Why We Didn't Include 200–400 Hole Machines

Models with 200 or 400 holes are designed for small businesses that need high-volume production. They are fast but less friendly for home use, require more powder, and are harder to operate.
For families, individuals, herbalists, or small wellness practitioners, smaller machines (10–100 holes) are more efficient, easier to clean, and much more affordable.

How DIY Capsule Filling Has Improved Over the Last Decade

Ten years ago, filling capsules meant inserting them one by one—painfully slow and tiring. Making several dozen capsules could take hours.

Today, with modern capsule fillers, you can fill 10 to 100 capsules at a time, completing dozens or even hundreds in just 10 minutes. The process is faster, simpler, cleaner, and ideal for anyone who wants to make personalized herbal or nutritional supplements at home.

Popular Powders People Commonly Fill Into Capsules

Many users prefer making capsules with:

• Herbal powders
• Kratom
• Vitamins & minerals
• Tian Qi (Notoginseng)
• Bear bile powder
• Cordyceps
• Hemp leaf powder
• Amino acids
• Wheatgrass
• Functional health powders

Before making medicinal capsules, always confirm dosage, ingredients, and frequency with your doctor.

What Does a Capsule Filling Machine Include?

Understanding the structure makes the machine easier to use. Below are the three most common capsule filler types and their components.

1. ABS Capsule Filling Machine (100-Hole + 24-Hole)

100-Hole Capsule Filling Machine — Components (Top to Bottom)

Cap Plate

Holds the capsule caps (the shorter half).

Middle Plate

Helps secure filled capsules and makes removal easier.

Tamper Plate

Used to compress powder so capsules can hold more. Usually repeated 2–3 times depending on the powder amount you want.

Scraper (Spreader)

Distributes powder evenly and helps it enter the capsule bodies efficiently.

Overflow Guard

Prevents powder from spilling off the edges so you can reuse excess powder and keep your workspace clean.

Body Plate

Holds the capsule bodies (the longer half).

Alignment Plate

Helps load many capsule caps/bodies into the holes quickly, saving time and effort.

24-Hole Capsule Filling Machine

This version has only 5 components:

• Tamper plate
• Scraper
• Cap plate
• Body plate
• Base plate

The main difference is that the capsules must be inserted manually one by one. This is more accurate but slower.

2. MABS Capsule Filling Trays (25-Hole + 14-Hole)

25-Hole Capsule Filling Tray — Components

• Base Plate (for holding capsule bodies)
• Powder Filling Plate (can fill individually or all at once)
• Tamper/Lock Plate (Dual-Function)
  • Tamps the powder
  • Rotates 90° to become a lock plate to prevent powder leakage
• Scoop for Measuring Dosage
• Scraper for spreading powder evenly

14-Hole Capsule Filling Tray — Components

Only 3 parts:

• Base plate
• Powder filling plate
• Measuring scoop

This model is ideal for smaller capsule sizes (1–5). Because of the precision required, its production cost is often 1–2× higher than the 25-hole tray—even though the function is similar.

3. Acrylic Capsule Filling Tray (60-Hole)

60-Hole Capsule Filling Tray — Components

• Body Plate: Holds up to 60 capsule bodies
• Funnel: Makes powder filling easier and cleaner

Important Tips When Making Capsules at Home

1. Wear gloves and a mask, and clean/dry your capsule filler before use.
2. Work on a clean, flat surface. Some powder spillage is normal.
3. Use a comfortable chair—filling while standing can hurt your back.
4. Prepare airtight jars or containers (preferably BPA-free) for storage.
5. Store capsules in a cool, dry, dark place. Adding a small desiccant helps keep them dry.
