Soft Gelatin Capsule Equipment

Machines for dosing and filling hermetically sealed, soft gelatin capsules that contain liquids or semisolid consumable products, typically for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and some food applications, such as fish oil capsules.

Category Explained

Soft Gelatin Capsule Equipment is designed for the precise dosing and encapsulation of liquids or semisolid substances within soft gelatin shells, catering primarily to the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and certain food sectors, including applications like fish oil supplements. These machines ensure the hermetic sealing of capsules, maintaining the integrity and dosage accuracy of the encapsulated contents, which is critical for consumer safety and product efficacy.

Typical products and applications include:

  • Fish oil and omega-3 supplements: Encapsulated in softgels to protect from oxidation and ensure accurate dosing
  • Liquid herbal extracts or botanicals: Delivered in soft capsules for easier swallowing and controlled release
  • Vitamins and fat-soluble nutrients (e.g., Vitamin D, E): Formulated in softgels for enhanced bioavailability
  • Pharmaceutical syrups or suspensions: Dosed into sealed capsules for extended shelf life and portability
  • CBD oils or nutraceutical blends: Packaged in soft gelatin form for precise and consistent delivery

Additional Considerations:

  • Ensures product safety and shelf stability: Hermetically sealed capsules protect contents from air, light, and moisture
  • Supports clean, accurate dosing: Ideal for liquid formulations that require high-precision encapsulation
  • Available in different sizes and shapes: Machines can be customized to produce oval, oblong, or round softgels
  • Designed for hygiene and efficiency: Built with food- and pharma-grade materials for easy cleaning and compliance
  • Suited for both small and large production runs: Offered in lab-scale, pilot, and high-capacity industrial models
