- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 60 to 120 capsules per minute, depending on capsule size and product characteristics.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption based on configuration.
- Footprint
- Compact linear filling machines often have a relatively small footprint, typically in the range of 2 to 4 metres in length.
- Filling accuracy
- Servo auger fillers commonly provide high filling accuracy, typically within +/- 0.1 to 0.5 grams, crucial for consistent product quality.
- Material compatibility
- Designed for various capsule materials, including plastic and compostable types, and compatible with roll-fed sealing films.
- Control system
- Modern machines commonly feature PLC control (e.g., Omron) with a touchscreen HMI for operation and diagnostics.
- Safety standards
- Equipment for the European market is typically designed to comply with CE Directives, incorporating safety guards and emergency stops.
