We investigate the mixing time of the capacity k simple exclusion process (also called the partial exclusion process) of Schultz and Sandow with m particles on a segment of length N. We show that the k-SEP exhibits cutoff at time (1)/(2kπ2)N2log m. We also introduce a related complete multi-species process that we call the Sk,N shuffle and show that this process exhibits cutoff at time (1)/(2kπ2)N2log (kN). This extends the celebrated result of Lacoin which determined the mixing time of the symmetric simple exclusion process on a segment of length N and the adjacent transposition shuffle, and proved cutoff in both.
