Soft Gelatin Capsule Tester – Hardness Testing

Introduction

Soft gelatin capsules are widely used in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics. Ensuring their quality, consistency, and performance is critical. A soft gelatin capsule tester is specially designed to evaluate the mechanical properties of softgels, including elasticity, rupture strength, and puncture resistance. By accurately measuring these parameters, manufacturers can guarantee the stability, effectiveness, and consumer safety of their products.

Test Purpose

The primary purpose of using a soft gelatin capsule tester is to assess the physical integrity and mechanical performance of softgel capsules. Key objectives include:

Ensuring shell durability during manufacturing, transportation, and storage.
Monitoring rupture force to meet regulatory and customer quality requirements.
Identifying production inconsistencies that might affect capsule performance.
Testing with tester allows early detection of potential failures, helping industries maintain high-quality standards and regulatory compliance.

Test Process of Hardness Testing

The tester follows a straightforward yet precise testing method:

Sample Preparation: Select representative softgel samples, usually conditioned under specified humidity and temperature conditions.
Test Setup: Position the sample precisely on the testing platform of the tester.
Load Application: The tester applies a controlled force until the capsule ruptures. Force-time curves are recorded in real-time.
Data Analysis: Evaluate parameters such as maximum rupture force, deformation characteristics, and puncture behavior.
Report Generation: Comprehensive results are documented for quality control and process improvement.

Application Materials of Soft Gelatin Capsule Hardness Testing

The tester is versatile across various industries and capsule types, including:

Pharmaceutical softgels (e.g., vitamins, pain relievers, herbal extracts)
Nutraceutical products (e.g., fish oil, coenzyme Q10)
Cosmetic capsules (e.g., skin serums, essential oils)
Medical device encapsulations
Different gelatin formulations, plasticizers, and shell additives can all be evaluated using the tester to optimize product quality and shelf life.

Choosing a reliable soft gelatin capsule tester ensures consistent quality control and strengthens brand credibility.
