Over-Encapsulating Caplets into Capsules
PARTS IDENTIFICATION - CAPLET-IN-CAPSULE ATTACHMENT (ORDERED SEPARATELY)
Filling caplets inside capsules can be done
using the custom-made Caplet Fill Attachment
(ACF). The outer capsules are oriented and
separated as usual. The caplets are inserted
into the open capsules, then the outer capsules
are locked. To avoid rattling, the outer capsule
can be filled with excipient before locking.
