The new capsule filling machine Capsylon GKF705 has been on the market since May 2010. It thus completes the cost-optimized Capsylon machine family, consisting of the Capsylon 705 (up to 42,000 capsules/h), Capsylon 1505 (up to 92,000 capsules/h) and Capsylon 3005 (up to 175,000 capsules/h). Thanks to the excellent reputation of the already established Bosch GKF models, the first orders were placed in a very short time. Several Capsylon 705s, which produce up to 42,000 capsules an hour, were ordered for dietary supplement and health care products as well as pharmaceutical products. Prior to placing their orders, the manufacturers, all of which are small companies, initially considered capsule filling machines from aggressively-priced competition, however, they finally decided on the Bosch model Capsylon 705 – and thus on Bosch as business partner for the first time – because of the obvious advantages for their production and the intrinsic value. …more

Here is a technical tip for properly aligning the segment turret and the dosing turret with respect to each other, resulting in proper transfer station alignment.
Whenever you need to re-align the segment turret because of removal for maintenance or because of a crash, the most accurate method involves using special transfer station alignment pins available from Bosch (see info below). The importance of proper transfer station alignment, is that all other alignments use this as a reference point. Aligning the segment turret by “eye balling” the closing or ejection pins in the center of the segments will get you close, but not perfect. …more
