Capsule Filling Machine

In recent years, capsule filling technology has developed rapidly, and at the same time, the related mechanical equipment is also constantly developing and improving. How to produce capsules better and more efficiently has always been the focus of our attention. From manual to semi-automatic and then developed to today's fully automatic, it can be seen that capsule filling technology is gradually mature and skillfully used in various fields.The simple and convenient operation of the capsule filling machine has brought great convenience and benefits to our life and production. Because of this, more and more people begin to choose more advanced equipment for production.

1. What types of capsules are there? What are their respective characteristics?

First, according to the different capsules can be divided into hard capsules and soft capsules. Gelatin is the main material of hard capsule. The soft capsule is made by soft capsule material, the wall of the capsule is composed of gelatin, plasticizer and water. Because of the different release characteristics, there are sustained release capsules, controlled release capsules, enteric coated capsules and so on. Slow-release capsules delay the release, absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs in the body

in order to prolong the effect of drugs. Controlled release capsules are capsules that release drugs slowly and at a constant rate in a specified release medium. Enteric coated capsules do not dissolve in gastric fluid, but can disintegrate in intestinal fluid to release active ingredients.

2. In what fields are capsules widely used?

Medicine, health products, food and cosmetics and many other fields are widely used.

3. Which substances are suitable for fillers?

The filling will be different depending on the capsule. Hard capsules can be used to fill solid, granular and powdered drugs. Soft capsules are used to fill liquid medicines or syrups.

4. How to choose the capsule filling machine for different fillers?

There are corresponding machines and equipment for different forms of fillers, and there are also different machines and equipment for production and filling according to the difference between hard capsules and soft capsules.

5. What is the basic principle of the capsule filling machine of the hard capsule?

The hard capsules are arranged and oriented in the pipeline, and are separated by vacuum suction.The fill and plug metering method is used for material filling and then reject the waste capsule. Then close the capsule and discharge the finished product.

6. How many methods are there to make soft capsules?

The production of soft capsules is divided into two kinds, one is called pressing method, and the other is dropping making method.

7. What is the basic principle of the soft capsule filling machine produced by the pressing method?

Different from the two-step production method of hard capsules, in which two capsule shells are formed first and then filled, soft capsules are formed and sealed by rotating molds, which is a continuous one-step operation.The rubber made from gelatin and glycerin is formed through two continuous rotating molds and through the mold cavity on the mold. The size and shape of the capsule are determined by the mold cavity, and the rubber closely fills the product into the cavity, and the filling ends just before the sealing.

8. What is the basic principle of the capsule filling machine that produces soft capsule by dropping making method?

The dripping method is to add the oil into the hopper; Add the gelatin paste to the glue hopper and keep it at a certain temperature; The soft capsule is filled with coolant, gelatin on the outer layer, the liquid drops out from the center tube, the gelatin paste drops first on the liquid paraffin and unfolds, and the oil drops immediately on the surface of the gelatin that has just been unfolded. Due to the acceleration of gravity, the rubber continues to fall, so that the it is completely sealed.Coupled with the effect of surface tension, the rubber becomes a round ball, and gradually solidifies into soft capsules due to the continuous decrease in temperature.

9. How does the liquid capsule filling machine work?

On the basis of hard capsule filling machine, more attention should be paid to capsule and drug safety. Some volatile, oxidizing and hygroscopic drugs are easily degraded under the influence of temperature and oxygen in the air during storage, transportation and use.Capsule sealing technology is adopted to make the capsules in a sealed state, which can reduce the exchange of air and water inside and outside the capsule shell and reduce the contact between the internal drug and the oxygen in water, thus reducing the possibility of easy oxidation and easy hydrolysis of the drug, so that the internal drug is always in a sealed state during the packaging, storage, transportation, sales and use, and improve the stability of the drug.

10. What are the characteristics of hard capsule filling machine?

Hard capsule capsule filling machine has good sealing, variable frequency stepless speed regulation, simple operating system, high probability of capsule loading, accurate filling dose, small volume, low energy consumption, high output, stable operation, product standardization, serialization, low noise, and small vibration. It can also complete the actions of spreading capsule, opening capsule, filling, removing, locking, finished product discharge, module cleaning, etc. It also has frequency conversion speed regulation and programmable control.The dosing plate is equipped with a barrier around it, which can effectively recycle the powder thrown out of the lower surface of the dosing plate through the pipeline, and reduce the dust on the workbench surface. So the operation and cleaning are both very convenient.

11. What are the characteristics of soft capsule filling machine?

The soft capsule filling machine has complete functions, the hopper has no material buzzer alarm, the empty bag is not enough to automatically stop, and the filling function of pellets, particles and tablets can be installed according to user requirements to meet the needs of 3 kinds of materials, to meet the needs of slow release, controlled release and tablet drugs in the same capsule. The sealing device is embedded in the bottom of the measuring plate of the soft capsule filling machine, which reduces the wear of the parts and is easier to clean.Like the production of soft gelatin capsules, soft film cooling uses an automatically controlled water cooling system, which is safer and more reliable.The opening of the soft rubber box is controlled accurately, the instrument shows the thickness of the gelatin film, and the thickness is easy to control.

12. What else can this technology be used for?

In addition to the field of medicine, capsules as health products can be used to package dietary supplements, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other nutrients. Other food manufacturers use capsules to package food additives, flavorings, dyes, and flavors. In cosmetics, capsules are used to encapsulate serums and moisturizers.

13. According to what can be classified the capsule filling machine?

The foreign capsule filling machine is divided into two categories by the movement of the spindle transmission table: one is continuous, the other is intermittent. Our current equipment is also divided into manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic; Turbine capsule filling machine, continuous capsule filling machine, plunger capsule filling machine and rotary capsule filling machine (high-speed capsule filling machine).

As one of the hot preparation equipment, the production technology of capsule filling machine has met the needs of most of us to a certain extent. The capsule filling machine adopts advanced control technology, which can achieve high efficiency and energy saving, reduce energy consumption, and improve production efficiency. Since the dosage of the drug is very accurate, the capsule filling machine uses a metering device to accurately measure the dose of the drug and ensure the quality of the drug. The operation of the this machine is very simple, only the raw materials need to be put into the machine, which reduces manual operation and improves production efficiency. And it uses high-quality materials and technology, has high quality reliability, and can ensure the stability and production efficiency of the production process.
