Fish Oil Soft Capsule Making Machine
Product Overview
With precision servo filling technology, intelligent temperature control, flexible mold selection, hygienic production design, and digital production management capability, the HSR Series provides a scalable solution for manufacturing fish oil capsules, pharmaceutical softgels, and functional soft capsule products.
Definition
The Fish Oil Soft Capsule Making Machine (HSR Series) manufactured by Sinoped is an automatic softgel encapsulation machine designed for producing liquid-filled soft gelatin capsules used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food supplement, and healthcare industries.
As a complete soft capsule manufacturing machine, the HSR Series integrates gelatin ribbon forming, precision filling, capsule sealing, molding, cutting, and discharge into one continuous production system. It is suitable for manufacturing fish oil soft capsules, omega-3 capsules, vitamin capsules, herbal oil capsules, pharmaceutical softgels, and other functional soft capsule products.
The equipment supports flexible production from small-batch trial manufacturing to large-scale commercial production. Through adjustable filling parameters, replaceable die rolls, intelligent temperature control, and automated production management, the HSR Series provides manufacturers with a flexible solution for different capsule specifications and production capacities.
Sinoped HSR Series includes models such as HSR-60, HSR-100, HSR-180H, HSR-200H, HSR-200, HSR-250C, HSR-250, and HSR-300H, covering laboratory development, pilot production, and industrial softgel capsule manufacturing requirements.
How It Works
The Softgel Encapsulation Machine produces soft capsules through a synchronized forming and filling process.
During operation, gelatin material is melted and formed into two continuous gelatin sheets. These gelatin ribbons are transported through a precision transmission system and accurately positioned between the die rollers.
At the same time, the filling system delivers liquid materials into the capsule cavity. The synchronized die rollers apply controlled pressure and temperature to seal the gelatin sheets, forming finished soft capsules with precise shape and filling volume.
The HSR Series adopts a servo-controlled filling system and intelligent temperature management technology. Filling speed and dosage can be digitally adjusted according to different materials, including low-viscosity oils, high-viscosity suspensions, herbal extracts, and pharmaceutical formulations.
The complete process includes:
Gelatin preparation → gelatin ribbon forming → filling material dosing → die roll forming → capsule separation → inspection → drying and packaging.
Core Product Features
High Output and Flexible Capsule Specification Adaptability
The Sinoped HSR Series Soft Capsule Production Machine is designed for continuous industrial production while maintaining flexibility for different capsule specifications.
The quick-change die roll structure allows manufacturers to produce standard soft capsules from 0# to 4# sizes as well as customized shapes including oval, olive, fish, and bullet-shaped capsules.
Liquid filling volume, gelatin sheet thickness, and forming parameters can be digitally adjusted, allowing the same machine platform to support product development, trial production, and large-scale manufacturing.
GMP Hygienic Design for Pharmaceutical Production
The HSR Series adopts a hygienic design concept suitable for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production environments.
All components contacting liquid materials, gelatin, and finished capsules can be manufactured using 316L sanitary stainless steel with mirror polishing treatment. The smooth surface design reduces material residue accumulation and facilitates cleaning and sterilization.
The machine adopts a separated structure between material-contact areas and mechanical transmission components, helping reduce contamination risks during production.
The enclosed protective structure with temperature and humidity control capability helps maintain a stable capsule forming environment, reducing gelatin cracking, sticking, and deformation caused by environmental fluctuations.
Quick-disassembly structures for material tanks, pipes, spray systems, and molds simplify cleaning procedures and support GMP production management requirements.
Precision Filling System with Low Material Loss
The HSR Series Softgel Filling Machine is designed for accurate filling of different liquid and suspension materials.
The machine can process:
· Fish oil
· Omega-3 oil
· Vitamin oil
· Herbal extracts
· Pharmaceutical oily formulations
· Powder-oil suspension mixtures
The sealed injection structure reduces leakage and splashing during high-speed operation. The filling system maintains stable dosage accuracy while reducing raw material waste.
The servo-controlled volumetric filling system allows segmented adjustment of filling speed and dosage. It is suitable for high-viscosity materials while reducing problems such as nozzle blockage and air bubble formation.
Technical Innovation Highlights
Dual Gelatin Sheet Uniform Thickness Forming Technology
The HSR Series uses synchronized gelatin sheet forming technology to improve gelatin thickness consistency.
Compared with conventional forming systems, the technology helps reduce uneven gelatin thickness, asymmetric capsule walls, sealing cracks, and leakage risks, improving finished capsule consistency during continuous production.
Low Temperature Constant Temperature Sealing Die Module
The innovative die module maintains stable temperature throughout the capsule forming process.
The controlled sealing pressure helps achieve uniform capsule edges without incomplete sealing or excessive deformation. The quick-change die positioning structure reduces replacement time because recalibration is not required after mold replacement.
Anti-Sticking Low-Damage Capsule Separation Technology
The capsule separation system is designed to reduce sticking between capsules and molds.
Finished capsules can be separated smoothly while minimizing gelatin damage, surface scratches, and deformation, helping reduce defective product rates.
Intelligent Independent Temperature Control System
The HSR Series uses independent temperature control zones with automatic compensation.
When workshop temperature conditions change, the system automatically adjusts heating output to maintain stable gelatin fluidity and forming conditions.
This helps ensure consistent capsule quality in different production environments.
Closed Circulation Feeding System
The closed-loop feeding system uses sanitary quick connections to reduce dead corners and material residue.
During shutdown, liquid material inside pipelines can automatically return, reducing leakage risks and supporting clean production.
For oxidation-sensitive materials, inert gas protection systems can be integrated according to customer requirements.
Digital Production Traceability System
The equipment provides industrial communication interfaces for integration with digital manufacturing systems.
Production parameters and operation data can be connected with MES or ERP systems, supporting production monitoring, process traceability, and GMP audit requirements for pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Intelligent Safety Protection System
The HSR Series integrates multiple safety protection functions, including:
· Safety door interlock shutdown
· Mold overload torque protection
· Temperature alarm protection
· Emergency stop system
· Pressure overload protection
· Independent heating protection against dry burning
These systems improve operational safety and reduce equipment damage caused by abnormal operating conditions.
