The GMP approved manufacturing of softgel capsules has been carried out by ARCO^® since 1986 and it is the core of our business.

The electronic control of the different encapsulation machines is centrally done by the control desk. Dierolls rotating against each other punch the two capsule parts out of the gelatine ribbons and seal them, whereas, at the same time, the filling is injected via a segment between the shell elements with a dosage accuracy of ± 1%.

The finished capsules are transported by assembly lines in the computerized predrying tunnel where the neutral oil is removed in several cleaning phases.

The cleaned capsules are put on special trolleys and dried in adequate designed rooms.

After drying the capsules are automatically sorted in batches according to size and shape. Afterwards the final cleaning takes place. Respecting appropriate hygienic measures the capsules are then manually sorted by special machines which enable to sort out capsules which do not meet the ARCO^® quality standard.
