Lecithin Softgel Leakage Issue
Lecithin Softgel used to be a difficult dosage to make. With years of practice, now it becomes mature and easy to encapsulating. If the manufacturer has lecithin softgel leakages, they can have a general check upon below points.
1. Is the raw material/recipe of lecithin right? Mainly gelatin powder, glycerin and water. To make lecithin softgel, glycerin content tends to be more than other dosages.
2. Is the fluidity of gelatin solution good? Always check the gelatin viscosity after melting.
3. Wedge and die rollers issues. Whether there is damage or not; absolutely symmetric adjustment; wedge temperature setting. Gelatin ribbon touches wedge evenly and naturally at both sides.
4. Is medicine injection timing good? The injection timing for bottom shooting and side shooting die rolls differ. It results in leakage directly. So is important.
5. The quality of gelatin powder considering the bloom, new powder or recycled, fluidity and viscosity.
Each softgel manufacturer faces different issues during encapsulating, but the checkpoints and way of thinking should be more or less the same. Above are most basic points to check. Should you face the softgel leaking problem, feel free to contact JS for solution!
