How it works 1. Gel Melting: Melts and dilutes the net – creating a 6% concentrated solution 2. Microfiltration (MF): Selective membrane solution isolates all suspended solids 3. Ultrafiltration System (UF): Purifies again – leaving only good quality gelatin molecules and water. 4. Decoloration (DS): Resin makes an ion exchange and decolors the gelatin - turning it back to its original color. Creates crystal clear gelatin. 5. Ultrafiltration again (UF): Re-concentrates the solution – turns it into 30% solution. 99.9% pure gelatin solution (concentrated at 30%) The Gel Reclaim System comes in 3 sizes: 500 kilo, 2,000 kilo, and 4,000 kilo gelatin net per day. If you're curious about how this system works, or how it will transform your manufacturing, Changsung welcomes visits to their pilot plant in Korea. There, they can run your gelatin through the GRS, test it, and provide you with all the results and documentation. Contact us for more information.

More info at: ChangsungSofgel.com Changsung Softgel Systems is proud to introduce the very first Gelatin Reclaim System of its kind to the United States. Why should you constantly waste valuable gelatin trimmings and money when there is a way to recover and reuse it? Changsung's Gel Reclaim System, currently fully functional on three different continents, is saving softgel manufacturers around the globe thousands of dollars and tons of raw material every single day. The GRS is a revolutionary answer to a widespread problem, and is leading the industry down a more energy-efficient, cost-efficient, and environmentally clean path. In just 20 hours, Changsung's GRS recovers gelatin scrap from a softgel line and is able to turn it into a 99.9% pure gelatin solution that is exactly the same (or better!) than virgin gelatin. At the end of the process, the recovered gelatin can be fed back into the manufacturing line to create softgel capsules of exceptional quality. Is investing in such a technology really worth it for softgel manufacturers? If your company runs 5 machines for 14 hours a day, you are producing approximately 302.4 kg of gelatin trimmings per day. If you are then discarding this excess gelatin, you are throwing away $3,024.00 every single day in just gelatin. So what's the ROI of such a system? A company will achieve payback in just 18 months with no technology fees or licens- ing requirements. Additionally, any company taking advantage of the GRS will immediately gain a competitive advantage in the industry. Unlike any previous attempts at such reclamation technology, Changsung's GRS boasts: • No solvent • No fees or licensing • Less energy requirements Worried about documentation? The entire system can be documented and proven for regulatory purposes.
