Need to quickly fill 500 mg, 2-piece gelatin capsules? The Capsule Machine fills 24 capsules at a time with the powdered herbs and vitamins of your choice.
Begin by removing all the capsule machine items from the box, including the stand, base, cover, plastic card, and tamping tool. Put the base, or large part of The Capsule Machine, onto the stand and then place it on a flat bowl or plate. Next, manually separate the empty gelatin capsules, pushing the longer part open-end up into the base and the shorter part into the cover.
You are now ready to fill the capsules. Pour approximately 1 tablespoon of powdered herbs or vitamins into the base and sweep the plastic card across the holes, filling them.
If desired, use the provided tamping tool to compact the powder, then fill the base again. Place the cover on the base and remove The Capsule Machine from the stand. Put The Capsule Machine on a flat surface and press down evenly until it is fully closed, then release pressure. Remove the cover to reveal the filled capsules. To release them, gently depress the top cover on both sides. We highly recommend storing your capsules in a dark glass jar.
The Capsule Machine is a quick and easy way to fill size “00”, 500 mg capsules. Be sure to check out the hundreds of other herbs, spices, teas, and herbal supplies available from the Monterey Bay Herb Company’s online store at herbco.com.
