Modu-C LS
Precision at low speed: The reliable capsule filling machine for labs and small batches
Description
Modu-C LS was designed for testing new active ingredients, for test runs and for small batch and pilot series production. The patented trolley system allows a rapid change of the dosing systems. The machine is impressive in that it processes material efficiently, even for minimum residual product quantities. It doses powder starting at a fill volume of less than 1 mg. It is also available as the Modu-C LS IPK variant with integrated 100% gross/net weighing unit.
Benefits
- Flexibly expandable with the patented dosing trolley system
- PRP function (person reduced production)
- Calibration bar to detect deformed capsules, exhaust function of deformed capsules, differential pressure measurement to inspect the presence of capsule bottoms, capsule closure inspection and single elimination of bad capsules.
- Minimum setup time
- Easy operation and cleaning
- Minimum product loss with no-cap-no-fill function
- Supported by Pharma Service

Modu-C LS – Compact capsule filling machine suitable for pharmaceutical applications
Modu-C LS is a machine for the flexible production of capsule products in a compact design suitable for pharmaceutical applications.
-
Modu-C LS – easy changing of the dosing method with exchangeable trolleys
The effort required to change the dosing method is limited on the Modu-C to switching out a trolley. Especially when testing new active ingredients, during test runs or in the production of small batches and pilot series, the ability to quickly change to a suitable dosing system is of great benefit.

Modu-C LS – Dosing trolley for liquid filling
Replaceable trolley with dosing process for liquid filling.
-
Modu-C LS – dosing process with format-free tablet dosing via vacuum suction wheel
Example: format-free tablet dosing. The tablets are drawn in with a vacuum suction wheel and positioned and delivered to the capsule bottom.
-
Modu-C LS – Round motion machine with capsule mounting point at the filling station
Patented solution: During each cycle, the Modu-C moves three capsule segments around the round motion unit. Sensors detect whether the capsule top and bottom are present and skip the dosing processes for the relevant cycle if a capsule is missing.

Machine features
Trolley concept
The patented dosing trolley system allows the operator to quickly change the dosing method: Whether powder, pellets, tablets, mini-tablets or liquid – the next dosing process is already set up. Short setup times, fast cleaning, maximum productivity. Plug-and-play options for the process change.
Capacitive weight inspection
Fastest process analytics through mass acquisition: The mass-specific AMV sensor allows for 100% inspection during the dosing of powders and pellets. The PAT method is independent of the target vessel.
Combination filling
Various dosing systems allow combination fillings with up to three products such as powders, pellets, tablets, mini-tablets, powder blends, active ingredients or liquids. It is even possible to fill capsules into capsules.
Peripheral network
Standard interfaces (MES, ActiveDirectory, OPC, …) allow the customer-specific peripherals to communicated with the IT network of the Harro Höfliger systems.
