II. Core Technical Advantages of JL-150III Soft Capsule Machine for Small and Medium Enterprises

1. Servo Drive + Intelligent Central Control: Solid Foundation for Precision
The machine is equipped with a high-performance servo motor drive system (a system that uses precision motors to control mechanical operation, with faster response and higher stability than traditional variable frequency drives) and an industrial-grade PLC touch control system (an industrial touchscreen operation platform, intuitive and easy to use, no professional programming skills required). It enables digital precision control throughout the production process. Compared with traditional variable frequency drive solutions, this system has a 30% faster response speed and a rotational speed control accuracy of ±0.1RPM, ensuring production stability from the source and significantly reducing product defect rates caused by mechanical fluctuations.

2. Three-Dimensional Automatic Adjustment: Ensuring Standardized Output
Addressing the product consistency concern of SMEs, the machine integrates three core automatic adjustment functions. The Die Roll uses a servo fine-tuning mechanism to real-time calibrate the engagement precision, effectively avoiding common defects such as glue overflow and corner defects; the injection time and filling volume realize dual-parameter automatic adjustment, with 8 plungers operating in coordination to maintain a stable filling accuracy of ±0.5% and ensure uniform dosage per capsule; the thickness of the gelatin tape can be adaptively adjusted according to capsule specifications, accurately matching the 0.3-0.8mm film thickness required for common specifications such as 8# Oval and 20# Oblong, reducing manual debugging costs.

3. Flexible Capacity Adaptation: Balancing Mass Production and Trial Production
The machine supports stepless speed adjustment from 0-6RPM, and can achieve high-efficiency output at a conventional operating speed of 5RPM — the capacity reaches 56,700 capsules per hour for 8# Oval (500mg) and 27,540 capsules per hour for 20# Oblong (1000mg), which is highly matched with the daily capacity needs of SMEs. It also supports quick switching between small-batch trial production and large-batch mass production, with Die Roll change time controlled within 30 minutes, providing strong support for enterprises' new product R&D and flexible capacity adjustment.

4. Full-Process Compliance Design: Opening the Door to High-End Markets
The machine strictly complies with dual international standards of GMP and FDA in terms of material selection and process design. All parts in contact with materials are made of 316L food-grade stainless steel, with a surface roughness controlled at Ra≤0.8μm, featuring easy cleaning and no residue; production data is recorded in real-time and traceable, and it is equipped with an independent CIP (Clean-in-Place, an online cleaning technology that allows internal cleaning without disassembling the equipment) online cleaning interface, fully meeting the strict requirements of pharmaceutical-grade production and helping enterprises break through the access barriers of high-end markets at home and abroad.

IV. Full-Process Application in Production Lines: Core Linkage Empowering Efficient Production

As the core hub of the production line, the JL-150III soft capsule machine connects the entire chain of "Raw Material Preparation - Capsule Forming - Processing & Drying - Finished Product Packaging". Through seamless collaboration of various links and in-depth integration with core technical advantages, it maximizes production efficiency. The specific process is as follows:

1. Raw Material Preparation and Feeding: Stable Input Laying the Foundation for Quality

Raw material pretreatment is the primary link to ensure product quality, mainly completed through the standard stainless steel sealed dissolving tank. Operators accurately weigh colloids and purified water according to the formula and put them into the tank, then stir at a constant speed for 1-2 hours in a constant temperature environment of 60-70℃ to form a uniformly viscous colloid solution. The dissolved colloid is transported to the main machine through insulated pipelines wrapped with heating tapes, and the pipeline temperature is stably maintained at 55-65℃ by linking with the main machine's temperature control system. This linkage, combined with the servo drive's precise conveying control, avoids viscosity changes caused by temperature fluctuations and provides stable raw material support for the subsequent forming process.

2. Capsule Forming: Precise Implementation of Core Machine Processes

Capsule forming, the core function of the machine, is achieved via the coordinated operation of three key systems. Upon entering the main unit, the colloid is uniformly coated onto the Die Roll surface through the coating system; 15-20℃ cooling water is circulated through the roller to enable rapid solidification, forming a uniform gelatin tape. The servo motor drives the dual Die Rolls for precise engagement (relying on the three-dimensional automatic adjustment function to real-time calibrate engagement precision), synchronously completing capsule shell formation and material filling via the 8-plunger system. A built-in cemented carbide cutter performs capsule cutting and separation as the roller rotates, and with the Die Roll's real-time alignment and calibration capability, the finished product qualification rate is stably maintained at over 99.5%.

3. Processing & Drying: Precise Humidity Control Ensuring Stability

Newly formed soft capsules have high moisture content and poor physical stability, requiring precise drying treatment to improve quality. They are first sent to a large mesh drum dryer and tumbled for 1-2 hours in an environment with a temperature of 25-30℃ and humidity of 35-45% to complete the initial removal of surface moisture; then transferred to the drying rack in the constant temperature and humidity room for 8-12 hours of standing to realize uniform diffusion and volatilization of internal moisture. Finally, the moisture content is controlled at 4-7% for gelatin capsules and 5-9% for plant-based capsules. After drying, the capsules undergo preliminary screening by a vibrating sieve and manual sampling inspection to remove unqualified products with irregular shapes and dosage deviations, ensuring the stability of finished products.

4. Finished Product Packaging (Optional with Matching Solutions)

As the terminal link of the production line, finished product packaging supports flexible configuration to meet SMEs' "one-stop" needs, with core matching solutions as follows:

• Adaptable Equipment Types: Three mainstream options are available — ① Small desktop bottle packing machine (for small batches, including bottle sorting, counting and capping); ② Medium vertical bottle packing line (for large batches, supporting 24-hour continuous operation); ③ Aluminum-plastic blister packing machine (for blister packaging needs).

• Scenario-Based Recommendations: For small-batch production (daily output ≤50,000 capsules), choose "main machine + small bottle packing machine" to control costs; for large-batch production (daily output ≥200,000 capsules), match "vertical bottle packing line/blister machine" to improve efficiency; for enterprises with both trial and mass production needs, select a modular base that can be upgraded later.

• Linkage Advantages with Main Machine: Exclusive interfaces realize three-linkage — speed matching to prevent accumulation, data synchronization for traceability, and unified operation via main machine, adapting to the "one-person multi-machine" mode.

V. Comprehensive Value: The Optimal Solution for SME Standardized Production

For SMEs, the core value of JL-150III lies in matching the production needs of the entire development cycle, with three key advantages:

• Efficiency & Quality Upgrade: Servo drive and intelligent adjustment technology reduce labor costs by 40% and increase qualification rate from traditional 95% to over 99.5%.

• Full-Stage Adaptability: 0-6RPM stepless speed regulation + 30-minute quick die roll change adapt to trial and mass production; modular design with reserved upgrade interfaces meets capacity expansion needs.
