Soft gelatin capsule manufacturing
In soft gelatin manufacturing, warm liquid gelatin is dispersed on a slowly rotating stainless steel drum. As the drum rotates, a supply of freeze-dried air solidifies the gelatin, causing a sticky elastic band to roll off the other end. This thin band automatically forms a capsule filled with medication. If the temperature and humidity are too high, the gelatin will begin to soften and prevent solidification. Soft, moist capsules are transferred from the sealer to a drying drum or chamber for rapid drying, depending on the amount of moisture to be removed. Moisture must be removed gradually to prevent surface hardening. Drying at high temperatures can jeopardize the quality of the dried product.
Affordable, cost-effective products tend to be more popular in the market. industrial dehumidifier in the pharmaceutical warehouse moisture dehumidifier is the use of the principle of freeze-drying, the humid air inhaled into the evaporator down to below the dew point temperature, so that the gaseous water in the air condenses into water droplets separation, and then through the freezing compressor condensation heat heating up and discharging the dry air, in order to achieve the drying and dehumidification purpose.
Processing of softgel capsules (RH/temperature requirements - 15 + 5% at 20°C)
Typical flow chart for softgel capsules
Encapsulation - > Drying - > Packaging (Blister / Peel / Alu-Alu)
In the case of encapsulation and packaging, the required humidity level at 20°C is 30 ± 5%. Drying of soft gelatin capsules is tricky as it has to be fried under very controlled conditions such as RH / Temp, neither of which should exceed 20, as well as specific air changes and drying times. The moment any conditions deteriorate, the capsule may become brittle, soft, etc.
Application: Drying of soft gelatin capsules
Temperature: 25℃ 77℉
Humidity %RH: 20-25
Due to the high cost-effective, many pharmaceutical factories, pharmaceutical companies or enterprises in their drug stores have chosen to make the drug storehouse moisture dehumidifier and storehouse industrial dehumidifier to strictly control the humidity between the library ring, for a variety of medicines to provide a most suitable humidity environment, to avoid the drugs in the storage process by the impact of humid air and loss.
