Bosch Packaging Technology has launched the new capsule filling machine GKF 2600. This high-performance machine doses powders, pellets, tablets, and liquids, as well as combinations at an output of up to 2,600 cpm.

The machine is equipped with new filling technologies for different products, an optimized drive concept, enhanced sensor technology for process control, as well as a demand-oriented containment concept. Due to its extended machine platform and accessibility, the capsule filling machine can be adapted to fill different products in a short time. Add-on modules can also be integrated quickly and easily.

The machine features an automatic anti-troubleshooting (ASB) function and user-friendly handling with improved accessibility of the filling stations. The optimized containment with more tightly sealed doors further ensures that the highest hygiene standards are maintained during production.

Apart from the standard functions, numerous options are available, such as the new capsule checkweigher KKE 2600 with enhanced product control. Additionally, the GKF 2600 can be upgraded with a feedback loop, which automatically regulates overfilling and underfilling of capsules via tendency control of the KKE. An inspection unit can be integrated into the capsule filling machine. It conducts weight and quality inspections with X-ray technology and an X-ray sensor.

The micro-dosing wheel of the GKF 2600 processes products in a filling range of 2 to 30 mg. Depending on customer requirements and product characteristics, the capsule filling machine can be upgraded for different containment requirements.
