The Gelatin Melting Tank is core front-end equipment in the automatic production line for empty hard capsules. It is specially designed for melting, mixing, heating, heat preservation, and defoaming of gelatin or plant-based capsule materials, providing stable and high quality glue solution for capsule forming.
Gelatin Melting Tank Key Advantages
Precise temperature control ensures even heating and stable viscosity of the gelatin solution.
Stable stirring system achieves uniform mixing without agglomeration or bubbles.
Food-grade stainless steel structure is hygienic, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean.
Integrated heat preservation design reduces energy consumption and improves production efficiency.
Safe and reliable operation supports long-term stable running for industrial production.
Role in Empty Capsule Production
In the hollow capsule manufacturing process, the Gelatin Melting Tank is responsible for preparing qualified gelatin solution. The quality of the melted glue directly affects the forming, appearance, thickness, and strength of capsules. By providing stable, uniform, and bubble free glue solution, this equipment lays a solid foundation for dipping, molding, and subsequent processes, ensuring high yield and consistent quality of finished empty capsules
