Formulation Flexibility

Flexible Softgel Formats & Formulation Capability

Coordinate shell selection, fill characteristics and finishing requirements within one practical softgel program.

Plant-based and traditional softgel capsule manufacturing

Plant-Based & Traditional Options

Plant-based and traditional gelatin softgels, including carrageenan-free options.

Laboratory equipment for complex softgel fill formulation development

Complex Fill Formulations

The ability to handle complex paste formulations, oils, blends and suspensions.

In-house enteric coating machine for softgel capsules

In-House Enteric Coating

In-house enteric coating provides additional flexibility.

100% Optical Inspection

Every capsule is optically inspected for colour, area, width, length and shape before packaging.

Trial & Launch Flexibility

Trial production is available for new product launches, allowing brands to validate a product without committing to a full production run.

Plant-Based Softgel System

Starch Vegetarian Softgel System

A cassava-starch shell rather than a carrageenan-based system, designed for plant-based product concepts.

Cassava-based vegetarian softgel capsules

01Natural and Clean

Made from cassava root. Certified non-GMO, Halal, Kosher and Vegsoc, with no carrageenan in the shell system.

Quality testing of vegetarian softgel capsules

02Safety Profile

No animal-source viral risk, chemical additives or cross-linking reaction during storage, with defined material controls.

Uniform translucent vegetarian softgel capsules

03Appearance and Taste

Improved thermal stability compared with gelatin, with the natural characteristics of a cassava-based shell.

Vegetarian softgel formulation ingredients and fill media

04Formulation Range

Compatible with a broad range of fill excipients, supporting practical formulation, bioavailability and stability objectives.

Supply & Finishing

Reliable Supply. Flexible Finishing.

Where the shell material comes from, and what we can do to it before it is packed.

In-House Finishing Capability

In-House Enteric Coating

On-site coating capability helps avoid external subcontracting, additional shipping and a second external quality-release step.

VeriSym® SE Optical Inspection

Automated inspection provides consistent, measurable review of every softgel after encapsulation.

Every softgel is inspected — not a sample of them.

Batch or continuous in-line inspection after encapsulation.

What It Checks

ColourDetects colour variation
AreaMeasures capsule profile
WidthConfirms capsule width
LengthVerifies capsule length
SymmetryIdentifies shape variation
VeriSym SE optical inspection system for softgel capsules
Inspection runs in batch mode or continuously in line after encapsulation.

Why It Matters

Consistent inspection creates practical production and quality value.

01

Inspection at line speed supports increased productivity.

02

Less work in progress helps lower cross-contamination risk.

03

Consistent inspection operates independently of shift or operator.

04

Quantified rejects help identify process drift early.

How do we know every capsule is right? We look at every one.
