A method is disclosed for the sealing of gelatin capsules having hard shell coaxial cap and body parts which overlap when telescopically joined. Also described are apparatus and sealing fluids to seal the capsules. …<??>The method comprises sealing the cap and body parts by the application of thermal energy, or a sealing fluid and thermal energy, to the region of overlap of the cap and body parts. …<??>An apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed. The apparatus comprises: a funnel (5) for receiving the capsules (4) and applying them to a conveyor (14); wetting means (6,7) for applying sealing fluid to the capsules; drying means (9) for removing excess fluid from the capsules; and a energy source (15) for applying thermal energy to the capsules. |
