Easy to Clean

The PharmaCap from LFA is built entirely from 304 stainless steel making it easy to clean. As it is small, it can be cleaned in under 20 minutes. All of the contact parts are removable and are dishwasher safe. This means that you reduce turn around times between products and reduce the workload at the end of the day.

Fast

The PharmaCap desktop capsule filler is one of the fastest small capsule fillers on the market. You are easily able to produce 300 capsules every 3 minutes or 6000 per hour. This makes it versatile and affordable. If you are trying to test a number of products on Amazon or produce customized batches in your Compounding Pharmacy, then this is the ideal solution.

Not only is it fast at producing capsules, but it is able to quickly change between the different capsule sizes. There are 3 base models of the PharmaCap capsule filler. The PharmaCap - L, the PharmaCap - M and the PharmaCap - S.

Models

PharmaCap - L

The PharmaCap - L is the largest of the PharmaCap range. It is able to create capsules that are sizes 00, 0, 1 and 2. This is by far the most popular model in the PharmaCap range. Size 00 and 0 capsules are the standard sized empty capsules that are used in the supplements and pharmaceutical industries. For more information on capsule sizes take a look at our size chart here.
