The Production Process of Softgel Capsules
In 1833, two French pharmaceutical manufacturers, Dublanc and Mothes, first patented the use of softgels. Today, the traditional method of manufacturing softgels consists of the following steps (pictured above): gelatin preparation, liquid preparation, capsule encapsulation, drying and finishing (screening, polishing, imprinting).
CELINE PHARMA can provide customized configurations, or turnkey projects, depending on the user's product, process, and plant layout.

Ever wondered how softgel capsules are made? Here’s a quick breakdown of the production process! 💊✨
1️⃣ Formulation: Active ingredients are mixed with oils or liquids to create a homogenous fill material.
2️⃣ Gelatin Preparation: Gelatin (or plant-based alternatives) is melted with water and plasticizers to form the outer shell.
3️⃣ Encapsulation: The liquid fill is precisely injected into the gelatin shell using a rotary die machine, sealing the capsule instantly.
4️⃣ Drying: Freshly made softgels are dried in controlled conditions to remove excess moisture and ensure stability.
5️⃣ Inspection & Polishing: Each capsule is checked for defects, then polished for a smooth, shiny finish.
6️⃣ Packaging: Finally, softgels are packed into bottles, blisters, or bulk containers, ready for use!
Softgels are popular for their easy swallowing, precise dosing, and improved bioavailability. 🌟
