Close a capsule and a small gap remains where the cap overlaps the body. Banding seals it: a thin liquid band of gelatin or HPMC is applied around that joint, closing the gap so a liquid fill stays inside and leaving visible evidence of any attempt to open the capsule.
The ABS-20 is an automatic liquid capsule band sealing machine built in stainless steel, designed for sealing liquid-filled capsules. The fill goes in on one machine; the band keeps it there.
For producers working with liquid formulations in hard capsules, this is the step that keeps the fill where it belongs. Send an enquiry for this capsule band sealer for liquid filled hard capsules.

Why are liquid-filled capsules band sealed?
A thin band of gelatin or HPMC around the cap–body joint seals the gap so the liquid stays inside, and gives visible tamper evidence.
