ABSTRACT An apparatus and method for forming hard shell gelatin capsules. The apparatus is the type that includes a container for holding liquid therein, and a plurality of separate and dintinct rigid bars are provided to rigidly support a plurality of upright pins.The pins are shaped and sized to have individual halves of the capsules formed thereon. Apparatus is provided for dipping a pre-selected number of adjacent bars with the pins thereon into the liquid gelatin.The gelatin is dried on the pins that are carried on the bars. The capsules are stripped from the pins. A drive operates the dipping system, the drying system, and the stripping system at a selected speed, when five of the bars are dipped simultaneously intothe liquid gelatin. The improvement in the apparatus and process involves dipping six of more of the bars simultaneously,into the liquid gelatin, and providing drive means that operates at least the stripping means,at a speed which is at least twenty percent greater than the selected speed when the apparatus utilizes a five bar dip.
