Pharmaceutical Soft Gelatin Capsule Production Systems
Rotary Die Technology, Liquid & Paste Filling Solutions, Global Validation Support.
GMP softgel encapsulation machine rotary die.
LOCUS ROBOTICS delivers turnkey softgel encapsulation lines featuring rotary die technology for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical applications. Our systems automate:
Gelatin Ribbon Formation
Precision Volumitive Dosing of liquids/pastes
Sealing & Cutting with temperature-controlled dies
Post-Processing: Drying, inspection, bulk packaging
LOCUS ROBOTICS delivers turnkey softgel encapsulation solutions — from equipment supply and FAT/SAT testing to IQ/OQ/PQ validation and commissioning. While softgel production is less established in Russia than hard capsules, our automated systems enable precision manufacturing of nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals globally.
