Starch softgels trial production guidance with gelatin machine​

FAQ Guide

1. What are Softgel Capsulesn?

Softgel capsules are translucent capsules with oil filling inside, enclosed in a sealed seal of a gelatin shell.

You will use a softgel encapsulation machine to produce softgel capsules. Softgel capsules are generally popular and used by many people for the following reasons:

  • You can easily customize your own softgel capsules to suit your personal shape and size.
  • It has increased absorption
  • You can fill different types of liquids, semi-liquids and suspensions.
  • Soft gel capsules can be easily swallowed without water.
  • Soft gel capsules have a tight seal that is not easy to tamper with. thus making it safer

2. How does the Softgel encapsulation machine work ?

In Softgel Encapsulation Machine Applications You will need to know how the machine works. Here is a step-by-step guide on how a softgel encapsulation machine works.

Step One: Preparing Gelatin

  • First, you will prepare the outer shell of the soft gelatin capsule using ingredients such as gelatin.
  • Before you start making gelatin capsules You must ensure that the softgel encapsulation machine works well.
  • In this case, you will mix all the ingredients such as gelatin, plasticizer, clouding agent, water and coloring agent in a bucket.
  • You will heat and mix all the ingredients in a mixing tank and dissolve the gelatin for about three hours.
  • It leads to the formation of a thick syrup for the outer shell of the softgel capsule.
  •  

The second step: the formation of the filling material inside.

  • This is the step where you will prepare the materials that you will fill into the soft gelatin capsules.
  • The fill material is always in the form of a liquid, suspension or semi-liquid formulation.
  • You may also use certain ingredients such as oils or other pharmaceutical ingredients.
  • with material in hand, You will pour it into material or medicine bins.

Step Three: Soft Gelatin Capsule Encapsulation Process

  • As soon as the gelatin moves from the melting tank to the distribution box The gelatin spreads in a thin layer.
  • The thin layer cools and remains at a specific temperature to form the gelatin ribbon.
  • It then moves from the distribution box to the tooling system corresponding to the filling material.
  • at that point The ribbon wraps the filling material inside and seals it tightly to form a capsule.
  • with compression The rotational molding system seals the soft gelatin ribbon with fill material inside.
  • All soft gelatin capsules exit the system via a drain.

Step Four: Further Processing

  • Further processing involves drying, polishing and filling of soft gelatin capsules.
  • First, you will remove the gelatin capsule from the web using a peel-off roller.
  • In case the gelatin capsule gets stuck You will remove it using a roll brush.
  • They are moved on a conveyor belt to the drying unit.
  • You will place soft gelatin capsules on a tray and transfer them to a tumble dryer.
  • You’ll leave it under the dryer for a while to remove excess moisture from the capsules.
  • Then put it in a polishing machine to polish thoroughly.
  • Finally, you will inspect the soft gelatin capsules and dispose of any defective softgels before packaging.

3. What is the quality standard for Softgel encapsulation equipment ?

When you buy soft gelatin encapsulation machine You must ensure that the quality standards you set are met.

Here are the main quality standards you need to confirm about your soft gelatin encapsulation machine.
