Softgel Drying
The softgel drying tumbler is a crucial shaping and drying equipment in the post-production process of softgels. It is specifically designed for various types of softgels (such as those containing liquid or semi-solid fillings like fish oil, vitamins, and probiotics), using gentle, uniform dynamic tumbling and constant temperature airflow to achieve initial shaping and surface drying of the capsules.
The equipment typically features a full stainless steel structure, with the main body consisting of multiple (or single) independently controlled rotating cages. The interior features a mesh design, ensuring continuous gentle tumbling of the capsules during rotation to prevent sticking and deformation. Combined with an adjustable temperature and airflow clean air circulation system, it efficiently removes surface moisture from the capsules, maintaining stable capsule shape and uniform gloss.

Benefits
The soft capsules are continuously and gently tumbled on a mesh screen by a slowly rotating cage, combined with evenly distributed clean hot air circulation, ensuring uniform heating and drying of each capsule surface, effectively preventing localized overdrying, sticking, or deformation.
Provides single-layer, double-layer, and multi-layer configurations, allowing for capacity expansion within a limited footprint. Each layer can independently control rotation speed, direction, and temperature, supporting process adjustments at different drying stages and adapting to multi-variety, small-batch, or continuous production needs.
Equipped with a hot air circulation system with adjustable temperature, airflow speed, and filtration levels, ensuring that the incoming air meets cleanliness requirements and allowing for precise control of drying intensity based on capsule properties and drying stages, balancing efficiency and capsule quality.
Utilizes a human-machine interface or PLC control system, allowing for preset and storage of drying process parameters (such as time, temperature, rotation speed, and forward/reverse rotation cycles), enabling automated operation and batch consistency, reducing manual intervention.
The entire machine is made of 304/316 stainless steel, the cage can be quickly disassembled, and the internal design is free of dead corners, meeting GMP cleaning requirements and facilitating thorough cleaning and disinfection during batch changes.
Equipped with safety mechanisms such as overload protection, over-temperature alarm, and emergency stop brake, ensuring smooth and low-noise operation, with a robust and durable structure suitable for 24-hour continuous production environments.

FAQ
What types of soft capsules can your drying machine handle?
Our drying equipment is suitable for shaping and drying various types of soft capsules, including those filled with oil-based, suspension, and functional liquid contents. It is widely used for soft capsules of different specifications and shapes in the fields of health products, pharmaceuticals, functional foods, and cosmetics.
How complicated and time-consuming is it to change over products or tooling?
Product changeover is simple and quick. The equipment uses a modular cage design, and changing products usually only requires cleaning or replacing the sieve, and adjusting temperature and speed parameters. Preparation can generally be completed within 30 minutes, without the need to replace complex parts or experience prolonged downtime.
What is the production capacity range of your drying machine?
The equipment capacity covers different needs, from small-scale testing to large-scale production, and supports continuous feeding mode. Drying time can be flexibly adjusted according to process requirements.
Are your machines compliant with international standards like cGMP and FDA?
Yes. The equipment features a full stainless steel structure, a dead-angle-free design, and is equipped with a clean air filtration and temperature control system. It complies with cGMP, FDA, and pharmaceutical/food production hygiene standards, and we can provide material certificates and equipment validation support documents.
What after-sales service and technical support does your company provide?
We provide comprehensive technical support, including equipment installation guidance, process debugging, and operation training, to ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment and continuous optimization of the drying process.
