Capsule filling machines are an important piece of equipment in the pharmaceutical industry

Capsule filling machine is an important equipment in the pharmaceutical industry, in the filling process, the movement of the capsule is dependent on the indexing box for intermittent, discontinuous, rotary movement
.

Specifically, the hollow capsule will be in the capsule hopper, the motherboard up and down, the capsule relies on its own gravity to enter the capsule guide groove, and then by the horizontal fork vertical plug so that the capsule cap is up, the capsule body into the upper and lower modules, and under the action of vacuum suction, the capsule body is separated, and then enters the powder filling station
.

The filling station mainly controls the filling weight of the capsule contents, which is a more important link, and the main problem is the instability
of the weight of the filling contents.

According to experts, the main reasons for this problem are as follows
.

First, the metering plate and the lower module are not well aligned, and the misalignment here leads to the drug not falling completely into the capsule when filling, resulting in the weight of some finished capsules always being light
.

Second, the gap between the isolation block and the measuring disk above the measuring disk is too large, and the role of the isolation block is that when the drug in the measuring disk is transferred to the filling station after compaction, the drug of the tamping monkey is isolated from other drugs in the powder ring in order to fill
.

Third, the height of the powder on the dosing plate also has a certain impact on the filling quality, and the height of the powder is controlled by the sensor in the powder ring above the screw lower material rod, and the powder is continuously added and the constant powder height
in the powder ring is maintained.

When cleaning the capsule filling machine in the in-service, there are many
precautions.

Because the capsule filling machine is easy to cause dust leakage when cleaning the equipment after the end of production, in-line cleaning is one of
the main measures to ensure closed production.

"Just seal the individual dust pipe openings and transfer the remaining materials such as powder and capsule shells, and the equipment can be turned on for in-line cleaning
.
"
"Capsule equipment manufacturers introduced
.

The cleaning nozzle installed inside the production operation area cleans most of the internal area of the equipment online, and the cleaning water is discharged
through a special drain on the countertop.

A water gun can also be installed inside the operating area, which can be used to rinse areas that are difficult to clean and minimize dust residue.
It should be reminded that after the cleaning of the capsule filling machine, the capsule polishing machine, metal detector and connecting pipes should be cleaned and wet on the line, and the cleaning water will be discharged into the
special pipeline.
