The claimed subject matter relates to a rotary die device for producing soft capsules, comprising a capsule forming unit for forming a soft-capsule shell and a dosing unit for feeding a filling material into the capsule forming unit, characterized in that the dosing unit comprises a conveying apparatus of viscous melts and a portioner, wherein the portioner is connected at an end thereof to the conveying apparatus of viscous melts and is arranged in a filling wedge with a section in such a way that filling material from the portioner reaches the location of the capsule filling directly or by means of one or more channels having a length of at most 30 mm. Using said device, high-viscosity filling materials can be filled and thus novel soft capsules can be made accessible.

Method and device for producing soft capsules

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a starch-containing shape body and a homogenised, starch-containing mass and shape bodies manufactured therefrom. The method is carried out in a manner such that the value of the limiting viscosity index of the mass manufactured therewith is at least 40 ml/g. Such a valve of the limiting viscosity index ensures an elongation at rupture of the extruded material of at least 150%, by which means soft capsules with a one-part capsule casing may be manufactured with the rotary die process.
