Tablets & Capsules September 2017 45 Softgel drying trays Softgel drying trays feature drop sides and/or ends that improve air flow and drying. Trays' smooth composite is washer-safe, can withstand continuous heat to 250°F, and eliminates marking and sticking. Rounded corners and con- toured edges prevent moisture accumulation and residue. Stackable trays do not warp or distort under heavy loads. Trays come in four colors to simplify inventory and identifi- cation. Optional dollies help you transport trays.

Clear capsules are stock item and delivered in days; colored and custom-printed capsules are also available. All are available in gelatin (bovine, porcine, fish, SLS-free, and PEG) and HPMC and provide immediate or acid-protected delayed release. Suheung-America, Brea, CA.
