Encapsulation Machine

SINDA is a professional manufacturer of  encapsulation machine. SEC series encapsulation machine seals a certain amount of liquid, suspension, paste, etc., into soft capsules by pressing. The encapsulation machine can produce soft capsules in various shapes such as spherical, olive-shaped, and cylindrical. The soft capsule shell is made of gelatin, glycerin, or suitable medicinal materials. It is suitable for the production of various medicines, health care products, cosmetics, and even paintballs for outdoor simulated shooting.

How does the encapsulation machine work?

The encapsulation machine uses two continuous counter-rotating mold cavities to squeeze the rubber into soft capsules and simultaneously complete the filling of medicines into the soft capsules. After the soft capsule is made, it enters a tumble dryer for drying and shaping, and then it is washed and dried.

How are softgels made into different shapes?

The shape of the soft capsule is extruded through the cavity’s shape, which can be customized according to customer requirements. Common shapes include Round (0.15-0.3ml), Oval (0.10-0.5ml), Oblong (0.3-0.8ml), and cylinder (0.4-4.5ml), among others.

What are the advantages of the SEC series encapsulation machine?

1. The SEC series encapsulation machineis made of stainless steel 304 plate.
2. The feeding pump body assembly, main shaft, and transmission box of the SEC series encapsulation machineare processed by a precision machining center imported from Germany, ensuring filling accuracy and appearance quality.
3. PLC programming system, touch screen, relay components, and temperature controller of the SEC series encapsulation machineare all imported products, guaranteeing reliability and service life.
4. The SEC series encapsulation machinemotor and geared motor adopt domestic and export standard products, with strict inspection (100% inspection) ensuring product quality.
5. The speed of the mold, rubber wheel, and net-drawing shaft of the main machine part of the equipment is adjusted separately, effectively solving the problem of rubber accumulation and enhancing operational efficiency.
6. The mold of the SEC series encapsulation machineis made of hard aviation aluminum alloy or copper alloy. The heating syringe and material liquid distributor are made of copper alloy, while parts in contact with drugs are stainless steel. This design eliminates risks associated with traditional carbon steel chrome plating processes, prolonging equipment lifespan. Mold components are precision-manufactured by imported CNC machining centers, ensuring high quality.
7. The SEC series encapsulation machineadopts advanced automatic detection liquid level control, simplifying operation and reducing raw material waste.
8. The gear box of the main engine is made of cast iron for effective shock absorption and smooth operation. Worm gears are tin bronze, while worms and gears are high-quality steel, ensuring precise transmission and low friction. High-quality rolling bearings are used throughout for transmission accuracy.
9. The entire SEC series encapsulation machinestructure is stainless steel, meeting GMP requirements. The tumble dryer features oil-free lubrication and non-toxic, high-strength polyethylene transmission wheels, maintaining cleanliness during operation. A stainless steel receiving plate inside the dryer collects oil and debris, keeping the workshop floor clean.
10. The conveyor design is lightweight and features a smooth Teflon-coated TR fiber belt for easy cleaning and preventing finished capsule accumulation.
11. The thermal insulation storage tank is constructed entirely of stainless steel.

How is the rubber of the soft capsule made?

According to the proportion required by the production process, pure water, solid gelatin, additives, vitamins, glycerin, etc., are added to the chemical glue tank and stirred at a low temperature of 70-80°C. After removing air bubbles from the glue and achieving the desired consistency, the glue is transferred to the gelatin bucket and left to stand. After a certain period, the matured glue is transferred to the heated gelatin boxes on the left and right sides of the soft capsule filling machine. It is then applied to the rolling mold and cooled to form solid rubber.

When purchasing a SEC series encapsulation machine, there are several important considerations:

Capsule Specifications: Clearly communicate the shape and filling volume requirements for the soft capsules you intend to produce. This information is crucial for SINDA to design appropriate soft capsule molds.

Power Supply Voltage: Inform SINDA about your power supply voltage specifications. They will configure the electrical components accordingly to ensure the equipment is compatible with your voltage standards.

Environmental Requirements:

• Soft Capsule Production Workshop: Air conditioning is typically necessary to maintain stable indoor temperature and humidity. This ensures optimal conditions for equipment operation and soft capsule production.
• Ingredient Room: Temperature should be maintained between 20-28 degrees Celsius with relative humidity (RH) not exceeding 60%. This room temperature is critical for soft capsule production.
• Pill Pressing Room: Temperature should be controlled at 21-24 degrees Celsius with RH between 40%-55%.
• Drying Room: Maintain a temperature of 24-30 degrees Celsius and RH below 40%.
• Pill Sorting Workshop: Temperature should be kept at 20-28 degrees Celsius with RH not exceeding 60%.

How to choose the SEC series encapsulation machine model?

Softgel capsule volumes are measured by volume. The encapsulation machine’s multi-channel plunger pump determines volume based on plunger diameter and travel distance. Choose the appropriate SEC model based on desired soft capsule shape and filling capacity using the table below. 1 drop = 0.0616 ml.
