All-Heating Gelatin Service(Holding) Tank for Softgel Production

Overview
The All-Heating gelatin service(holding) tank is a state-of-the-art, temperature-controlled storage solution specifically engineered to enhance the efficiency and quality of softgel manufacturing. Designed and developed in-house, this water-jacketed gelatin service(holding) tank meets the stringent thermal management demands of gelatin preparation and storage within softgel production lines. Its robust construction, advanced heating technology, and user-centric features make it an essential auxiliary device for any softgel machine setup. It demonstrates exceptional performance in the production of plant-based vegetarian softgels, where maintaining the exact viscosity and stability of the gel mass is critical for successful encapsulation.

Key Features & Technical Advantages

1. Three-Layer Structure & Pressure Resistance

• The tank is built with a durable three-layer design, providing structural integrity and effective thermal insulation.
• Capable of withstanding certain positive internal pressures, ensuring safe operation during various stages of gelatin or solution handling.

2. Uniform Heating System

• Water-Jacketed Tank Body:The main tank employs a water bath heating method, enabling consistent and gentle heat transfer across the entire container. This prevents localized overheating or cooling, which is critical for maintaining gelatin viscosity and homogeneity.
• Heated Tank Lid:The lid is equipped with a full-coverage fiber heating element, eliminating any cold spots and preventing the formation of condensation. This design effectively avoids condensate dripping back into the gelatin, thereby preserving solution concentration and quality—a common challenge in softgel machine processes. This is paramount for vegetarian gels, which are often more sensitive to temperature fluctuations and moisture ingress.

3. Precision Temperature Control

• Integrated automatic temperature control system with a digital display allows operators to set and maintain desired temperatures with high accuracy.
• Ensures constant temperature (±1°C) for gel mass storage, directly supporting stable gelatin melting, conditioning, and feeding to the softgel encapsulation machine. This precise control is vital for plant-based formulations that may have a narrower optimal temperature range compared to animal-derived gelatin to prevent premature gelation or thinning.

4. Hygienic & Durable Design

• Entirely constructed from high-grade stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.
• IP-Rated Waterproof Control Box:The electrical enclosure is designed to withstand washing, protecting components and extending service life in humid production environments.
• Smooth, polished interior surfaces minimize gel adherence and facilitate quick cleanup between batches, supporting strict hygiene protocols.

5. Operational Flexibility & Convenience

• Quick-Disassembly Design:The upper head and tank body feature a detachable, fast-lock mechanism, allowing rapid disassembly for thorough cleaning, inspection, or maintenance.
• Mobility:Mounted on polyurethane swivel casters with locking brakes, the tank can be easily moved and positioned within the production area, offering flexibility in layout near the softgel machine or gel preparation station.
• Comprehensive Functional Ports:Includes all necessary inlets, outlets, and access ports for seamless integration into existing gel handling systems, such as connections to gel melters, pumps, or dosing units.

6. Safety & Reliability

• Built with safety in mind: insulated surfaces, secure electrical fittings, and stable construction.
• Reliable performance ensures uninterrupted supply of temperature-controlled gel mass to the softgel machine, reducing downtime and enhancing production consistency.

Application in Softgel Manufacturing
This tank is ideally used for:

• Storing and maintaining gelatin mass at optimal temperature before feeding into the softgel encapsulation machine.
• Especially critical for holding plant-based vegetarian gel mass, which requires heightened temperature sensitivity and stability to ensure proper ribbon formation, encapsulation, and seam welding in the softgel machine.
• Holding other temperature-sensitive solutions or coatings in softgel production.
• Serving as a buffer tank between gel preparation systems and the softgel machine, ensuring a continuous, temperature-stable material supply.

Conclusion
The All-Heating gelatin service(holding) tank represents a significant advancement in auxiliary equipment for softgel production. By addressing critical issues such as temperature uniformity, condensation control, and operational hygiene, it directly contributes to higher product quality, reduced waste, and improved efficiency in softgel manufacturing lines. Its robust, user-friendly design makes it a reliable and indispensable component alongside your softgel machine. For manufacturers specializing in plant-based vegetarian softgels, this tank provides the precise thermal management necessary to handle the unique challenges of vegetarian gel formulations, ensuring smooth processing from preparation through encapsulation.
