Hero Introduction
| The SED-RJ-B automatic softgel encapsulation machine uses a rotary-die process to form, fill and seal soft capsules with oils, solutions, suspensions and paste-like materials. Six models cover laboratory development, pilot production and high-volume manufacturing, with reference outputs from 5,000 to more than 107,100 capsules per hour. Custom die rolls support different capsule shapes and fill weights, while controlled gelatin-ribbon spreading, precise temperature management and micro-lubrication help maintain stable encapsulation and consistent capsule quality. |
Why Choose the SED-RJ-B Series?
Precise Rotary-Die Encapsulation
The machine forms two gelatin ribbons, meters the fill material and seals the capsule in one continuous process.
Controlled Gelatin Ribbon Handling
Independent ribbon spreading and cooling help maintain stable ribbon thickness and reduce deformation during feeding.
Accurate Filling and Temperature Control
Model-specific feeding systems and controlled hoppers or injection wedges support consistent dosing across different formulations.
Micro-Lubrication Design
Fine oil control reduces unnecessary lubricant consumption and can simplify downstream capsule cleaning and drying.
Custom Capsule Shapes
Die rolls can be designed for oval, oblong, round, tube and other customer-specific capsule formats.
Scalable Production Options
The six-model range supports laboratory trials, pilot production and continuous industrial manufacturing.
Complete Line Integration
SED Pharma can configure gelatin melting, material preparation, encapsulation, drying, inspection and packaging equipment around the project requirements.
How the Softgel Encapsulation Process Works
| Stage | Purpose |
1. Gelatin preparation | Gelatin and other shell ingredients are melted, mixed and deaerated under controlled conditions. |
2. Fill-material preparation | The oil, solution, suspension or paste is mixed and transferred to the temperature-controlled feeding system. |
3. Gelatin ribbon formation | Two gelatin ribbons are formed and guided toward the rotary die rolls. |
4. Metering and encapsulation | The filling pump meters the material while the die rolls form, fill and seal each soft capsule. |
5. Initial drying | Fresh capsules are transferred to tumble dryers for shaping and surface-moisture reduction. |
6. Final drying and inspection | Capsules are dried to the required condition, inspected and transferred to downstream packaging. |
