Re: MH how do you fill your capsules?


When we started, we did them 50 at a time, about 1,000 a day and that is a drag and you can't clean them well enough, because the powder needs to be removed so it doesn't touch your throat on the way down, etc...

An automatic encapsulator can cost way over $150,000.00+ and you need basically a sterile room and naturally the FDA wants access to that machine and see that your testing for mold/bacteria and each batch recorded for all time to come... There are small batch machines that claim you can run 100,000 capsules in an 8 hour shift. they don't look that easy to me. As long as we can have a professional person do it for us, we will, if the fda starts demanding the capsules be radiated, then we will just sell the powder formulas or seek the small private machines....the amish offered to do the labor if we should ever have to go that route.

For now we have a small private owner that does it professionally on the west coast, so we ship the powders to him and he sends them back via semi a few times per year; we make about 1 million+ capsules yearly, mostly LBB double 00 and always vege caps.

If we had to stop doing the capsules, it would be no big deal for us, the $$$ is in the encapsulating process and we do it more as a favor for our customers. The man that does the encapsulating and all the shipping eats all the profits. For us to grow and properly dry and test the herbs, then have a professional powder maker and test again and then put into the encapsulator and test again and then test the capsules just prior to putting into the bottles and keep all those records and as well hire a person to do all the testing, would be impossible for us....such an operation would have to do billions of capsules yearly to even begin to make a profit...this is why most all bottles sold commercially are 100 count single 0 and full of paper and magnesium; so they can sell them cheap in the very competitive market of cheap capsules.
