You want to choose the size that holds the amount closest to what you want each capsule to hold.
But in general, most adults choose size 00. If they have trouble swallowing pills, they may choose size 0 instead, while people who want very high doses and have no problem swallowing choose size 000.
To make sure you choose the right capsule size, check out our capsule size chart and guide.
The most common capsule size is 00, followed by 0. Many store-bought supplements also use size 00 because it holds a good amount of powder without being too large to swallow.
Most machines are made for one size per machine, so you need a different model for each capsule size. However, our Pro-Op Series 300 offers optional size-change parts, which let you use more than one size on the same machine.
After filling your capsule evenly to the brim, weigh a few of them to confirm the amount inside. Our digital scale was designed for just that.
The secret is to mix in a second ingredient with your main ingredient at the right ratio so when you fill capsules, each capsule has exactly the amount of the main ingredient you want! We've made very easy online calculators and instructions to follow to do this you can find here.
Yes, you can fill capsules with oil, but you must use a syringe to place the oil into each capsule body one at a time. Oil requires more care and can be messy, so it usually takes longer than filling with powder. See our video on how to do this here.
Our Core Series is the best choice for beginners. It is simple to use, easy to learn, cost friendly, and perfect for making smaller batches at home.
For small businesses, the Pro Series and Pro-Op 300 are the best options (depending on your budget and the output required). The Pro Series offers fast, consistent manual filling with easy tool-free cleaning, while the Pro-Op 300 speeds up production by automatically separating joined capsules.
The Core Series is a simple ABS plastic capsule filler made for home users and smaller batches. The Pro Series is a CNC-made acrylic and stainless steel upgrade built for higher volume, better durability, and smoother operation. Both use pre-separated capsules, but the Pro Series is the better choice for businesses or anyone who wants a more advanced machine. For full details, see our Core vs Pro comparison article.
Manual machines require you to manually separate, fill, and press plates together to join the capsules. Semi-automatic machines automate one or more of these steps to save time. In our Pro-Op Series, the automated step is the separation of joined capsules, so you can work faster without splitting them by hand.
