The use of a tumble dryer provides an efficient and uniform drying method for large batches of softgel capsules

Softgel drying tumble dryers are commonly used in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for the drying process of softgel capsules. Softgel capsules are gelatin-based capsules filled with liquid or semi-solid ingredients, such as oils, vitamins, or other active substances. The drying step is crucial to remove moisture from the softgel capsules and ensure product stability.

Here’s a brief overview of the softgel drying tumble dryer process:

1. Loading: Softgel capsules are loaded into the drying tumble dryer.

2. Tumbling Action: The tumble dryer uses a rotating mechanism to create a tumbling action. This helps in exposing the softgel capsules to heated air uniformly.

3. Heating: Hot air is circulated within the drying chamber to heat the softgel capsules. This heat promotes the evaporation of moisture from the capsules.

4. Drying Time: The drying time can vary depending on factors such as softgel size, formulation, and the desired moisture content. The goal is to remove sufficient moisture to meet product specifications.

5. Cooling: After the drying phase, there may be a cooling phase where the softgel capsules are gradually cooled down to room temperature.

6. Unloading: Once the drying and cooling processes are complete, the dried softgel capsules are unloaded from the tumble dryer.

Features

1. Run them individually.

2. Prevent capsule cross-contamination

3. Move freely

Structure:

In order to quickly remove moisture from the soft capsule shell? We need to increase the fluidity of the air and also increase the surface area of the soft capsules. In this way, the water evaporation efficiency of the soft capsule shell can be provided. Improve the drying efficiency of soft capsules.

Now we know how soft capsules dry. Let's take a look at the structure and characteristics of the soft capsule tumbler dryer.

The one layer stand alone softgel capsules tumbler dryer is composed of three main structures:

1. Tumbler dryer basket: It is with big basket. Baset size is 800x1000mm. The mas loading capacity is around 100kg. It is very big and could load lots of softgel capsules in one time. Big work capacity

2. Air Supply System: Each tumbler dryer basket has two air blower. Each air blower had big work capacity. The air flow capacity is around 1900 cfm for each air blower. Air blower running speed could also be controlled by VFD and operated on HMI.

3. Electrical control system: we use international brand electrical compoentes like Siemen,s ABB electrical components. It is good to make sure the operation system is stable and run in right way. The operating system is easy to understand and learn. At the same time to meet the requirements of GMP and other relevant provisions.

It’s important to note that the specific parameters of the drying process, including temperature, humidity, and duration, are carefully controlled to ensure the quality and integrity of the softgel capsules. The use of a tumble dryer provides an efficient and uniform drying method for large batches of softgel capsules.

As technology and processes evolve, manufacturers may use variations of drying equipment or combine different technologies to achieve optimal results in terms of drying efficiency and product quality.
