An apparatus and method to produce capsules of a moldable hydrophilic polymer composition, preferably gelatin, using a combination of an injection molding device with a microprocessor (28) to precisely control the conditions of time, temperature, pressure and water content of the hydrophilic polymer composition, in a cyclic molding process, are disclosed. The injection molding device comprises a hopper unit (5) for feeding gelatin to an injection unit (1) from which plasticised gelatin is injected into a molding unit (2). |
