The production
The raw material purchased from selected suppliers, is treated with an alkali and acid solution and then extracted by hot water inside the extraction vessels.
The gelatine solution is then purified through several dedicated steps, continuously monitored by Lapi Gelatine’s technicians. The remaining water is then eliminated by under vacuum evaporators and a drying tunnel (after the gelification and extrusion).
Gelatine is finally packed and stored ready for despatch.
