Hard Capsules
Hard Capsules represent the optimal form for powders and mixtures of powders
Would you like to have food supplements produced as hard capsules? Are the highest quality, scalability and all-round service from development to private label packaging & logistics important to you? Then Goerlich Pharma is your partner for the production of your quality product!
Due to its positive properties, the hard capsule is one of the most popular dosage forms for food supplements. Standard hard capsules are filled with powder and powder mixtures. The intelligent technology of the tube dosing technology additionally enables us to fill the hard capsules – also called two-piece capsules – with raw materials that are technologically more demanding during filling due to their nature. We keep numerous high-quality raw materials in stock for filling hard capsules. You can find an overview of our regularly available formulations for hard capsules here.
We are at your disposal if you want to develop individual formulations. Get in touch with our customer consulters today.

Advantages of hard capsules at a glance:
✓ Odourless and tasteless
✓ Quick release
✓ Capsules with sustained release possible, e.g. for formulations with probiotics

✓ All standard sizes are on stock
✓ Quick and cost-efficient production
Another positive point: Social responsibility is important to us. Our hard capsules are manufactured according to the FairTSA™ Processing Standards. This means that with this certification, you not only receive high-quality capsules, but also capsules produced in a socially responsible manner – a unique selling point for your product!
Our hard capsule filling technologies
✓ Plate dosing technology for fully automatic powder filling
✓ Tube dosing technology for formulation with complex filling materials
We offer two technologies for the production of two-piece capsules: Plate dosing technology and tube dosing technology. In both cases we work with fully automatic machines. The advantage over semi-automatic machines is that there is very little weight variation in the production of hard capsules and the quantities are scalable, resulting in an attractive price structure for you when producing larger batches.
With the special tube dosing principle, it is possible for us to realise little to no additives, and thus an overall shorter ingredient list – in other words, a clean label product. With a view to the end consumer, a clean label product is an important advantage over conventionally produced food supplements. Furthermore, more complex mixtures (e.g. with stickier or fluffier raw materials) can be filled in this way, which are not possible with the plate dosing technique.
