MFG Gel Cap Drying Trays

Low-cost imported plastic drying trays look like a bargain on a purchase order. But they warp under stacked loads, crack and chip within a season or two, and slow down your drying room with poor airflow. Every replacement cycle means new POs, new downtime, and new safety risk on the floor.

MFG composite trays, exclusively distributed by Chemtech International since 1992, are built to outlast 10–15 replacement cycles of a standard plastic tray, all the while drying faster and stacking more capsules into the same drying room footprint.

• Fewer changeovers: One tray purchase can outlast a decade or more of repurchasing, re-budgeting, and re-approving POs for cheaper trays.
• More output per drying room: Because MFG trays stack 67–70 high versus roughly half that for foreign plastic trays in the same clearance, you fit more capsules into every production run without expanding floor space.
• Faster cure times: Drop sides and ends improve air circulation, so capsules dry more thoroughly and consistently, resulting in fewer rejects from marking or sticking.
• Cleaner surface: Cheap plastic trays rely on perforated holes for airflow, which can harbor bacteria and pathogens. MFG trays have a smooth, gel-like surface with no holes to trap contamination.
• Built to take a beating: Composite trays hold their shape under continuous stacked use and won’t warp like plastic. Like any tray, they can chip or crack under abuse or if dropped, but day-to-day, they far outlast plastic alternatives.
• FDA-compliant: Manufactured to meet FDA Title 21 CFR 176.170 for direct food/pharma contact.
