Double Layer Softgel Dehumidifying Tumble Dryer
- JLGZ Intelligent Tumble Dryer represents a technological breakthrough in softgel drying systems. Unlike traditional drying methods, this innovative closed-loop system incorporates a built-in dehumidifier, allowing softgel capsules to be dried automatically inside the rotating tumbler at room temperature.
- Equipped with precise temperature and humidity control within the drying baskets, the JLGZ intelligent dryer significantly reduces overall drying time while enhancing product quality. The gentle tumbling motion ensures uniform drying, resulting in softgel capsules with a more consistent and appealing appearance.
- This streamlined process enables the complete drying cycle to be carried out efficiently inside the rotating baskets, saving both time and energy while maintaining high product standards.
- Available in two configurations: JLGZ-100I (Single Layer) and JLGZ-70I (Double Deck).
JLGZ Intelligent Softgel Tumble Dryer: A Revolutionary Drying Solution
About Our Company
We are a leading manufacturer of pharmaceutical machinery, specializing in softgel encapsulation machines and softgel drying equipment. With 26 years of dedicated experience in producing tumble dryers, we have consistently developed highly competitive products generation after generation. Our production volume of drying tumbler systems ranks first in the industry, solidifying our position as a market leader.
Overcoming Traditional Drying Limitations
Traditional softgel drying systems often rely solely on fan-driven air, requiring extremely long setups—sometimes over 20 sections stretching more than 30 meters—to achieve the necessary dehumidification. These systems occupy significant floor space and are inefficient.

In response to these market demands, we have engineered the JLGZ Intelligent Softgel Tumble Dryer, a groundbreaking dehumidifying tumble dryer that integrates drying and dehumidification into a single, compact unit.
Key Advantages:
-
Significantly Saves Space: A drastic reduction in footprint compared to traditional multi-section dryers.
-
Powerful Dehumidification: Superior moisture removal capability for faster and more effective softgel drying.
-
Accelerated Drying Cycle: Greatly shortens the overall softgel drying process.
-
Ideal Upgrade: The perfect replacement for outdated equipment, enhancing efficiency and product quality.
Product Structure & Working Principle

Dehumidifier Unit Assembly
-
Drive Assembly
-
Refrigeration Unit
-

-
Casing and Covers
2. Dehumidification Working Principle:
The softgel drying process operates on a closed-loop principle for maximum efficiency:
-
Moisture Removal Cycle: Humid air from the tumble basket is drawn into the dehumidifier unit. Inside, a rotating desiccant wheel (composed of silica gel or molecular sieve) absorbs moisture. This wheel is continuously regenerated by a stream of hot air, which expels the captured moisture out of the facility. The now-dry air is then recirculated back into the tumble basket.
-
Optimized Airflow Cycle: The supply fan’s airflow is greater than the dehumidifier’s processing capacity. The differential is intelligently compensated by drawing in additional air from the room through a regulating valve, ensuring vigorous airflow that is crucial for efficient capsule drying.
-
Precise Temperature Control: The integrated refrigeration unit maintains the temperature within the tumble basket at the required set points by cooling the air before and after the dehumidification process.
Intelligent Drying Process: A 4-Stage Example (JLGZ-70 Model)
This intelligent drying system allows for precise control over temperature, humidity, and basket rotation speed at different stages.
| Stage | Primary Function | Duration | Moisture Reduction | Temperature | Basket Speed | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unit 1 | Setting & Initial Drying | 4 hours | ~40% to ~30% | 23°C | 15 rpm | Cools and sets the capsule shape without exposing new capsules to high heat. |
| Unit 2 | Moisture Evening & Rapid Drying | 4 hours | ~30% to ~20% | 25°C | 20 rpm | Evens out moisture content. Higher speed aids in rounding capsules and accelerating water evaporation. Strong dehumidification is applied. |
| Unit 3 | Accelerated Evaporation | 4 hours | ~20% to ~12% | 28°C | 20 rpm | With more uniform moisture, the temperature is raised to speed up evaporation without damaging the capsules. |
| Unit 4 | Final Drying | 4 hours | ~12% to ~8% | 25°C | 15 rpm | The final moisture reduction is achieved at a moderate temperature and slower speed to complete the softgel drying process. |
Conclusion
The JLGZ Intelligent Softgel Tumble Dryer represents the pinnacle of softgel drying technology. By integrating a powerful dehumidifier and offering unparalleled process control, it delivers superior drying results, a compact footprint, and significant time savings, making it the ultimate choice for modern softgel production lines.
