Encapsulation
Process

  • Known as the encapsulation process,
    two flat ribbons of gelatin/shell are made on
    the machine and brought together on a set of
    two identical rotating dies. These contain
    cavities—created in the exact (capsule) shape
    and size desired—which mould the gelatin into
    the shape on the die roll, and as they rotate,
    the two ribbons are brought together.

  • Simultaneously, a pump injects a precise
    amount of the filling into the moulded gelatin,
    through a nozzle within a wedge between the
    die rolls.

  • The wedge is heated, which allows the two
    gelatin ribbons to seal together. The fill
    injection causes the two flat gelatin ribbons to
    expand into the cavities of the die roll, creating
    a finished capsule. Following this, the capsules
    are collected and dried.
