Abstract (en)

A divisible hard gelatine capsule, particularly for solid or highly-viscous flowable products, consists of two halves which represent opposing semi-circles in cross-section, each with a respective bottom part and a top part which is attached thereto. The sum of the two thicknesses of the capsule halves is somewhat less than the width thereof and the two opposing semi-circular capsule halves are joined approximately in the centre, with respect to the longitudinal axis, so that the divisible capsule can be divided into two parts by twisting them substantially about a transverse axis perpendicular to the opposed planar walls of the capsule halves. The invention further relates to a process for producing the filled divisible hard gelatine capsule.
