    Custom Softgel Manufacturing

    SMP Nutra is a leading softgel manufacturer in the USA. Wether you have a formula prepared or want to create one, our team can help you with that process from beginning to end.

    The Softgel Manufacturing Process

    Softgel encapsulation is a common practice, as it is one of the most popular types of nutraceutical products. The process of producing a softgel capsule is comprised of six main steps.

    Preparing The Gelatin

    To begin, a machine will melt a large quantity of gelatin along with several other components. Warm water is typically used to achieve this. Once the gelatin turns into a large gel mass it will be ready.

    Fill Material Preparation

    Fill materials for softgels come in a variety of forms, such as liquids, oils, suspensions, or semi-solids. The fill materials are mixed and milled in a processing tank to form a fill mass.

    Encapsulator

    Encapsulation

    Here the mix is turned solid as the casting drum cools and solidifies the gelatin during rotation. The mix is then fed through a set of ribbon rollers and begins to take the shape of the softgel. After the shape is formed, the softgel is ejected from the ribbon rollers.

    Drying

    Following encapsulation, the formed softgel capsules fall onto a conveyor. In this step, the softgel capsules are directly transferred into a tumble dryer by the conveyor. The tumble dryer works to remove any excess moisture on the softgel capsules.

    Inspection

    Following the completion of the drying stage, the softgel capsules will be transferred to the inspection station for quality control. The products need to be inspected to find and remove any undersized or oversized, deformed, or leaking softgels.

    Sorting

    Sorting machines are designed to provide visual inspection and sorting of softgel capsules. They automatically inspect the entire surface of the softgel capsules and sort out defectives based on color, shape, thickness, or diameter requirements.

    Cleaning and Polishing

    After sorting out qualified softgels, a polishing machine is then used to remove any oil residue or debris from the softgel surface. This is to give the softgel it’s traditional shape and look.

    Bottling & Shipment

    The softgels are now ready to be poured into their packaging, labels applied to them, and prepared to be sent out. The softgel manufacturing process is now complete.
