Capsule Filling GKF Containment Series

Capsule filling machine – GKF Containment series

GKF capsule filling containment solutions

Containment is all about operator safety. The product area is separated from the personnel area by a barrier system to prevent any negative impacts (contamination). Syntegon provides two different solutions for OSD (Oral Solid Dosage) processing under containment conditions: the ProTect (up to OEB 4) and HiProTect (up to OEB 5) execution. We further offer three different cleaning approaches for closed capsule filling machines, which you can adapt to your specific needs together with our experts.

GKF-60-ProTect
GKF 60 ProTect and HiProTect
The GKF 60, which achieves an output of up to 3,600 capsules per hour is available either in the ProTect execution based on a dedicated R&D laminar flow principle, or in the HiProTect execution with a closed door concept and glove port access. We further offer a combination of the manual dry and wet cleaning principle, or a WIP process with integrated spray nozzles. 
GKF-720-ProTect-HiProTect
GKF 720 ProTect and HiProTect
The GKF 720 ProTect and HiProTect provide all features and benefits of a flexible small batch production machine with outputs of between 3,000 and 43,500 capsules per hour. The capsule filling machines are equipped with an inflatable door seal, dedicated air handling, a filter concept and glove access. Cleaning can be done either with a combination of manual dry and wet cleaning or with a manual WIP process. 
GKF-1700
GKF 1700 HiProTect
The GKF 1700 HiProTect is a true containment machine, providing additional safety thanks to an own pressure zone concept. While achieving an output of up to 100,000 capsules per hour, the machine features a range of automated processes. A programmable washing system stores and recalls cleaning protocols, ensuring a reproducible cleaning result for your individual WIP process. 
GKF-2600-ProTect
GKF 2600 ProTect
The GKF 2600 ProTect is ideal for a flexible product set-up and large batch production of up to 156,000 capsules per hour. It provides a dry containment solution with manual dry containment via integrated suction nozzle and an optional wetting process. It monitors negative pressure inside the production chamber and provides glove port access and an RTP option. 

Our ProTect and HiProTect concepts at a glance

ProTect: Capsule filling machines in the ProTect execution can handle production processes that are classified up to OEB 4. The term „ProTect“ stands for a dry cleaning approach, with optional wetting system to reduce airborne contamination.

HiProTect: This machine series is suited for products requiring a containment classification up to OEB 5. All machines are available with a manual or automated WIP (Washing-In-Place) cleaning process.

Why capsule sealing? 

Capsule sealing with banding technology ensures the highest product quality and prevents liquid-filled capsules from leakage. Banding also provides an additional measure for anti-counterfeiting of capsules filled with powder or other components. Sealing provides an enhanced safety measure to meet regulatory requirements. Our Syntegon GKB 2100 banding machine can handle both hard gelatine and HPMC (plant-based) capsules.

GKB_2100_PRESS_Syn

The Syntegon GKB 2100 banding machine

The new GKB 2100 features a particularly robust and flexible process, combined with the highest yield and maximum process stability. The focus is on user-friendliness, as well as very good accessibility for cleaning and easy format part changeovers. Our banding machine achieves an output of up to 125,000 capsules per hour.
