Common Materials Used in Capsule Trays
Our manual capsule fillers are made from three types of high-quality materials:
- MABS (Methyl Methacrylate Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
- Acrylic (PMMA)
- ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
Each material has its own properties, but all of them meet strict food safety standards, making them reliable choices for supplement makers at home and in small businesses.
Why MABS Is the Best Choice for Capsule Filling Trays
- Excellent Transparency – MABS is crystal-clear, making it easier to monitor capsule alignment and powder filling during operation.
- Superior Strength and Impact Resistance – It combines the toughness of ABS with the clarity of acrylic, ensuring long-term durability.
- Food-Safe Certification – Our MABS capsule trays are certified under national food-contact safety standards, backed by third-party testing reports.
- Smooth, Non-Porous Surface – Prevents powder residue buildup and makes cleaning simple, which is crucial for maintaining hygiene.

Acrylic Capsule Trays: FDA Tested

When choosing capsule trays, material safety should always be a key factor. By using certified, food-safe materials like MABS and acrylic, we ensure that every capsule you make is safe, reliable, and high-quality.
Conclusion
Capsule trays are more than just tools—they are the foundation of safe supplement production. With MABS for premium durability and clarity, acrylic for FDA-certified food safety, and ABS for affordable reliability, our manual capsule filling machines are designed to give you peace of mind.
