technical questions, perform maintenance work, and provide training for machine operators. In addition, original Syntegon spare and format parts always ensure optimum machine functions and smooth production. This minimizes production risks and allows manufacturers to concentrate on their core business.
