Hard Gelatin Capsule Size 1 Empty Made in Iran

1. Introduction to the Supply Chain Department at Sahi Rasa Company

The Supply Chain Department at Sahi Rasa Company has developed a profound specialization in the export of pharmaceutical packaging components, and hard gelatin capsules occupy a central position in this portfolio. The department's approach to capsules is fundamentally different from that of a conventional trading house. It recognizes that empty capsules are not passive containers but precision-engineered drug delivery systems whose dimensions, locking force, moisture content, and microbial purity directly affect the safety, efficacy, and stability of the final pharmaceutical product. A capsule that fails to lock properly during high-speed filling can result in product loss, line downtime, and potential regulatory non-compliance. A capsule with inconsistent wall thickness can cause filling weight variation and dosage uniformity issues. A capsule with excessive moisture content can interact with hygroscopic fill materials and compromise drug stability. The department's technical team is acutely aware of these risks and has established rigorous sourcing, testing, and quality assurance protocols to mitigate them.

The department sources hard gelatin capsules from qualified Iranian manufacturers who operate under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions and hold relevant certifications. These manufacturers use pharmaceutical-grade gelatin derived from certified sources, and their production processes are validated to ensure consistent quality. The capsules are tested for critical quality attributes, including dimensions (cap diameter, body diameter, length, wall thickness), locking force (the force required to separate the cap from the body), moisture content, microbial contamination, and heavy metal content. Certificates of Analysis are provided with every shipment, and retained samples are kept for traceability. The department also verifies that the capsules meet the pharmacopoeia standards of the destination country, whether that is the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.), Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP), or another national standard.

For clients in Afghanistan, the Kurdistan Region, Iraq, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, and Syria, the Supply Chain Department at Sahi Rasa Company offers a reliable and flexible supply of hard gelatin capsules size 1. The department's multilingual staff can communicate in English, Arabic, Turkish, Persian, and Russian, facilitating smooth transactions with clients across the region. The department also has experience navigating the regulatory requirements of each destination country, including import permits, health certificates, and customs documentation, ensuring that shipments clear customs without unnecessary delays.

2. Product Overview

Hard gelatin capsules are two-piece capsules made from gelatin, a protein derived from collagen. They consist of a cap and a body that slide together to enclose the fill material. The gelatin used in pharmaceutical capsules is typically derived from bovine or porcine sources, although fish gelatin and vegetarian alternatives are also available. Iranian hard gelatin capsules are manufactured from pharmaceutical-grade gelatin that meets the requirements of major pharmacopoeias.

Size 1 hard gelatin capsules occupy a mid-range position in the standard capsule size series. They offer a fill volume of approximately 0.50 mL, making them suitable for a wide range of drug dosages and supplement formulations. The capsule length is approximately 19.4 mm, with a cap diameter of approximately 6.63 mm and a body diameter of approximately 6.35 mm. The wall thickness is carefully controlled to ensure proper locking and protection of the fill material.

Primary Applications:
