Capsule Banding Machine
SINDA is a professional manufacturer specializing in the CBM series capsule banding machines. These machines are self-innovated, designed to meet the specific needs of pharmaceutical factories, and hold multiple technical patents. The CBM series capsule banding machine makes the gel on the joint of the body and cap of the capsule, it can provide a safe and reliable seal for the capsule. This ensures that the medicine inside the capsule remain sealed and tamper-proof. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, especially for liquid-filled capsules and capsules containing sensitive materials.
Capsule Banding Technology
Capsule banding involves applying one or more layers of coating film to the capsule casing after it has been filled with medicine, creating a sealed strip-shaped film layer. This technology, studied internationally for decades, is highly valued worldwide. The United States Pharmacopoeia (USP31-NF26) even recommends sealing all hard capsule preparations.
Benefits of Capsule Banding
Medicine Stability: Sealing capsules helps reduce air and moisture exchange, protecting volatile, easily oxidized, and hygroscopic medicine from degradation caused by temperature and oxygen exposure.
Anti-Counterfeiting: Sealed capsules are harder to counterfeit, enhancing medication safety.
Working Principle of the Capsule Banding Machine
Capsules are automatically and neatly placed on the capsule conveying chain through a vibrating hopper and a capsule conveying system. The joint of the capsules are coated with sealant (usually gelatin or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) . And then sealed capsules are dried on the conveying chain to ensure that the sealing band is cured without cracking. Then exit through the capsule exit station.

Advantages of the CBM Series Capsule Banding Machine
The precise chain-plate mechanism extends conveying distance, allowing low-temperature drying in a fully enclosed oven without affecting drug shape.
CBM series can be compatible with automatic capsule filling machines and it is also suitable for stand-alone production.
The patented banding technology ensures that the sealing glue is evenly and beautifully applied on the capsule.
High-sensitivity sensors provide accurate, real-time temperature control of the banding box, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
The banding box are easily disassembled for cleaning.
Accurate Feeding system ensures precise feeding, orientation, and arrangement without damaging capsules.
CBM Series Capsule Banding Machines are made of stainless steel, meeting GMP standards.
How to Choose the CBM Series Capsule Banding Machine
Production Environment: Requires a temperature of about 25°C and humidity of 45%-75%.
Capsule Type: Inform SINDA of the capsule type. The CBM series capsule banding machine can only band one capsule specification at a time.
Production Volume: Specify the required production volume. Models include CBM-500A (button control, 500 capsules/min), CBM-600C, CBM-800C, and CBM-1000C (touch screen control).
Mains Voltage: Provide the mains voltage of your production workshop. SINDA will equip the machine with appropriate electrical components.
Why Banding the Capsules?
Stability: Sealing prevents air ingress, improving drug stability and preventing volatilization.
Leak Prevention: Prevents liquid leakage from hard capsules, maintaining product quality.
Anti-Counterfeiting: Makes it more difficult to counterfeit medications.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Gluing Device: Clean with a mercerized towel and hot water, followed by purified water, and finally disinfect with ethanol.
Internal Cleaning: Wipe with a clean, mercerized towel dipped in 75% ethanol until no product residue remains, then dry with a clean, dry towel.
Material Hopper: Clean every time the material is changed or every five to seven shifts for materials with good fluidity. Always clean after long periods of inactivity (over 2 days).
