Hard transparent capsules wholesale

We have started to supply hard transparent capsules from 2006. As the gelatin manufacturer, the quality of hard gelatin capsules controlled by gelatin production is more guaranteed. At the same time, some manufacturers of capsules in India imported industrial gelatin with Chrome more than 100 ppm for making capsules.

We only supply pharmaceutical gelatin with Chrome less than 2ppm for capsule use due to our faith in high responsibility to end consumers. The resistance to our transparent capsule’s brittleness is better because we supplied gelatin with a special range of Iso-Electron points to produce transparent capsules.

Hard transparent capsules

What advantages of hard transparent capsules we wholesale?

The quality of our hard transparent capsule could be more guaranteed.

Why need to produce hard transparent capsules?

both cap and the body can be made in full transparent color. Or Cap is transparent. Due to the similar size and diameters, it is difficult to distinguish the cap and the container. Therefore, to ensure that the production is not prone to errors, we prefer to use different colors to distinguish two parts of different calibers to avoid errors in mass production. One side of the capsule shell is a transparent shell, which allows users to see whether the inside is granular or powder, which is convenient to use. In addition, the particles or powder inside some capsules will change when they deteriorate. The transparent side is convenient for users to observe and reduce the risk.
Another reason is to cover up its unsightly appearance and make it easier for people to accept from the senses. Especially for children, colored capsules make them less scared.

Main ingredient in hard transparent capsules?

The main ingredient of our hard clear capsules is gelatin. It is a harmless, inexpensive, edible, degradable protein product that is easy to store and use. They are all approved additives for food and medicine. Moreover, the daily acceptable intake of gelatin and titanium dioxide is not limited. No obvious harm has been found when gelatin is used in pets such as cats and dogs. Because of these properties, gelatin has dominated capsule production for 100 years.

Types of gelatin we used in hard transparent capsules

For hard clear capsules, the types of gelatin used in capsule includes beef bone gelatin, beef Skin gelatin, pig skin gelatin, fish gelatin .There are many slight differences among them. The key factors of gelatin for transparent capsule use are transmission, jelly strength and viscosity.

Regarding transmission of gelatin for transparent capsle, the data of transmission of our gelatin is always more than 90% under wave of 620nm. A case in point the picture below is the gelatin jelly with water. The left one is the highest transparent we used for making transparent capsule. The right one have common transparent. it is used for colorful capsule due to no needing for transparency.

Regarding jelly strength for hard clear capsule, the bloom No of gelatin is always 220-240 bloom.
Some manufacture used to try using another supplier’s 240bloom gelatin to make capsule, but found high rate of bad capsule. Then this matter was improved after using our supplied gelatin of 240bloom. The stability of our gelatin is higher a lot. Its jelly strength could be not reduced during process of production for capsule.

Regarding viscosity of gelatin for transparent capsule, it must be in the range of 4.8-6.5mPa.s.
Such a high viscosity need to be reached by the process of lime treatment for production of gelatin. Some manufacturers used to try with the pure Skin gelatin produced under process of Acid treatment, but we never use it because we have known well that viscosity of gelatin under Acid treatment is always in the range of 2.5mpa.s-3.5mpa.s. It is too low to be workable for producing hard capsule.
In order to reduce frangibility, mixture of alkaline bone gelatin and acid skin gelatin could be used. The Iso-Electron Point of gelatin is always controlled in the range of 5.2-6.0.

The Production process of hard transparent capsule

The preparation method of the transparent hollow capsule includes the following steps: raw material inspection, animal gelatin feeding, gelatin forming, cutting and fitting, light inspection, re-inspection, printing, printing light inspection, re-inspection, re-inspection, finished product and storage.

mixing the ingredients before making the transparent hollow capsule.

The raw materials of the hollow capsules include pure gelatin and titanium dioxide paste.
The clear capsule ingredient process includes the following steps:
S1, preparation of dissolving gelatin and titanium dioxide paste. The temperature of the pure gelatin is 50- 55℃, the viscosity of the pure gelatin solution is 4.8-6.5 mpa.s;

S2, the pure gelatin solution is placed in the capsule batching device, and titanium dioxide paste is added;

S3, the capsule batching device is activated, and the capsule batching device drives the raw materials Rotate continuously in the same direction, the capsule batching device stirs the raw materials, the stirring rate is 600-700r/min, the stirring time is 10-15min, and then at a temperature of 50-55℃, let it stand for 2-3h, and continue to stir 3-5min, sealed, under the condition of pressure (-0.8)-(-0.85)Bar, let stand for 8-13min, unsealed, stand for 20-30min, and then at a cooling rate of 15-20℃/h, Cool down to room temperature to complete the ingredients of the clear capsule.

How to protect quality transparent capsule with standard package,

Packaging, transportation, storage and filling of Huaxuan hard transparent capsules

Package
Empty capsules are packed in food-grade antistatic plastic bags.
Then put these plastic bags into heavy-duty corrugated boxes.
Then seal the box with BOPP tapping from the top and bottom.
Finally, put the label on the cartons. the cartons have relevant information such as size, color, batch number, box number, and quantity.

Transportation
hard gelatin capsules in the box are transported by refrigerated container vehicles under conditions.
The temperature is maintained between 10°C and 30°C, and Rh is maintained between 40% and 65%.
All special vehicles used for capsule transportation are equipped with temperature data loggers to ensure that the temperature during transportation is within the specified range.

Warehousing/storage
When not in use, hard transparent capsules should be stored in unopened packaging
The temperature and Rh during storage should be between 20°C to 35°C and 40% to 65%.

During passed 16 years we have received many good comments from oversea buyers who imported our transparent capsule. A case in point, “quality is very good” was mentioned by buyer. Screen cut for buyer’s message below could prove this matter.
More proof could be provided when buyers need.
