JANGLI JL-100II Pilot-Scale Softgel Encapsulation Machine: The Compact R&D and Small-Batch Production Solution

Overview
The JANGLI JL-100II represents a sophisticated yet accessible entry into pilot-scale softgel manufacturing. Designed expressly for Research & Development laboratories, pilot plants, and small-scale production runs, this machine prioritizes flexibility, material efficiency, and user-friendly operation. It enables manufacturers to develop new formulations, conduct trials with minimal active ingredient waste, and produce small commercial batches with remarkable ease.

Core Design Philosophy & Advantages

• R&D-Focused Efficiency:The primary design goal is to minimize raw material loss during development and testing. This makes it economically viable to experiment with expensive or scarce compounds.
• Small Batch, High Variety:Perfect for producing limited quantities of multiple formulations, allowing for rapid prototyping and market testing.
• Space-Optimized Footprint:Its compact structure requires minimal floor space, fitting seamlessly into lab or small production environments.

Key Features & Technological Highlights

1. Innovative “In-Line” Gelatin Ribbon System:
   Built upon a robust vertical foundation, the JL-100II features a unique “in-line” design casting drum. This engineering advancement guides the gelatin ribbon directly to the oil roller and die roller in a straight path, eliminating the twist common in other designs. This results in more consistent ribbon formation, reduced stress on the gelatin film, and enhanced encapsulation reliability.
2. Advanced Control & Automation:
   The machine is governed by a Siemens Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), ensuring industrial-grade reliability and precision. All operational parameters—including speeds of the drum, die roller, and pump, as well as critical temperatures for the gelatin melter and spreader box—are intuitively managed and adjusted via a centralized touch screen interface. This simplifies process setup, repeatability, and monitoring.
3. Precision Dosing System:
   Equipped with a 6-plunger medicine filling pump, the JL-100II ensures accurate and volumetric filling of a wide range of liquid or semi-solid contents, from oils to suspensions, with excellent dose uniformity.
4. Hygienic Construction & Compliance:

Materials: All external covers are constructed from easy-to-clean Stainless Steel 304. All parts contacting the product (gelatin and fill material) are made from superior Stainless Steel 316L, offering excellent corrosion resistance and sanitary properties.

Standards: The machine is manufactured and designed to meet GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and FDA compliance standards, ensuring it is suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and high-end cosmetic applications.

5. User-Centric Operation:
   The combination of the PLC control system, logical mechanical layout, and clear interface makes the machine exceptionally easy to operate, maintain, and clean. Changeover between products is streamlined.
