Performance and features
- This powerful production machine can manufacture up to 370 million soft gel capsules per year (based on the 200C model, size 8 oval shape, operating at 3 revolutions per minute, 24 hours a day, for 300 days a year).
- The dosing unit utilizes advanced linear transmission systems to ensure a filling accuracy within 2%. The encapsulation process achieves a capsule integrity rate of over 98%.
- An advanced water cooling system is employed to prevent contamination caused by air.
- The lubrication of the capsule shells is performed using micro-dosing oil technology, minimizing oil consumption. When using vegetable oil for lubrication (without printing), there is no need to wash the capsules.
- The high-quality capsule conveying system uses FDA-approved food-grade conveyor belts that are non-toxic, non-adhesive, and easy to clean.
- Optimized molds are designed using high-quality aerospace alloy materials, undergo high-precision CNC machining, and receive special surface treatments to ensure mold longevity.
- Advanced manufacturing and assembly processes guarantee machine stability, ensuring consistent capsule compression quality, high operational efficiency, and excellent capsule shapes.
- The machine incorporates an automated glue and feeding system engineering to reduce labor intensity, improve working conditions, and comply with GMP regulations.
- The liquid level inside the gelatin box remains at a constant position, aided by a percentage gauge that assists in displaying gelatin thickness for easy and accurate adjustment.
- Throughout the design and production processes, materials that are non-toxic, safe for human contact, and free from potential contamination have been used for components that come into contact with pharmaceutical liquids and gelatin. Consideration has been given to operator safety, convenience, and ease of cleaning.

FAQS
Below are some frequently asked questions about softgel capsule production line.
A typical softgel production line includes a softgel encapsulation machine, gelatin melting system, fill material preparation system, gelatin and medicine holding tanks, chiller, tumble dryers, and auxiliary equipment such as color mixing systems and drying tunnels.
The primary raw materials are gelatin (either animal-based or plant-based), plasticizers like glycerin or sorbitol, fill materials such as oils or active pharmaceutical ingredients dissolved in oil, and additives like colorants and preservatives.
The process includes gelatin preparation, fill material production, gelatin and fill material holding, encapsulation, shaping and cooling, drying, and post-encapsulation treatments such as inspection and polishing.
Production capacity depends on the specifications of the encapsulation machine, including its speed and size, as well as the overall configuration of the production line.
Quality control involves inspecting raw materials, monitoring the encapsulation process, testing finished capsules for attributes like weight, appearance, and disintegration time, and conducting stability studies.
Auxiliary equipment may include color mixing systems, drying trays, drying tunnels, stone mills, vacuum homogenizers, visual inspection systems, sorting machines, and polishing machines.
Ensuring uniformity involves using high-quality raw materials, employing appropriate mixing techniques, utilizing precise filling equipment, and implementing rigorous process controls.
Challenges include maintaining gelatin stability, achieving consistent fill material distribution, ensuring proper sealing of capsules, and preventing defects like cracks or deformation during drying.
Selection should be based on production scale, required output, capsule size and shape specifications, desired automation level, and budget considerations.
Investment costs vary widely based on equipment quality, production capacity, and line configuration, ranging from under $200,000 for smaller setups to over $1 million for high-capacity lines.
