Abstract

Acquiring cheap and affordable alternative medicines have been the continuing struggle of the Filipinos. By introducing a low cost, efficient herbal capsule filling machine, comparatively more affordable to the imported machines gives more opportunity not only to entrepreneurs but Filipino consumers as well. The project is divided into three processes: Orienting, Filling, and Encapsulating. The orienting and decapsulating process prepares the capsule for separation of the cap and body of the empty hard gelatin capsule. While the filling brings the dosing powder into the cavity of the capsule and lastly encapsulating it back through joining the cap and the body of the capsule. The automated herbal capsule filling machine is assured to work hand - in - hand with the commercial imported capsule filling machines.
