Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for sealing telescopically joined hard shell capsules. The method includes i. placing the capsule in a static sealing position in a capsule carrier assembly; ii. in the sealing position, applying a sealing fluid uniformly to the gap of the capsule; iii. rotating the capsule into a static suction position angularly spaced from the sealing position; and iv. in the suction position, providing an area of low pressure around the capsule so as to remove excess sealing liquid from the capsule. The apparatus includes a frame, a capsule carrier, a sealing device, and a suction device. The capsule carrier including a cavity configured to accommodate a capsule. The sealing device being configured apply a sealing fluid. The suction device being configured to provide an area of low pressure around a capsule in a cavity of the capsule carrier.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for sealing telescopically joined hardshell capsules. The method comprises i. placing the capsule (15) in a static sealing position (52) in a capsule carrier assembly (3); ii. in said sealing position (52), applying a sealing fluid uniformly to the gap of the capsule; iii. rotating the capsule (15) into a static suction position (53) angularly spaced from the sealing position (52); and iv. in said suction position (53), providing an area of low pressure around the capsule (15) so as to remove excess sealing liquid from the capsule.
