How The Capsule Machine Works

1. Separate empty capsules into halves (or buy pre-Separated capsules to skip this step).
2. Load the longer body halves into the base of the machine.
3. Load the shorter cap halves into the top tray.
4. Pour your powdered herb over the bodies in the base and use the included tamper to compress.
5. Squeeze the machine to close - the tops push down onto the bodies, producing 24 finished capsules.

What Size Capsules Match?

The Capsule Machine "00" works only with size 00 capsules. We carry empty gelatin capsules (standard or pre-Separated) and empty vegetable capsules in size 00. Do not attempt to use size 0 capsules with this machine; sizes do not interchange.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does each batch take?
3-5 minutes once you have the workflow. Beginners may take longer initially.

Do I need pre-Separated capsules?
Pre-Separated capsules save time if you encapsulate frequently. Standard joined capsules work but require manual separation.

Can The Capsule Machine fill vegetable capsules?
Yes; size 00 vegetable capsules work the same as gelatin in the machine.

How do I clean it?
Wipe with a dry cloth or rinse with water and air-dry. Some users use compressed air to remove powder residue.

How many capsules can I fill in an hour?
Roughly 200-300 with The Capsule Machine, depending on workflow.

Can I use this for other size capsules?
No; this machine is specifically sized for "00" capsules. For size 0, you need The Capsule Machine "0".
