The large honey pill shell capping machine is a key equipment used in the production process of large honey pills in traditional Chinese medicine. Its main function is to precisely fill the prepared honey pill lumps into the medicinal shells (such as wax shells, plastic shells, etc.) to complete the shell capping and sealing operation. The following is its detailed introduction:
I. Equipment Application
Core function
The large honey pills formed by kneading (usually spherical or quasi-spherical medicine balls) are automatically or semi-automatically placed into the pre-prepared shells to achieve the sealed packaging of the medicine.
Common shells include wax shells (traditional craftsmanship, good sealing, light-proof and moisture-proof), plastic shells (modern craftsmanship, lightweight and easy to open), etc. They can be selected according to the characteristics of the medicine.
Application scenarios
The large honey pill production line of traditional Chinese medicine manufacturing enterprises is suitable for large-scale production of classic large honey pill types such as Liuwei Dihuang Pill, Angong Niuhuang Pill, and Wuji Baifeng Pill.
Replace the traditional manual shell fastening method to enhance production efficiency and the standardization of packaging.
Ii. Working Principle and Structure
1. Working principle
Feeding mechanism: Conveys the honey pills formed by the pill rolling machine to the shell fastening station.
Shell positioning: Fix the shell (such as the upper and lower halves of the shell) through molds or fixtures to ensure the precise position of the shell fastening.
Pressing and sealing: Through mechanical pressure or pneumatic devices, the honey pills are pressed into the lower half of the shell, and then the upper half of the shell is closed to complete the interlocking and sealing. Some equipment may be equipped with hot melt or locking functions.
2. Key structure
The body frame: It supports each functional module and is usually made of stainless steel, meeting the hygiene standards for pharmaceutical production.
Transmission system: The motor drives the conveyor belt, gears or screws to achieve material transportation and mold movement.
Mold components: Customized molds are matched with honey pills and shells of different specifications to ensure that the shells are tightly fastened without any gaps.
Control system: PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or touch screen interface, adjustable production speed, pressure and other parameters.
Iii. Equipment Features and Advantages
Improve production efficiency
Compared with manual operation, the automated shell capping machine can process dozens to hundreds of honey pills per minute, significantly shortening the production cycle.
Ensure the packaging quality
The mechanical positioning accuracy is high, avoiding problems such as shell misalignment and honey pill damage caused by manual operation, ensuring sealing performance and the stability of the medicine.
Strong adaptability
It is compatible with different specifications of honey pills (such as 3g, 6g, 9g, etc.) and shell types, and can achieve rapid mold change production by changing molds.
Comply with GMP standards
The surface of the equipment is smooth and easy to clean, and the material is corrosion-resistant, meeting the requirements of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for hygiene and safety.
Iv. Linkage with Other devices
The large honey pill shell wrapping machine is usually used in conjunction with the following equipment to form a complete production line:
Pill-making machine: Mix the medicinal powder with honey and knead it into honey pill balls.
Drying equipment: Dry the honey pills to reduce their moisture content.
Polishing machine: Grind the surface of the honey pills to make them smooth and round.
Packaging line: After completing the shell sealing, subsequent packaging processes such as batch number printing, boxing, and plastic sealing are carried out.
V. Maintenance and Precautions
Daily maintenance
Regularly clean the molds and conveying components to prevent the residue of powder from affecting the operation of the equipment.
Check the lubrication of the transmission system to ensure smooth operation of the equipment.
Safe operation
Operators need to be trained to avoid having their fingers enter the mold pressing area.
The material of the shell must meet the pharmaceutical standards to prevent the migration of chemical substances from affecting the quality of the medicine.
Vi. Industry Development Trends
With the acceleration of the modernization process of traditional Chinese medicine, the large honey pill shell wrapping machine is developing towards intelligence, high precision and multi-functionality, for example:
Integrate a visual inspection system to automatically remove products with unqualified packaging.
It adopts servo motor drive to achieve more precise pressure control and energy-saving operation.
Support remote monitoring and data traceability to meet the demands of information-based production management.
Through such equipment, traditional Chinese medicine enterprises can retain the characteristics of traditional dosage forms while enhancing the level of production automation and the controllability of product quality.
