改造软胶囊生产过程中的独立转笼结构

Transforming of independent rotor cage in the process of soft capsules production

目的对独立转笼的笼身结构与电机齿轮进行改造,提升设备性能,从而达到工艺优化,产品质量稳定。方法改造独立转笼的笼身结构,将独立转笼内部导轨拆除,将特弗龙材质的棒材加工成20 cm块状,然后不规则的分布装在转笼内壁。同时将主动齿轮与被动齿轮进行互换。结果通过改造,将丸子在独立转笼滞留的时间由4 min降为1 min,减少丸子变形问题。增加不规则特氟龙导条很好地改变了丸子运行轨迹,解决了丸子在转笼结块黏的问题,独立转笼清洁时间也从原来的30 min降为10 min。结论改造后的独立转笼更适合软胶囊产品的生产,并且减少了废丸的产生,提高独立转笼清洗效率。

Objective To modify the cage structure and motor gear of the independent cage and improve the performance of the equipment, so as to optimize the process and achieve stable product quality. Methods The independent rotor cage was modified, and the inner guide rail of independent rotor cage was dismantled. The Tefulong bars were processed into 20 cm bulks, and then they were installed on the inner wall of the cage by irregular distribution. Also the active gear and the passive gear were interchanged. Results Through equipment modification, the retention time of pills in independent rotor cage was reduced from 4 min to 1 min, which reduced the problem of meatball deformation. The addition of irregular Tefulong bars changed pill trajectory well, and the problem of agglomeration and sticking of pills in rotary cage were solved. The cleaning time of the independent cage was reduced from 30 min to 10 min. Conclusion The independent rotary cage after modification is more suitable for the production of soft capsule products, which reduces the production of waste pills and improves the efficiency of independent rotor cage cleaning.
