Electrical Control System
Equipped with an industrial-grade electrical control system, the machine boasts a clear layout and standardized wiring for easy maintenance and troubleshooting. Adopting a PLC-based control architecture, it ensures stable operation and superior process repeatability under laboratory conditions—critical for obtaining consistent R&D data.
Gelatin Melting System – Key Structural Features
The stainless-steel gelatin melting system is dedicated to heating, mixing, and heat-preserving gelatin solution. Its optimized structural design effectively maintains stable temperature and viscosity of the gelatin solution, providing uniform, high-quality gelatin ribbons for smooth encapsulation—directly affecting the integrity and consistency of softgel products.
Small-Capacity Gelatin Melting Tank
Tailored for laboratory and pilot-scale applications, the small-capacity gelatin melting tank not only meets strict process requirements but also minimizes raw material consumption. This design is particularly ideal for frequent R&D operations, where multiple formulations and tests are conducted with limited sample quantities.
Laboratory Mold System
The laboratory mold system supports a variety of capsule sizes and shapes. Molds are easy to install, disassemble, and replace, allowing R&D teams to efficiently test different formulations, dosages, and capsule designs—greatly improving R&D efficiency and flexibility.
Rolling Die Encapsulation and Injection Area
The JL-75II adopts a rolling die softgel encapsulation mechanism, consistent with industrial softgel production equipment. Two gelatin ribbons run synchronously, while the filling material is accurately injected into the die cavities. This design ensures that the encapsulation process closely simulates industrial production, providing reliable, scalable reference data for seamless scale-up.
Laboratory Tumble Dryer
After encapsulation, softgel capsules are transferred to the matching laboratory tumble dryer for initial drying and shape setting. The controlled, gentle drying process is specifically designed for small-batch samples, effectively maintaining capsule integrity and preventing deformation—ensuring the quality of test samples.
PLC Touch Screen Operation Interface
The touch screen HMI (Human-Machine Interface) provides clear visualization of all key operating parameters, enabling intuitive operation. Process settings (such as temperature, speed, and injection volume) can be easily adjusted to meet different experimental requirements, significantly improving R&D efficiency and reducing operational complexity.
