METHOD FOR PRODUCING A HOT-FILLED SOFTGEL CAPSULE AND SYSTEM FOR COOLING A HOT-FILLED SOFTGEL CAPSULE
摘要
A system for producing a hot-filled softgel capsule (20) utilizes a chilled liquid (200). The chilled liquid is routed through a chilled liquid conveyor tray into a chilled liquid bath. The chilled liquid conveyor tray (320) directs the flowing chilled liquid into a flowing chilled liquid layer. Softgel capsules having a heated fill material are deposited in the flowing chilled liquid layer. The chilled liquid layer cools the capsule by transferring heat from the capsule to the chilled liquid. The flowing chilled liquid layer transports the capsule out of the chilled liquid conveyor tray (320) into a chilled liquid bath. A capsule transfer conveyor transports the capsule out of the chilled liquid bath to a chilled liquid removal device (800). The chilled liquid removal device removes the chilled liquid from the capsule.
