Extrudor by MG America is a new powder dosing unit that only requires one dosing disk per capsule size, regardless of the dosage. The device was designed to work in conjunction with the company’s AlternA70N Intermittent Motion Capsule Filler, which is used for dosing and filling powders and pellets into hard-shell gelatin capsules.

The new unit comes equipped with a redesigned dosing container and disk to simplify the capsule filling process and improve dosing accuracy and weight consistency. It also reduces product wastage by maintaining the powder inside the container and disk to control powder loss, improve yields, and cut down on cleanup time.
