Technophar successfully initiated an active program of developing its own Pinbars manufacturing technology, based on the experience of its own people and the performances of its modern equipment originating from Western Europe and North  America.

Technophar is strongly engaged in the process of manufacturing Pinbars in order to meet the most rigorous requirements of hard gelatin capsule  manufacturers.

Pinbars represent a commodity that is critical in the making of the two-piece empty hard gelatin capsules used in the Pharmaceutical and Nutritional Industry.

Tooling that has to be installed on the hard capsule machine to enable the molding and the making of different sizes of capsules in various designs and features.

The accuracy of dimensions and tolerances of capsules and their quality is highly dependent of the precision of the molding pins on Pinbars.

The range of Pinbars is suitable for hard gelatin capsules, with either Technophar's design or customer's design. Body and cap for all sizes: #000, #00, #0, #0EL #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5.

Bars, on which the pins are to be riveted, are made with either Technophar's design or customer's design for 5, 6 or 7 bar dipping system, with 30 holes and options of 22 or 27 holes. They are made of precision ground Stainless Steel grade 416, 24-28 RC.

Body & Cap Sizes
000; 00; 0; 0EL; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5

The PINS are available with either TECHNOPHAR'S design or as per customer's design of body & cap for all  sizes

Material
303 Stainless Steel 26-32 RC, 100%  crack test

All shapes and profiles are available as per customer's requirements.

Super-smooth surface finishing on the entire pin ( 0,05-0,10 µm) for trouble free stripping of the capsule during  the manufacturing process.

High abrasive resistance, due to Technophar's special developed technology of mechanical hardening on pins surface, which avoid stripper scratches on the pins and increases the work durability of the pins;  35-37RC  hardness of the superficial layer.

High accuracy of dimensions up to ± 5 µm (.0002") for the "working " diameters.

Locking system with double lock (complete ring lock on Body & Cap) or as per customer's requirements.

Pre-locks: two, four, six or eight pre-locks to protect the unfilled capsules against separation.

Air vents on body pins for air evacuation.

100% inspection for shape, dimensions and surface quality.
