Adjustment of vacuum separator of capsule filling machine

Adjustment of vacuum separator of capsule filling machine

Whenever the machine runs by a station, vacuum separator goes upwards and downwards once. The position of vacuum separator is well regulated at factory’s delivery; no adjustment is needed in most common case. Should any adjustment is needed, rotate arbor wheel of main motor with hand crank until the vacuum separator reaches the highest position, loosen fastening nuts (left and right thread) on both sides of regulating rod under machine bench, rotate regulating rod to adjust vacuum separator height (clearance between upper surface of separator and the lower surface of lower die assembly), and then fasten the nuts. Recheck for several times until proper status is met. Place empty capsules in the capsule-feeding unit and start vacuum pump, rotate machine with hand crank to verify normal capsule splitting.
