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.
