Index I-300 Manual Capsule Filling Machine
The Index I-300 is a manual capsule filling machine built for precise, small to mid-size production runs. It can fill up to 3,600 capsules per hour and is compatible with a wide range of capsule sizes. The I-300 is well suited for R and D, compounding pharmacies, nutraceutical manufacturers, and other solid dose applications that need consistency without full automation.
Designed with ease of use in mind, the I-300 includes a capsule orienting system that eliminates the need to place capsules by hand. Capsules are automatically aligned body-down for smooth separation, filling, and reassembly. Constructed from stainless steel and food grade materials, the machine is easy to clean, simple to maintain, and built to support reliable encapsulation day after day.

Description
Manual capsule filling often means slow output, inconsistent weights, and operators spending too much time fixing errors. When capsules are not oriented correctly or fills vary from batch to batch, production slows and material is wasted. The Index I-300 is built to reduce those issues while keeping full manual control.
The I-300 uses a guided capsule orienting system that automatically positions capsules body-down, so separation and filling happen cleanly and repeatably. Powder is distributed and tamped in controlled steps, giving operators better control over fill weight without rushing the process. With output up to 3,600 capsules per hour, the I-300 supports efficient production for small to mid-size runs.
The Index I-300 helps manufacturers:
-
Reduce capsule misalignment and rework
-
Achieve more consistent fill weights
-
Increase output without moving to automation
-
Minimize powder waste during filling
-
Simplify cleaning and product changeovers
Built from stainless steel and food grade materials, the I-300 is designed for daily use. Components are easy to remove, clean, and reassemble, which helps reduce downtime between batches. The result is a manual capsule filling machine that delivers consistent results and predictable performance.

I-300 Manual Capsule Filler FAQs
Is the Index I-300 suitable for regulated environments?
Yes. The machine is constructed from stainless steel and food grade materials, making it suitable for nutraceutical, compounding pharmacy, and other controlled manufacturing settings.
How difficult is the I-300 to operate?
The I-300 is designed to be straightforward to use. Its guided orientation and manual controls reduce setup errors and shorten training time for new operators.
How long does it take to clean between batches?
Cleaning is quick due to removable assemblies and smooth metal surfaces. This helps reduce downtime during product changeovers and minimizes cross-contamination risk.
Does the I-300 require electricity or compressed air?
No. The I-300 is fully manual and does not require electrical power or compressed air to operate.
What production volumes is the I-300 best suited for?
The I-300 is ideal for R and D, pilot batches, compounding pharmacies, and small to mid-size production runs where control and flexibility are important.
Can fill weight be adjusted?
Yes. Fill weight is controlled through powder distribution and multi-step tamping, allowing operators to fine-tune capsule fills as needed.
