Capsugel manufacturing operations rely on sophisticated, and often automated, monitoring systems to achieve high levels of liquid gelatin consistency. The primary raw material, gelatin, is commonly used in a number of food-grade applications. However, for proper capsule formation, only pharmaceutical-grade gelatin is utilized in Capsugel brand capsules, enabling Capsugel capsules to meet all worldwide Pharmacopoeia standards. (see also Regulatory Information & Certifications)

The formation of the capsule shape itself utilizes a precision-machined set of molds, to which the liquid gelatin adheres, forming both the cap and body sections. High-speed machinery, custom-designed by Capsugel, assure that the gelatin shell layers are removed cleanly from the molds and then joined, printed, and packed under stringent manufacturing controls.

The result of our attention to detail is the consistency that is the hallmark of Capsugel brand products.
