A device categorized as a “size 3” typically handles the filling of capsules designated as “size 3,” a standard measurement within the pharmaceutical and supplement industries. These machines automate the process of filling empty capsules with powders, granules, or liquids, ensuring consistent dosing and efficient production. This specific categorization indicates the machine’s compatibility with a particular capsule size, influencing its operational parameters and output capacity.
Automated encapsulation equipment offers significant advantages over manual filling, including increased production speed, improved accuracy, and reduced labor costs. The ability to precisely control the fill weight within each capsule contributes to product quality and regulatory compliance. Historically, capsule filling has evolved from tedious manual processes to sophisticated machinery, with standardized sizing playing a crucial role in streamlining production and ensuring interchangeability of components.
