Roxlor currently manufactures three types of capsules:

• Standard capsules made from bovine hide gelatin only.
• Aquacaps, capsules made from fish skin gelatin.
• Acticaps, capsules made with plant extracts.

Roxlor manufactures empty hard capsules for the pharmaceutical and dietary supplement industry in sizes 0EL, 0, 1, 2 and 3. All operations are assured through our comprehensive QA procedures to conform to European Pharmacopoeia standards and the specific requirements submitted by our customers.

Standards colors (white, transparent and ivory) are always in stock and all other colors can be manufactured upon request of customers. All colorants are approved by our customers and conform to the European directives and the French and European Pharmacopoeia.

The capsules can be decorated with radial or axial printing, double colour.

Roxlor prides itself on product innovation as shown by the introduction of Acticaps in 1999 and Aquacaps in 2001.

Acticaps are capsules containing plant extracts (pineapple, red grapevine and wheat germ) naturally rich in bromélaine, tannins, flavonoides and vitamin E. These capsules provide a highly bio-available supplement of these vitamins and minerals through digestion of the capsule.

Aquacaps® are produced with fish skin gelatin raised with plants, proteins and food in conformity with the European guideline 2000/766/CE JO of 4.12.2000 relative to the food of the animals. - There is no need to modify the AMM file. Aquacaps conform with the European Pharmacopoeia and posses the same machineability, stability and dissolution as regular capsules. Aquacaps have shown to be free of allergens and odor.

Our capsules are packed in strong heavy wall corrugated boxes with 100 micron non-static polyethylene bags. We supply one size carton for all size of capsules: dimensions 575/375/730 mm.

A capsule is a very sensitive product and it must be protected against excessive heat and humidity. For storage we recommend a temperature between 15 to 25°C and a relative humidity between 35 and 65%. Do not leave open inner bags in non air conditioned areas.

For filling, we recommend a temperature between 19 and 24°C and a relative humidity between 35 and 60%. To maintain the capsules initial specifications, temperature and relative humidity have to be adjusted together.
