Softgel (soft gelatin capsules)

A complete line for soft gelatin capsule production: gelatin mass and fill suspension preparation, encapsulation, drying and inspection. The equipment suits pharmaceutical, dietary supplement and cosmetic manufacturers, from laboratory batches to industrial volumes.

How to choose softgel equipment

The line depends on the fill product, capsule size and shape and the production volume. We help you select individual machines or a turnkey line, from gelatin preparation to inspection of finished capsules.

Is there laboratory equipment?
