- 000, 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
- EL (Extended Length) versions
- Suitable for
- Gelatin Capsules
- Vegetarian / HPMC Capsules
Custom-Designed for Every Capsule
- Liquid-filled capsules
- Capsules for Dry Powder Inhalation (DPI)
- Capsules developed for unique customer-specific formulations and machinery
Design Configurations
Hallmark supplies pinbars in a wide range of proven configurations to match diverse production needs:
- Pin counts: 30 / 33 / 36 / 38 / 42 / 44 / 54 / 60 / 72 pins
- Bar configurations: 5, 6, 7, and 9-bar dipping types
- Pin arrangements: Single-row pins and Double-row pins
Each design is optimized for stability, dipping accuracy, and long-term performance on high-speed capsule machines.
Key Durability Features
- Rigorous incoming raw material inspection and testing protocols
- Highest possible surface hardness of the pins to reduce scratches and surface degradation
- German vacuum heat treatment for bars to ensure optimal hardness and toughness
- Mandatory 90 Degree bend testing as per ASTM A370 after heat treatment to confirm resistance to fatigue fractures
