About the AFT LAB

Creating capsule formulations with different capsule sizes and fill combinations with AFT LAB affords greater flexibility, and ensures pharmaceutical products are ready for technology transfer. A fully automatic R&D-scale capsule filling machine with a small footprint, AFT LAB is the preferred option for laboratories, while its versatile tamping mechanism for powder filling – and its intuitive interface – ensure a smooth scale-up.

Applications

Fills pellets, tablets, micro-tablets, capsules, soft gels, and their combinations in capsules

Features

Benefits

Allows filling up to four sizes of capsule with a single format part Saves time and effort while allowing simple scale-up of the development process, without any modification in formulations
Can be upgraded to produce up to 25,000 capsules per hour with an easy kit replacement Scale from R&D to pilot batches on the same machine
Capable of filling powders, pellets, tablets, micro-tablets, capsules, soft gels, and their combinations Diverse filling options widen the scope for experimentation

About the AF 25T

For pilot-scale batches, you want a machine that’s not only small and versatile, but also gives you capsules of dependably accurate fill weight. ACG’s AF 25T is that very machine. Compact and fully automatic, it’s perfect for small batches, and offers multiple capsule filling options for excellent quality output.

Applications

Fills pellets, tablets, micro-tablets, capsules, soft gels, and their combinations in capsules

Features

Benefits

Precise slug-dosing principle Provides a better yield of high-quality capsules within optimal weight variation limits, while reducing powder wastage
Partial filling capability (up to 25 mg) for capsule sizes 000 to 5 Allows filling of capsule-based dry powder inhalation (cDPI) formulations with minimum excipients, as well as filling of low-dose API with or without excipients
Swift and simple capsule size and product changeover Minimal downtime means enhanced productivity
Capable of filling powders, pellets, tablets, micro-tablets, capsules, soft gels, and their combinations Diverse filling options allow you to work on a wide range of capsule products
