SGJ-II, 38 Drying Tumblers for Soft Gel
AMERICA North (USA-Canada-Mexico)
Capacity: 45 Kg Volts: 480 Kw: 0.75 Speed: 29 r/min
General Information:
The drying process requires an environment
with low relative humidity in the air but not hot air.
This process is divided into two stages:
Tumble drying, and air drying.
These tumblers tumble the softgels around 30 to 40 minutes
and remove approximately 25 percent
of the water content in the softgel capsules.
Then softgel capsules are spread on stackable trays
and transferred to the drying room or tunnel where
high air flow exists and they stay around 24 to 48 hours
or until the softgels become hard enough.
This process is called natural manual drying.
Fluid Bed Drying can be used for shape forming
and final drying of soft gel capsules.
The tumbler quantity can be chosen as the production requirement.
Each tumbler can rotate in both directors.
The tumbler can be controlled automatically by a PLC system
with an encapsulation machine when connected
to the master station during the forming process or controlled
manually during the pre-drying process.
Water content in the gelatin film can be reduced from 45%
to 35% during the forming process,
and it can be decreased to around 25% in the pre-drying process.
Dry mode: Fluid Bed, the system can blow the capsule to fluidized,
which minimizes the friction between the capsules
and the inner surface of the tumbler. Increase much effectively of drying
