Our diversity of provided
services includes the manufacture of softgel capsules. Softgel
manufacturing is a very specialized process. Each product
is made up of two parts. One being the molten gelatin for
the shell, and the other being the ingredients encapsulated
by the gelatin. Again, the machines must be set up to exacting
specifications for size, shape, and weight. In-process test
are performed every fifteen minutes to ensure that the product
produced is consistent and meets the specifications. Completed
softgels are automatically transferred to tumblers to allow
the gelatin shell to partially dry which shrinks the capsule
around the filling which helps it retain its shape. Then the
softgels are spread onto trays and placed in drying tunnels
to continue the drying process. The tunnels, as well as the
entire department, are supplied with clean, cool, dry air
from a controlled air handling device specifically designed
for the manufacture of the softgels. Once dried, the softgels
are inspected and polished to achieve a shiny luster to enhance
their appearance. Upon completion of the process, samples
are taken, the paperwork is reviewed, and both are submitted
to the quality control laboratory for further testing.
