Used Capsule Tooling & Change Parts

Capsule tooling and change parts allow capsule fillers and checkweighers to process different capsule sizes and fill volumes. Changing capsule sizes or adjusting fill weights requires swapping size-specific components, including dosing disks, segment plates, sorting magazines, and dosator assemblies. Having the right tooling on hand enables faster changeovers and broader production flexibility.

Federal Equipment Company stocks used capsule filler change parts for machines from Bosch/Syntegon, IMA Zanasi, MG2, Capsugel, and other manufacturers. Our inventory includes complete change part sets, individual dosing disks, segment plates, sorting magazines, tamping pins, and capsule handling accessories for sizes 00 through 5.

Capsule filler tooling includes all the size-specific components required to run a particular capsule format on a given machine. When changing from one capsule size to another, operators must replace components that contact or handle the capsules, including dosing disks that control fill volume, segment plates that hold capsules during filling, and sorting magazines that orient capsules for separation. Complete change part sets include all components needed for a full-size changeover.

Dosing disks are available in various fill depths to accommodate different powder densities and target fill weights within a given capsule size. For example, size 3 dosing disks may be available in fill depths ranging from 10mm to 14.5mm, allowing operators to fine-tune fill volumes without changing capsule size. Keeping multiple dosing disk depths on hand provides flexibility for formulation adjustments.

Federal Equipment Company carries capsule tooling for Bosch/Syntegon (GKF 330, 400, 1500, and KKE 1500, 2000 series), IMA Zanasi (40, 40E, 40F, AZ40, Matic, Adapta), MG2 (Futura, Compact), Capsugel (Ultra 8 II), ACG-Pam, ProFiller, and Vanguard machines. We also stock capsule-handling accessories, including sorters, elevators, and conveyors, from ACG-Pam and Nilfisk.

Why Buy Used Capsule Tooling?

Used capsule tooling offers significant cost savings compared to new OEM parts, which can be expensive and have extended lead times. Pre-owned change parts in good condition provide equivalent functionality at 40-60% lower cost. This allows manufacturers to expand their capsule size capabilities, maintain backup tooling sets, or equip additional production lines economically.

Availability is another advantage. OEM tooling orders may require weeks or months for delivery. Used tooling from Federal Equipment Company can ship immediately, supporting urgent production needs or unexpected equipment requirements.

Federal Equipment Company inspects tooling condition and documents wear status. Many items are OEM parts in good working condition, ready for immediate use.
