Troubleshooting

Sometimes unavoidable issues will occur while operating the SACF 25

®

. Fortunately, there are 

several methods to remedy these issues.

Common Issues

Symptom

Possible Cause

Possible Solution

Capsule caps fly from machine

The vacuum pressure is too high.

Adjust the vacuum pressure to 
approximately 0.03-0.04 MPa.

Two capsules are inserted into the 
Capsule Discs at the same time

The Capsule Sewing Mechanism's 
gate opens too early.

Adjust the mounting block so that 
the Sewing Section's gate allows the 
capsules to be center in the Capsule 
Discs' holes.

Capsules are not inserted into the 
Capsule Discs

The Capsule Discs' holes and the 
Capsule Sewing Mechanism teeth are 
not aligned/out of sync.

Use the Alignment Tools that come 
in the SACF 25

® 

Toolkit to realign the 

Capsule Discs and Capsule Sewing 
Mechanism teeth.

Capsule caps and bodies do not 
separate

The vacuum pump's pressure needs 
to be adjusted.

Increase the vacuum pump pressure.

The capsule sizes are inappropriate 
for the Tooling and/or capsules are 
defective.

Ensure that the capsules are 
standard-compliant and an 
appropriate size for the Tooling.

The capsules' fill measurements are 
inconsistent/uneven

The Capsule Disc is not in the correct 
position.

Reinsert the Capsule Disc and ensure 
that it is securely on its insert.

There is not enough powder in the 
Powder Hopper.

Pour more powder into the Powder 
Hopper.

The Tooling is damaged.

Remove and replace the Tooling 
(Capsule Discs, Capsule Magazine, 
and Capsule Ejection Disc)

The fill dosage is too high or too 
low

The speed of the Capsule Disc 
rotation and Auger inside of Powder 
Hopper is inconsistent.

Adjust the Capsule Disc's rotation 
speed and the Auger to until they are 
consistent.

The air pressure is not high enough to 
make the Capsule Disc rotate.

Check and adjust the air pressure to 
be around 0.4-0.7 MPa.

Capsules are locking too tight or 
too loose

The air pressure is too high or not 
high enough.

Adjust the air pressure to be around 
0.4-0.7 MPa.

The water content of the powder is 
too high.

Reduce the working environment's 
humidity to below 45% and/or dry the 
powder.
