Capsule bodies not level with body sheet set after separation
It is normal for the top of the capsule bodies to sit unevenly in the filler after separation from the caps.
Capsules have slight variation in diameter and height, which allows some to fall through to the bottom plate
while others are held by the body sheets. No capsules should sit higher than the top sheet. If they do, use your
hand to pat them into place before pouring powder. After spreading powder and doing your first tapping,
vibration, or tamping of the powder, the capsule bodies will settle properly into place and sit 0.5 to 1 mm lower
than the top surface of the body sheet set.
Capsules are difficult to lock
Depending on the powder, up to 1 kg of force is required to fully lock one capsule. For 120 hole machines, the force
required to lock all 120 capsules simultaneously could be as much as 100 kg. If, due to operator strength or powder
properties, enough force cannot be achieved, use of the capsule locker will ensure fully locked capsules.
Capsules are too soft or too brittle
Capsule storage and filling should be from 15 to 25 °C (59 to 72 °F) with relative humidity from 35 to 65%.
