Capsule Quality Control Measures

For more than 45 years, Vitaquest’s commitment to quality manufacturing has remained unwavering. We consistently meet the industry’s highest quality and safety standards by implementing stringent quality control measures at every stage of the capsule manufacturing process. These quality standards guide our work and ensure we deliver the highest quality supplements to our customers, including:

  •  Raw materials testing
    • Identity, potency, and purity
    • Microbiological compliance
    • Heavy metal compliance
  • Production testing of finished products
    • Uniformity of mix
    • Content uniformity
    • Repeat of the tests done on the raw materials (identity, potency, purity, microbiological compliance, and heavy metal compliance).
  • Stability testing of finished products
    • Accelerated stability, and/or
    • Ambient (real-time) stability

Weighing, Blending & Granulation

Before the capsule filling process begins, the powdered contents must be weighed, blended, and, in some cases, granulated. Precise weighing of the component powders occurs in one of eight dedicated pharmacy suites using calibrated scales to ensure accurate measurements that align with industry standards. The powders are then blended in one of 16 commercial blenders, including high-capacity ribbon blenders, V-blenders, and fluid bed granulators, to achieve the uniformity of mix required for accurate capsule filling.

Our recently installed KLS Capsule Filling Machine is a high-speed, tamping-style machine capable of operating with a maximum production rate of 225,000 capsules per hour!

Our State-of-the-Art Capsule Filling Machines 

Vitaquest’s high production capacity is supported by robust manufacturing facilities equipped with 16 encapsulation machines designed to accommodate a wide range of customer needs. This includes high-performance Index K120 and K150 machines capable of producing 120,000 and 150,000 capsules per hour, respectively. Each machine is outfitted with metal detectors for enhanced safety and capsule polishers to ensure clean, finished capsules that meet the highest quality standards.

Most recently, we installed a top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art KLS Capsule Filling Machine. This high-speed, tamping-style machine can operate at a maximum capsule production rate of 225,000 capsules per hour—double the output of our other encapsulation machines. Its main motor, indexing drives, and vacuum pump are engineered for durability, while time-saving mechanical designs allow for easy maintenance and faster changeovers.

This KLS Capsule Filling Machine represents the latest advancement in capsule-filling technology and will provide years of reliable, high-performance service.

Another sophisticated component of our commitment to producing the highest quality products is the Enclony PLANET 6G, our high-speed automatic tablet and capsule visual inspection machine. Equipped with cutting-edge vision technology, it uses ten 2D cameras to capture the full surface area of each unit and two 3D cameras to inspect the top and bottom of capsules. An infrared camera further evaluates fill volume to ensure no empty or underfilled capsules pass through inspection, which is critical for producing consistent, premium capsule products.

Vitaquest remains committed to investing in innovation and new technology across our manufacturing facilities. We look forward to sharing the many benefits of this new capsule-filling system—and other advancements—with our customers.

Vitaquest's Impressive Capsule Manufacturing Capacity 

As a best-in-class capsule manufacturing company, our manufacturing capacity is nearly 3 billion doses per year. This high yield accommodates a wide range of order quantities and quick turnaround times. 

The significance of this is the ability to turn on a dime when a valued customer has an unusual request or requires a much larger order than usual—especially in a situation where an order needs to be completed more quickly. 

In addition, Vitaquest’s impressive capacity means that our stock of capsules is significant, so it is far less likely to have delays due to a short supply of capsules. This also means that our purchasing power with capsule suppliers is significant, allowing us to provide you—our customer—with the best possible pricing for encapsulated products. 

Likewise, the fact that we specialize in acid-resistant, delayed-release capsules  allows you to easily bring high quality probiotic supplements to your customers in a timely manner.
