Used MG2 Capsule Fillers for Sale 10


MG2 of Bologna pioneered continuous-motion capsule filling, and its machines, from the Flexalab for R&D and small batches through the Planeta range to high-output G100/G140 class fillers, dose powder, pellets, tablets, and combinations into hard capsules at up to 140,000 capsules per hour.

Used MG2 fillers serve pharma, nutraceutical, and probiotic production worldwide. Exapro listings vary by model, dosing units, size parts, and documentation. Compare specifications and submit an enquiry through the listing page on Exapro to get details from the seller.

Capsule filling rewards continuous motion, and MG2's architecture, where capsules flow through dosing without indexing stops, delivers gentler handling and higher sustained output than intermittent designs, which is why the Bologna firm shares the segment summit with Bosch/Syntegon and IMA. On the used market MG2 machines attract both pharmaceutical buyers, who need the documentation, and the booming nutraceutical sector, which prizes the output and flexibility for powders and pellets.

Model selection follows scale: the Flexalab covers development and clinical batches with quick format changes, Planeta machines span mid-range production with modern controls and containment options, and G-series fillers (G70, G100, G140 class) anchor high-volume lines. Dosing units are half the machine's identity, since powder dosators, pellet units, tablet insertion, and combination dosing are modular, and the included units plus size parts for your capsule range (typically 00 to 4) drive real value more than the base machine's age.

Buying a used MG2 capsule fillers: what to check

Inspect the dosing units first: dosator pins and bushings, or pellet chamber components, wear with abrasive products and determine weight consistency, so ask for recent fill-weight capability data. Verify the capsule transport segments and opening/closing stations for wear, and run empty capsules through the machine if possible, watching rejection rates.

Confirm size part inventories item by item against your capsule formats, check the weight-control system (statistical or 100 percent net-weight on later machines) calibrates correctly, and review vacuum system condition. For pharma use, demand qualification documentation and software backups, and verify change-part storage was organised, since missing segments are a common and costly discovery. Ask about MG2 service history, which the factory supports across old generations. Also verify the capsule rectification and orientation section, since misorientation rates climb sharply when these components wear.
