Customized Pinbar Design
When customizing Pinbars, our Design Team focuses on critical factors that enhance performance and optimize cost efficiency.
Type of Capsules
- Based on customer requirements, we tailor fitment parameters for Gelatin, HPMC, Pullulan, or other Veg capsules.
- This precision-driven customization ensures perfect fitment while minimizing raw material consumption.
Capsule Wall Thickness
- Our designs account for the specified capsule wall thickness, ensuring an ideal, tailor-made fit that enhances functionality and efficiency.
Pre-Lock Force Optimization
- We determine the optimal pre-lock force necessary to prevent loose fitting or non-separation issues in automatic capsule sorting and filling machines.
- By designing Pinbars to achieve this precise force, we help reduce capsule rejection rates and minimize machine downtime.
Final Locking Force & Air Vent Functionality
- We carefully balance final locking force with air vent functionality to prevent capsule popping post-filling and during transportation.
- This critical design consideration ensures capsule integrity and safety at every stage.
Uninterrupted Production & Peace of Mind
By addressing these essential parameters, our design team ensures that your Pinbars are optimized for superior performance, quality, and cost savings. A well-designed and precisely manufactured Pinbar results in uninterrupted production and absolute peace of mind for capsule manufacturers.



Precision-Engineered Pinbars: A Synergy of Design, Manufacturing, and Accuracy
Our Pinbars are the result of seamless collaboration between three key pillars:
- Innovative Design
- High-Tech Manufacturing
- Uncompromising Accuracy
This integrated approach gives our Pinbars a distinct competitive edge in terms of performance and quality.
With over 40 years of expertise, our team of highly skilled engineers has consistently delivered top-quality solutions, adapting to the evolving demands of our customers.
Whether you require a new Pinbar design or modifications to an existing one, our Design Team follows a rigorous protocol to ensure optimal results.
Our Design Process
1. Data Collection & Inputs
Before initiating the design phase, we gather comprehensive information, which may include:
- Customer Drawings
- Existing Pinbar Samples
- Capsule Samples
- Specific Customer Requirements
In cases where only a few capsule samples are available, we leverage our expertise and customer inputs to develop an optimized design.
2. Design Study & Validation
- We utilize Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation and analysis techniques to assess the existing design.
- The results are compared against our extensive database, built from supplying over 100 sets of Pinbars.
- The final Pinbar Design is meticulously crafted to produce capsules that exceed expectations in quality, functionality, and aesthetics.
Customized Pinbar Solutions
To ensure optimal performance and cost efficiency, our design team focuses on four critical factors:
- Capsule Type
- We tailor fitment parameters based on the capsule type—whether Gelatin, HPMC, Pullulan, or other vegetarian capsules.
- This precision-driven customization ensures a perfect fit while minimizing raw material waste.
- Capsule Wall Thickness
- We account for the specified capsule wall thickness during the design phase, ensuring an ideal, tailor-made fit for each application.
- Pre-Lock Force Optimization
- Our team determines the ideal pre-lock force to prevent loose or non-separating capsules in automatic sorting and filling machines.
- This precision ensures reduced capsule rejection rates and minimal machine downtime.
- Final Locking Force & Air Vent Functionality
- We balance the final locking force with air vent functionality to prevent capsule popping after filling and during transportation.
- This critical consideration ensures capsule integrity and safety throughout the production process.
Uncompromised Quality & Seamless Production
By addressing these essential criteria, we ensure that every Pinbar is customized for superior performance, quality, and cost efficiency.
A well-designed and precisely manufactured Pinbar guarantees uninterrupted production and complete peace of mind for capsule manufacturers.
At HALLMARK, we firmly believe that design is the foundation of a flawless capsule—and we are committed to delivering excellence in every Pinbar we create.
