How Does Softgel Manufacturing Work
Softgels are perfect for providing dosages of liquids, suspensions, pastes, and dry powders. As an oral delivery system, they versatile, working well for ingredients that can’t be put into tablet form. And because your formulation will be suspended in liquid, they offer more bioavailability.
- Fill Material Preparation : Preparing the oil & ingredients that will be filled inside the softgel. This requires equipment such as processing tanks, sieves & mills, vacuum homogenizers etc.
- Encapsulation : Capsule particles of different materials and specifications can be made according to customer needs. Stability of filling and the uniformity of the gap is ensured for each single softgel.
- Drying : Removing excess moisture from the shell, allowing it to shrink, making the softgel more firm and durable.
- Cleaning, Inspection & Sorting : We ensure all softgels are free of moisture issues and defects by the thorough inspection of the final product.
- Automatic packaging : After packaging material is sterilized, the whole process of filling, weight checking, sealing, labeling and coding shall be carried out automatically.
