Choosing the Right Gelatin: A Guide to Gel Strength and Viscosity for Capsule Makers
For manufacturers dedicated to producing high-quality empty gelatin capsules, the selection of the right gelatin raw material is a critical decision. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we understand the intricate requirements of capsule production, and our expertise lies in providing gelatin that excels in key parameters such as gelatin gel strength and viscosity. These properties are fundamental to the successful and efficient manufacture of reliable capsules.
Gelatin gel strength, commonly measured by the Bloom test, is a direct indicator of the gelatin's gelling power. For capsule makers, a consistent and appropriate bloom strength ensures that the formed capsule shells possess the necessary rigidity and mechanical stability. Our range of gelatin, typically between 80-280 Bloom g, is carefully controlled to meet the diverse needs of the market. Whether you require a firmer capsule for specific active ingredients or a more flexible one, understanding and selecting the correct bloom strength is paramount.
Equally important is gelatin viscosity. This parameter governs the flow characteristics of the molten gelatin solution used in the dipping process. An optimal viscosity, such as the 1.0-6.0 mpa·s range we offer, ensures that the gelatin coats the capsule-making pins uniformly. This uniformity is key to achieving consistent capsule wall thickness, which directly impacts the capsule's integrity, dissolution rate, and overall performance. Inconsistent viscosity can lead to variations in capsule quality, posing challenges for manufacturers seeking predictable outcomes with their high-quality gelatin for empty capsules.
The interplay between gelatin viscosity and gel strength is what ultimately defines the quality of separable bulk gelatin capsule materials. By providing gelatin with precisely controlled specifications for both these parameters, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. empowers capsule manufacturers to optimize their production processes. This not only enhances operational efficiency but also guarantees the superior quality of the final product. When you choose to buy gelatin for capsule manufacturing from us, you are assured of a raw material that is tailored for excellence in every aspect.
