Capsule Filling Machine, 400 Holes

These numbers tell you how much powder or oil your capsules can hold. The larger the number, the smaller the capsule size: Size 000 is the largest capsule size and size 5 is the smallest.

Because each powder has a different density, the amount of powder that can fit in each capsule goes by the powder’s weight. This chart estimates how much powder (in weight) you can fit in each capsule size.

For comparison, at most the largest capsule size, 000, can hold ~1/2 teaspoon of powder or oil. Every capsule size decreases from there. However, one of our Blate Papes can hold much more than the largest capsule, if needed!

Blate Papes are thin gel films made of only potato starch and water. Similar to a capsule, they allow you to swallow powdered herbs and supplements without tasting anything.

The difference is in capacity, ease of use, and ease of swallowing. Blate Papes allow you to take and swallow multiple grams of powder at once, while capsules can only hold at most 1 gram of powder. How? When dipped in water, Blate Papes soak into a gel around your powder. This makes the powder soft and delicate, which allows you to easily swallow it at once without tasting anything. It breaks apart instantly in your stomach, so anything you take will kick in about 15-20 minutes faster than with capsules. We include Blate Papes Gel Film Pouches with every order so customers who make their own supplements can see for themselves whether or not they may find them useful for the substances they take.

Blate Papes aren’t meant to replace capsules, but rather they both work better for certain powders or scenarios. It all depends on the needs of the user. For example, kratom users tend to find Blate Papes to be extremely useful, as they have to take 2+ grams at a time, they want it to kick in sooner, and it really tastes bad without them!

Size 00 is the most common capsule size ordered, followed by size 0. You can fit between 1/2 to 3/4ths a gram of powder into one size 00 capsule, and up to a half gram into a size 0.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to mix different capsule sizes with machine sizes. A size 00 machine can only be used to fill size 00 capsules, size 0 to fill size 0, 000 to 000 and so forth.

This is because nearly every plate on each machine is customized to the diameter of a single capsule size. Changing all these plates would cost the same as buying a second machine, yet it would also mean having to constantly remove and readjust them, making it too difficult and impractical.

However, there are machines like this that exist at the professional level. For example, our 300-hole Professional-Operation Series capsule filling system allows for the removal and changeover of capsule sizes with optional size-change plates.
