Capsuline presents: The Tamping Simulator for Capsule Filling

Perfect slugs from the very first run.

Getting consistent, high-quality capsules starts with one critical step: forming the perfect slug.

On automatic tamping-style capsule filling machines, even small setting errors can lead to wasted material, long setup times, inconsistent weights, and even rework.

Inexperienced operators often spend excessive time and valuable material adjusting dosing parameters, or worse, move into production with loose slugs that cause weight variation and capsule joining defects.

With The Tamping Simulator, you don’t have to guess.

Built to replicate real production conditions

The Tamping Simulator works with your actual formulation and mirrors the key mechanical components of your filling machine, including:

  • Tamping pin
  • Compression spring system
  • Capsule Cap interface
  • 0–25 mm compression scale

This ensures realistic testing conditions and reliable results during development and operation.

The Tamping Simulator

Built for professionals. Powered by precision.

The Tamping Tool is designed for manufacturers who demand:

●      Accurate dosing simulation

●      Consistent slug formation

●      Greater process control

●      Confident scale-up to production

Whether you're in R&D or full manufacturing, this tool helps you make smarter, faster decisions.

General questions

The Tamping Simulator is used to develop and improve slug formation during capsule filling. It allows manufacturers to test dosing and compression parameters before full-scale production, helping ensure consistent weights and reliable capsule joining.

Yes. The device works with your actual formulation, allowing you to evaluate how different powders behave under real tamping and compression conditions before moving into production.

Absolutely. The Tamping Simulator is designed for both R&D and full manufacturing environments, supporting formulation development, process optimization, and confident scale-up to production.

By allowing operators to predefine dosing and compression settings, the tamping tool reduces trial-and-error during machine setup, minimizing material waste and shortening set-up times.

Yes. Replicating real tamping conditions helps identify optimal parameters for consistent slug formation, leading to improved weight uniformity and fewer capsule joining defects during production.
