The Integrated Mobile Gelatin Melting Tank represents a significant innovation in gelatin preparation technology, specifically tailored to enhance the workflow and efficiency of softgel production lines. Designed by Tianrui after thorough analysis of manufacturers’ practical requirements, this unit consolidates multiple systems into a single, portable platform, thereby optimizing the pre-encapsulation phase for any softgel encapsulation machine.

Core Design & Integration with Softgel Manufacturing

This mobile melter is engineered as a complete, miniaturized gelatin preparation system. Its primary advantage lies in its seamless integration into existing softgel making processes. By combining the vacuum defoaming system directly within the mobile tank, it eliminates the need for separate, stationary equipment and reduces potential contamination or heat loss during gelatin transfer to the softgel machine. This design is particularly beneficial for R&D laboratories, pilot plants, or small-scale production where space is limited and flexibility is paramount.

Key Components & Functional Advantages

1.  Tank Body & Heating System: Constructed from high-quality stainless steel in a triple-layer, water-jacketed structure, it ensures rapid and uniform heat distribution. The bottom-side discharge and bottom-mounted temperature probe guarantee accurate temperature control, which is critical for maintaining gelatin viscosity optimal for the softgel encapsulation process.
2.  Stirring and Hydraulic System: The agitator ensures homogeneous melting, while the pneumatic lifting mechanism allows for easy cleaning and maintenance. This consistent mixing is vital for preparing flawless gelatin mass for any softgel production machine.
3.  Integrated Vacuum System: This built-in system efficiently removes air bubbles from the molten gelatin. Delivering bubble-free gel to the softgel machine is essential for producing high-quality, defect-free softgel capsules, improving the overall yield and reliability of the softgel manufacturing line.
4.  Mobility & Operational Efficiency: Equipped with robust polyurethane swivel casters and a compact footprint, the tank can be effortlessly moved. Once the gelatin is prepared, the entire unit can be rolled directly to the softgel machine room and connected immediately. This mobility drastically reduces labor intensity, minimizes gelatin waste during transfer, and ensures the gelatin is used at its ideal temperature and consistency, directly enhancing the performance of the softgel encapsulation equipment.

Application Versatility

The JL-BW Series Portable Gelatin Melting Tank is exceptionally versatile. It is the ideal gelatin holding or service tank for small to medium batch production. It supports not only traditional animal gelatin but also plant-based alternatives like tapioca or carrageenan starch, catering to the evolving needs of modern softgel supplement production. Its design makes it a perfect match for laboratory softgel machines and small-output softgel machines, acting as a flexible and efficient link between gelatin preparation and the final softgel die encapsulation stage.

In summary, this Integrated Mobile Gelatin Melting Tank streamlines the initial, critical stage of softgel capsule manufacture. By providing a portable, self-contained melting and defoaming solution, it ensures that the softgel machine receives a consistent, high-quality gelatin supply, thereby enhancing overall production efficiency, reducing waste, and offering unparalleled flexibility for modern softgel production facilities.
