A Complete Guide For Encapsulation Issues Caused By Sticky Formulations

Capsule filling can be a complex process, especially when dealing with sticky formulations. These sticky formulations often lead to various issues, such as inconsistent capsule weights, splits, non-separation, and even machine crashes. This e-book is designed to help you navigate these challenges. It provides a systematic approach to troubleshooting, starting with simple solutions like controlling humidity and temperature, and advancing to more complex methods such as upgrading cleaning stations and using specialized coatings.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to sticky formulations. Instead, this guide offers a combination of strategies tailored to your specific circumstances. You'll learn how to minimize friction, ensure proper slug formation and transfer, and adjust machine settings to reduce stickiness. Additionally, it offers insights into advanced techniques like using lubricious plastic parts and testing new coatings.

With these best practices, you can enhance your encapsulation processes, reduce downtime, and achieve consistent, high-quality results.
