Collection: Manual Capsule Filler for Empty Capsules — Powder Tamping Trays (Size 00/0/1)

About Manual Capsule Filler for Empty Capsules — Powder Tamping Trays (Size 00/0/1)

A manual capsule filler is a handheld tray tool that lets users fill empty hard capsules with powders, herbs or supplement blends without electricity. Empty capsules are loaded, separated into caps and bodies, filled with a spreader and compacted with a tamping tool, then rejoined to lock. Popular with small supplement brands, herbalists and labs, it works with common sizes such as 00, 0 and 1, in plastic or stainless-steel construction.

How to Choose

• Capsule size & plates: confirm the filler supports your size (00/0/1/2/3) and whether plates are fixed or interchangeable.
• Material: plastic is light and low-cost for home use; stainless steel is durable and resists staining from herbal powders.
• Hole count & batch: choose tray capacity based on how many capsules you fill per session.
• Ease of cleaning: pick designs that disassemble for washing and check spare spreaders/tampers are available.
