Grand Machinery offers complete Softgel Capsule Production Line solutions for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and cosmetic manufacturers. From gelatin preparation and softgel encapsulation to drying, inspection, polishing, and automated packaging, our equipment works together to provide an efficient and reliable solution for large-scale softgel capsule production.
A complete Softgel Capsule Production Line consists of multiple machines working together to transform raw materials into finished, packaged softgel capsules. Grand Machinery provides core encapsulation equipment as well as drying and supporting machines to meet different production requirements.
The softgel encapsulation machine is the core of the Softgel Capsule Production Line. It forms gelatin ribbons, accurately injects filling material, and simultaneously shapes, seals, and cuts softgel capsules. The machine is designed for stable operation and consistent capsule size, shape, and filling weight.
The high-efficiency RJWJ115 softgel encapsulation machine boasts a maximum output of 26,460 capsules per hour. Built to high-quality standards, it utilizes core electrical components from Siemens and Schneider to ensure stable, 24-hour operation. Customization is available, and we offer direct factory pricing; inquiries are welcome.
The RJWJ-200 softgel encapsulation machine is a high-output soft gelatin capsule production line built for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and health supplement manufacturers seeking maximum efficiency. With a production capacity of up to 86,580 capsules per hour (Oval 4#), it delivers industry-leading output while maintaining precise ±2% content uniformity through its 12-pillar dosing system and VFD stepless die-roll speed control (0–5 rpm). The machine features a 7.5 KW main motor, compact footprint (2100×1100×1800mm), and robust 1640 kg construction for long-term stability. Supporting Oval, Oblong and Round capsule shapes across 4#, 8# and 20# sizes, the RJWJ-200 offers flexible, reliable and cost-effective soft capsule manufacturing — an ideal factory-direct investment for high-volume production.
The RJWJ120 softgel encapsulation machine delivers high production capacity of up to 370 million capsules annually (Model 200C, No. 8 oval capsule), powered by an advanced linear-drive injection system with ±2% filling accuracy and a capsule yield exceeding 98%. An advanced water-cooling system prevents airborne contamination, while micro-lubrication technology and food-grade vegetable oil significantly reduce oil consumption — eliminating the need for capsule washing when no printing is applied. Equipped with FDA-approved food-grade conveyor belts (non-toxic, non-stick, easy to clean), aerospace-grade alloy molds with high-precision CNC machining, and automated gelatin & material supply systems, it ensures stable performance, consistent capsule quality, and full GMP compliance. Built with non-toxic, particle-free contact parts, the RJWJ-120 is safe, operator-friendly, and easy to maintain — an ideal soft capsule production line for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers.
The RJWJ-300 softgel encapsulation machine is the flagship high-capacity soft gelatin capsule production line for large-scale pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and health supplement manufacturers. Delivering an industry-leading 166,320 capsules per hour (Oval 4#) — up to 6× the output of standard machines — it is engineered for maximum production efficiency. Featuring 24 precision dosing pillars with ±2% content uniformity, VFD stepless die-roll speed control (0–5 rpm) and a 0.75–2 ml injection volume, the RJWJ-300 ensures consistent capsule weight and quality across Oval, Oblong and Round shapes in 4#, 8# and 20# sizes. Built with an 11.5 KW main motor and robust 2165 kg construction, it delivers stable, long-term operation for demanding production schedules — a reliable, factory-direct investment for high-volume soft capsule manufacturing.
The tumble dryer is used for the initial drying of freshly encapsulated softgel capsules. Continuous tumbling and controlled airflow help remove surface moisture, reduce capsule sticking, and maintain the proper shape of softgel capsules before final drying.
ZL200S double-layer intelligent tumbler dryer is a drying equipment for round particles such as soft capsules. It is a priority choice for the drying section of the intelligent automatic production line for soft capsules.
The Single Layer Tumble Dryer is a high-efficiency softgel capsule drying solution engineered for seamless integration into pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production lines. Constructed from perforated stainless steel panels, the rotating drum features multiple sections arranged in pairs, each equipped with an independent drive system capable of bidirectional rotation—clockwise for optimal drying and counter-clockwise for efficient discharging. Designed for tool-free maintenance and easy disassembly, this tumble dryer significantly reduces operator workload and downtime. Any individual section can be removed or replaced without disrupting normal operation, ensuring continuous production and maximum uptime. Ideal for GMP-compliant facilities requiring reliable, low-maintenance capsule drying equipment.
Softgel Auxiliary Equipment completes the softgel manufacturing process, including drying, inspection, sorting, polishing, conveying, and other capsule handling operations. Grand Machinery can combine different machines into a customized Softgel Capsule Production Line according to production capacity and factory requirements.
The Mixing Tank is a versatile stainless steel mixing vessel designed for liquid mixing, solid-liquid dissolution, blending, reaction, emulsification, heating, cooling, and storage. Available in 304 or 316L stainless steel, it features efficient agitation, precise temperature control, sanitary construction, and optional vacuum or automated PLC control. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, food, personal care, fine chemical, and industrial processing applications.
The Gelatin Melt Tank is a jacketed stainless steel tank designed for melting and heating gelatin and other materials used in softgel capsule manufacturing. Its controlled heating and low-speed agitation system helps maintain uniform temperature and smooth material consistency for efficient softgel production.
The Dosage Tank is a stainless steel mixing tank designed for preparing and uniformly blending gelatin solutions and other softgel fill materials. With a jacketed temperature control system and efficient agitator, it ensures consistent mixing, precise temperature control, and reliable material preparation for softgel capsule production.

The Softgel Capsule Production Line combines several production stages to transform gelatin and fill materials into finished softgel capsules.
Gelatin, purified water, plasticizers, and other ingredients are mixed and heated to prepare the gelatin mass. Proper temperature, viscosity, and mixing conditions help create a uniform material for gelatin ribbon production.
The active ingredients, oils, suspensions, or other fill materials are prepared according to the product formulation. The filling material is mixed to achieve the required uniformity and viscosity for accurate dosing.
The gelatin ribbons enter the encapsulation machine from both sides. The filling material is accurately injected between the ribbons while the machine forms, seals, and cuts the softgel capsules into the required shape and size.
Freshly formed softgel capsules contain excess moisture and require initial drying. Tumble dryers continuously move the capsules while circulating air to remove surface moisture and reduce sticking.
The softgel capsules are transferred to drying trays or controlled drying areas for further moisture removal. Controlled temperature, humidity, and airflow help achieve the desired moisture content, texture, and stability.
After drying, softgel capsules are inspected and sorted to remove defective products. Capsules with leakage, deformation, improper sealing, or other visible defects can be separated from qualified products.
Qualified softgel capsules are polished to remove surface residues and improve their appearance. They can then enter counting, bottling, blister packaging, labeling, or other automated packaging processes.
