Today, there are many individuals who choose to eliminate meat from their diets. Regardless of their reasoning, a recent poll shows that millions of Americans are vegan or vegetarian. This number is only growing, including the sales of plant-based alternatives to traditionally non-veggie products. Thus, the need arose for a plant-based version of the more common animal gelatin capsules.

Vege Capsule (HPMC empty vegetarian capsules) are predominantly made out of vegetable cellulose - a key component of plant cell walls and vegetable fibers. There are several different types of cellulose that can be used to make these capsules, such as hypromellose. The main thing to know about this substance is that it comes from softwood trees (think pine and fir) and can function as a powerful binding and coating agent - this makes it a great alternative to animal gelatin.

For this reason, HPMC empty vegetarian capsules provide all of the quality of a gelatin capsule, without the need for the use of animal byproducts. Like their gelatin counterparts, Vege Capsule slowly release active ingredients as they are digested. Additionally, they can be used for both powdered and liquid supplements; there are no clear limitations.

The process of making hard HPMC empty vegetarian capsules is, however, not the same as the process of making vege capsule.
You will begin with preparing the ingredients well, and then proceed as in the following steps.

Preparing the Ingredients
First, you will have to prepare all the ingredients and mix them in proper proportions in the heating and mixing tank.
It usually takes the machine about 3 hours to properly blend, heat and melt the ingredients to proper standards.
After that, you will transfer the molten ingredients into the hopper of the HPMC empty vegetarian capsules making machine.
The hopper has heating elements which will maintain the temperature of the molten ingredients.

Making the Outer Shell
The second step in this process involves dipping the pins into the molten ingredients.
Usually, the machine has numerous pins which it rotates inside the molten ingredients until the back is thick enough.
After that, it will remove the pins from the mixture maintaining the rotation mode for proper distribution.
As that happens, you will pass a stream of drying air which will solidify the molten ingredients on the pins.
Finally, you will cut the solid part into two thus making the cap and the body before scrapping it off from the pins.

Filling the Hard HPMC empty vegetarian capsules
You can either use the dosator capsule filling machine or the tamping pin capsule machine.
It involves arranging the body of the capsules strategically them filling them with the right amount of filling materials.
After that, you will fill the body with the right amounts of inner fill materials.
You have to ensure that you compress them well before covering and discharging the whole hard HPMC empty vegetarian capsules.

1) Preparation Stage
First, you will prepare the ingredients that you will use in manufacturing the outer shell of the HPMC empty vegetarian capsules.
Preparation of the ingredients, will involve proper mixing of all the ingredients to make a homogenous mixture.
Apart from that, you need to consider the proportions of ingredients that you mix at every interval.
In addition to mixing the shell making ingredients, you will heat the mixture for about 3 hours.
This will melt the ingredients into a homogenous solution.

2) Making of the Outer Shell
There are various methods that you can employ in making the HPMC empty vegetarian capsules shells depending on the type.
The molten mixture will move from the mixing and heating tanks and onto the hopper of the veggie encapsulation machine.
From the hopper, the molten materials will flow to the tooling system which will flatten and form the ribbon.
This action usually occurs on both sides of the machine resulting in a ribbon on the left and the right side of the machine.

3) Encapsulating the Fill Materials
The third step involves wrapping the fill materials into the ribbons from the right and left side.
Implying that the fill materials and the ribbons will meet and the machine will encapsulate the fill materials into the ribbons.
After that, it will cut them into individual pieces and transport them to the drying trays.

4) Drying Process
Once on the drying trays, you will transport them to the tumble dryer or the drying tunnels.
After that, you will pass the HPMC empty vegetarian capsules through the capsule sorting machine to sort them out.
It will get rid of the Vege Capsule that do not meet the right specifications for production.
Finally, it will pass through the capsule printing machine for labeling of the capsules before storage.
