![]() ![]() Inspect several capsules by gently pressing on the ends to make sure they’re fully connected.Push out the finished capsules into a clean container.All your finished capsules will be suspended in the Middle Plate.Remove the Cap Plate and inspect it to ensure that all the caps connected to the capsule bodies. ![]() Repeat step 14 several times to ensure all the capsules are fully pressed together (you want to be sure to connect them all because you don’t want to have to go back later to press the capsules together individually).Firmly and evenly press down on the Cap Plate to join the plates and capsules together.Place the Middle Plate with the Cap Plate on top of the Body Plate and align the four screws at the corners.Connect the Middle Plate (with the grooves facing up) above the Cap Plate and be sure that the holes are aligned perfectly.Make sure all your capsule caps are in the right direction.Prepare your Cap Plate with the Alignment Plate and load your capsule caps.Carefully dump the excess powder out of the corner of the Spill Guard into a clean separate container (I like to keep my excess powder separate from the original bag of powder).Repeat steps 5-7 until your capsule bodies are fully packed.Press down firmly to pack the powder into the capsule bodies.Grab your Tamper Plate and align it with the capsule bodies.Use the spatula to evenly disperse your powder into each of the pill bodies.Use a clean metal spoon to load the powder above the capsule bodies.After you load the capsule bodies and make sure they’re all in the correct direction, connect the Spill Guard and prepare your powder.Use the Alignment Plate to load the capsule bodies.Take apart 100 capsules and put the caps and capsule bodies into two separate bowls.The video below shows you exactly how to fill the capsules and explains how each part of the machine works: How to Make Capsules with a Capsule Filling Machine Next, let’s go over how to use the machine. The Spill Guard is the white piece of plastic in the photo below: When you’re done loading your capsules, the Spill Guard also makes it easier to dump out the excess powder without making a mess. Spill Guard (see photo below) – The Spill Guard goes around the edges of the Body Plate when you load your capsules to prevent the powder from spilling over the edges of the plate.You’ll use it after you dump the powder above the capsule bodies to evenly disperse your powder into the capsule bodies. Spatula (Powder Spreader) – The Spatula makes it easier to load the powder into your capsules.You’ll notice that lighter/fluffier powders require more tamper runs than heavier/denser powders. I typically use the tamper 2 to 3 times to make sure my caps get fully packed. Tamper (Powder Pressing Plate) – The Tamper Plate packs the powder down into the capsules once you load your powder into the capsule bodies.Once you press the capsules together, the Middle Plate holds the finished capsules to make it easier to lift them out of the machine all at once. Middle Plate – The Middle Plate comes into play when you press the capsules together.Cap Plate – The Cap Plate holds the shorter side of the capsule aka “The Cap”.Body Plate – The Body Plate holds the longer side of the capsule aka “The Body”.The video in the next section shows you exactly how this process works. Alignment Plate – The Alignment Plate allows you to quickly load the capsule bodies and capsule caps into the slots of the plates without having to load them one by one.In this section, I’ll describe each part of the machine. Let’s take a look at the anatomy of a capsule maker to give you a better idea of how they work. #10) AromaTools Magnetic Plastic Capsule HolderĪs you can see, the capsule fillers are made of mostly the same parts, except for the “The Capsule Machine” which makes smaller batches of 24 instead of 100. ![]()
