Typically designed for high-volume production, capable of filling thousands of capsules per hour (often ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 capsules or more, depending on the model).
Factors Influencing Throughput:
1. Machine Design: The complexity and efficiency of the machine's design directly impact speed and capacity.
2. Filling Mechanism: Advanced filling mechanisms (e.g., vacuum or pressure systems) can enhance speed and accuracy.
3. Automation Level: Higher automation reduces downtime and speeds up the overall process.
4. Material Properties: The flowability and consistency of the filling material can affect how quickly capsules are filled.
5. Maintenance and Downtime: Regular maintenance and fewer breakdowns lead to higher throughput.
Generally have a lower production capacity, often filling hundreds to a few thousand capsules per hour (typically ranging from 1,000 to 20,000 capsules).
Factors Influencing Throughput:
1. Operator Skill: The efficiency and experience of the operator can significantly affect the speed of production.
2. Manual Steps: More manual steps in the filling process lead to slower production rates.
3. Batch Size: Smaller batch sizes may require more setup time per batch, affecting overall throughput.
4. Material Handling: The ease of loading and unloading materials can impact the speed of operation.
5. Machine Configuration: Simpler designs may be easier to operate but may not achieve the same speeds as more complex machines.
Influencing Factors: Factors such as machine design, operator skill, material properties, and maintenance practices play crucial roles in determining the production capacity and efficiency of both types of machines.
