Advantages Of Softgel Machine
 

Increased Production Capacity
One of the primary benefits of using a softgel machine is the significant increase in production capacity. Softgel machine is designed to work continuously without the need for frequent breaks or rest periods, ensuring a steady flow of production throughout the day. This consistent output can help companies streamline their manufacturing processes and meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality or accuracy.

 

Precision and Accuracy
Softgel machines can be programmed to fill capsules with different types of substances, such as liquids, powders, or pellets, with varying dosages and combinations. This versatility allows companies to produce a wide range of products efficiently and accurately, meeting the diverse needs of their customers. By eliminating human error and ensuring consistent dosing, these machines help companies maintain high-quality standards and comply with regulatory requirements.

 

Improved Quality Control
Using a softgel machine can help companies enhance their quality control processes by reducing the risk of contamination, cross-contamination, or dosage errors. These machines are designed with hygienic features and sterile environments to prevent external impurities from affecting the quality of the capsules.

 

Cost-Effectiveness
Softgel machines are designed for durability and longevity, requiring minimal maintenance and replacement parts over time. This reliability ensures consistent performance and minimal downtime, allowing companies to maximize their production output and reduce operational costs in the long run. By investing in a filling machine, companies can improve their bottom line by lowering production expenses, increasing productivity, and achieving a higher return on investment.

 

Customization and Flexibility
One of the key advantages of using a softgel machine is the customization and flexibility it offers in product design and development. These machines can be tailored to accommodate various capsule sizes, shapes, and colors, allowing companies to create unique and eye-catching products that stand out in the market.

Types of Softgel Machine

Manual Softgel Machine
These manual machines are meant from the ground up to require human attention. They have all the elements in place, but you need a human to go through the entire process and handle everything. It limits errors, sure, however it's time-consuming as well.


Automatic Softgel Machine
With these automated soft gel capsule making machines, every process is fully automated. That means you can easily set it up and forget it. All you have to do is to fill up the material in the beginning and take all the capsules at the end to store them properly.


Small or large scale machines
Aside from the type of utilization, you can also find machines suitable for different users. If you have a smaller business, then a small scale machine is ideal. However, for any medical business that needs to create capsules at a very fast pace, using large scale soft gel capsule making machines is preferred.

 

Key Components of Softgel Machine

 

 

Medicine hopper
The medicine pump has a very specific role, and that's to keep the liquid formulation that you will eventually push into the softgel capsules. The idea here is that you have a small glass window to see the liquid level.


Medicine pump
A medicine pump is found right under the hopper and the role is to send the formulations to the injection edge. The pump is also called a material feeding pump and it will pump material from the hopper and through the tube. Usually, the pump is made out of stainless steel.


Injection wedge
The wedge or injection wedge is a section shaped in the form of a wedge that will heat up the web and ensure it maintains the right temperature. These days, machines will have sensors for motion and temperature detection, and they can be incredibly powerful.


Medicine tank
They are normally built using stainless steel and their focus is to ensure that they maintain the material and prepare it for the encapsulation process of the soft gel capsules. Due to their nature, these tanks have a conical shape.


Gelatin Spreader Box
The unit spreads gelatin, and it will form a thin film. A soft gel manufacturing machine will have 2 spreader boxes, one on each side of the machine. That increases the efficiency of the product, while also making it easy for you to produce a larger number of capsules at once.


Material feeding pump system
Normally, this is found above your hopper and it has a simple role: it will suck material and then send it to the injection edge. It will have feeder and return tubes, in case the material will need to come back. Since we are working with tubes here, the machine will track the overall pressure and thus it keeps any damage away from the tubes.


Cooling drum
Cooling drums will cool the gelatin web, all while being in constant, rotative motion. There are water or fan-operated cooling drums, each with their own features.


Chilling system
There will be some machines that have a dedicated chilling system. The role of such a chilling system is to keep the gelatin at the right temperature. You get to set and control the temperature at all times.


Gelatin melting and mixing tank
Some of the soft gelatin encapsulation machines will have these tanks integrated, or they need to be acquired separately. The tank will allow you to melt and mix gelatin until it reaches the desired composition. These tanks can have clamps, wall jackets and valves. In order to maintain safety and great product quality, it's usually made from stainless steel.


Lubrication rollers
A lubrication roller's main focus is to ensure the gelatin web is tightened. That's great because it eliminates wrinkles, which could be a problem when it comes to the capsule quality.


Tumble dryer
Some machines will also have a tumble dryer. It will help remove any moisture found on the capsules. Moisture can lessen the effectiveness of these capsules, so you want them to be moisture-free. And that's where a tumble dryer comes in handy.


Stripper roller
The role of a stripper roller is to get those gelatin capsules from the web and remove, then collect them in a separate space.


Die roll brush
This brush is designed to remove any of the capsules that are stuck on the die rolls. Sometimes, these will get stuck and it will become a problem.


Discharge chute
A discharge chute will take the capsules from the die system and here they move to the conveyor. It's basically a method of transporting the capsules from one spot to the next.


PLC touchscreen
The softgel machine will also, usually have a PLC touchscreen, where you can monitor every stage, pause the process and make any adjustments as necessary.

 

 

Basic Principles of Softgel Machine

The liquid formulation is added into the medicine hopper, which is on top of the medicine pump. The pump will deliver the metered formulation to the injection wedge.


When the injection wedge receives the formulation, its role is to inject it into the soft gelatin capsules.


As the gelatin enters the encapsulator, it will go into the spreader box, where the gelatin will be stored and cast into a drum to create the ribbon. Then the casting drum will solidify the ribbon, since its role is to cool everything down.


The capsules will go through lubrication rollers, and after getting lubricated, they will go through the die roll brush and mangle roller that will remove softgell problems. The conveyor will push these to the tumble dryer and after drying, the entire process will be finished.

Applications of Softgel Machine

Pharmaceutical

The primary use for these machines is in the medical production and pharmaceutical world. Medical products need to be kept in capsules because otherwise any water or air exposure would change their consistency. That will also affect the potential results provided by the medical product. That's the reason why capsules are one of the most common types of delivery for medical products.

 

Supplements

A lot of supplements come in the form of capsules, and that's why these soft gel capsule machines can be extremely useful in the supplement niche. No matter if we are talking about workout supplements, vitamins or natural supplements, many of them are sold in the capsule format because it keeps their benefits and they last for a lot more time. Plus, exposure to the elements can mess up the quality of these supplements.

 

Health Food

Healthy foods can sometimes come in the form of capsules. That's why these soft gel capsule making machines have become very popular in the world of health foods. Capsules will dissolve in your stomach, and they are also very easy to ingest. That's why they have become a staple especially in the case of survival-focused foods or those that are powerful and need to be shared in a very specific dosage.
