Manual encapsulators designed for small-batch production typically utilize a plate holding size “1” capsules. These compact devices assist in aligning and filling capsule halves with powders, pellets, or liquids. A common example includes hand-operated models often used by small businesses, pharmacies, or research labs for creating custom formulations or small production runs.
The capacity and compact nature of these devices make them ideal for low-volume needs. They provide a cost-effective solution for those who require precise dosage control without the need for large-scale industrial equipment. Historically, these manual encapsulators have played a vital role in pharmaceutical compounding and custom capsule creation, allowing for personalized medicine and tailored formulations.
