Troubleshooting Common Capsule Filling Machine Issues

To find a solution, you may need to verify that if the powder is being uniformly put into each capsule. If it isn’t, the machine may need an adjustment or have a clog. It’s also good to regularly check your machine settings to make sure it is filling properly/consistently.
