  Fill weights will not be impacted.

•

  After capsule separation it is normal that the capsule bodies stay unevenly in the filler.

•

  There is a slight variation in diameter and height of the capsules. This allows some capsules to fall through to the bottom 

while others are not. 

•

  Capsules should not stay higher than the top sheet. Use the powder spreader to put them into place before pouring the 

powder.

•

  After the first tapping the capsule bodies will stay 0.5 to 1 mm lower than the top sheet.

If you face difficulty to fully lock the capsules in the Filler, remove Caps Tray with capsules reassembled. Turn over the Caps 
Tray and press capsules with your thumbs to fully lock them.

Please pay attention that the capsules must be stored and filled  on 15 to 22°C (59 to 72°F) with humidity from 35 to 65%.

Orienter Tray should be pushed 2 or 3 times to allow all the capsules fall through the Orienter Tray. This is caused by the vari-
ation of the capsules diameter, and also by the static charge of the capsule bodies.
