The HJG-III Waterbath Gelatin Dissolving Unit is a pivotal piece of dedicated equipment for gelatin preparation—the core pre-production step of soft capsule manufacturing. It is engineered to create a stable, temperature-controlled, and contamination-free environment for dissolving gelatin raw materials, directly determining the viscosity, uniformity, and quality of the gelatin solution used for soft capsule shell formation. As an essential upstream device in soft capsule production lines, it is optimized for seamless integration with subsequent molding and drying equipment, meeting the continuous production demands of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries.
This waterbath gelatin dissolving unit adopts a heavy-duty structural design with food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade material selection throughout all contact parts, complying with international production standards for edible and medicinal products. Its integrated power and control system ensures low-noise, long-duration operation, while the adjustable structural dimensions make it adaptable to small, medium, and large-scale production sites, eliminating the hassle of on-site layout modification for enterprises.

The equipment is equipped with an X series cycloid pin wheel reducer as the core power component, featuring strong load-bearing capacity, stable transmission, and low mechanical wear. It supports 24/7 continuous operation without frequent maintenance, effectively improving the overall production efficiency of the soft capsule production line and reducing downtime losses for enterprises.
A complete suite of professional detection instruments—including vacuum gauges, pressure gauges, and high-precision temperature gauges—is integrated into the gelatin dissolving tank, enabling real-time, accurate monitoring of all internal process parameters. Operators can adjust heating temperature, stirring speed, and vacuum degree in real time based on instrument data, ensuring consistent gelatin solution quality for every production batch.
All sealing parts use edible non-toxic rubber rings that avoid any chemical contamination of gelatin raw materials, fully meeting food and pharmaceutical production hygiene requirements. The discharge port is fitted with a Dg38 special stainless steel heat preservation ball valve, which maintains the temperature of the dissolved gelatin solution during discharge and prevents premature solidification, ensuring smooth material transfer to the next production link.
The height from the support foot seat to the discharge valve port is graded and adjustable according to the equipment’s capacity specification: 600mm for the 300L model and 750mm for the 400L-1000L models. This customized structural design allows the unit to perfectly match the layout of different soft capsule production lines, realizing flexible on-site installation and integration.
The HJG-III Waterbath Gelatin Dissolving Unit is exclusively used for the gelatin raw material dissolving and homogenization link in soft capsule production, a non-substitutable upstream process for all soft capsule manufacturing.
It is widely applied in pharmaceutical factories (medicinal soft capsules), health product enterprises (nutrient and dietary supplement soft capsules), and cosmetic manufacturers (skin care and beauty soft capsules). The unit can handle all common gelatin raw materials, including bovine bone gelatin, pigskin gelatin, and fish gelatin, and can be adjusted to meet the specific viscosity and concentration requirements of different soft capsule products.

Yes, the 300L small-capacity model is specially designed for small and medium-sized enterprises, R&D institutions, and laboratory teams, which can meet the needs of small-batch production and formula research of soft capsules, and the process parameters can be precisely adjusted for experimental optimization.
The replacement cycle of the edible non-toxic rubber ring is usually 6-12 months, which is related to the daily use frequency and regular cleaning and maintenance of the equipment. Our after-sales team will regularly remind you of maintenance and replacement time and provide professional replacement guidance.
