ABSTRACT:
A capsule-making system for the manufacture of capsules for pharmaceutical use includes an elevator for manipulating and uniformly heating a plurality of vertically stacked pin bars prior to dipping. The heated elevator station is positioned before the dipping station as part of the capsule-making machine. The elevator comprises a series of vertically stacked pin bars. A series of oil lines carrying hot oil is provided is within the elevator such that each of the pin bars is evenly heated. More than one elevator (i.e., more than one pin bar stack) may be situated in a side-by-side manner. Each elevator stack is selectively moved up or down by means of one or more hydraulic cylinders.
